Tweetwhat size was the pin and are you sure you went all the way in with the pin. a few years ago i used a 23g 1inch pin for my glute and the oil was sitting on top of the muscle i went to the doc and just said i didnt pin it deep enough

Tweet1 1/2 25g buried it or atleast it looked buried from the mirror. deffinately is a lot lower than it should of been.. I had a buddy look at it and he agreed it should of been about an inch or so higher. he thinks I could of hit a nerve but I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary

TweetMy guess is that you are fine. Maybe you nicked something but it should heal up. I have had my share of those kinds of things over the years. I dont think it is anything serious.
The worst case when my arm swelled up and got red/hot for about a week. I finally took a bottle of protolytic enzyme tabs in one day and it cleared up.

Tweetprotolytic enzymes.. huh vitacost has them but would hit up a local source today if you think it would somehow reduce the pain. the good part is I no longer feel like im sitting on a hugh wallet nor is it the entire cheek that feels discomfort, only the general injection site so I know that some of the inflammation has gone away just extremely uncomfortable and because its there I think about it

Sounds like its going to be okay. If it is improving, thats a good sign. Yes, I took a whole bottle of 30 or so wobenzyme tabs in a 24 hour period,and it totally knocked it out. Im sure there are other brands that would work for you.
My arm was bad. I was real worried about it, but it healed up.
I shot my delt and it was red, swollen and hot clear down to my elbow. Freaked me out LOL

Tweetthanks. ill take a trip to the local vitamin shop later this afternoon see what they got

Tweeti hit a little low sometimes and get a nerve it hurts up to a week then goes away if you have no fever your fine

Probably can do both now. The first 48 hours of inflammation, go with ice only...then alternate ice heat after that

TweetIf its still swollen and puffy, probably safe to stay with ice

TweetI had that happen with a quad shot. Pinned just like always, and with the same bottle I had been using, but my quad was huge and hard as hell. I missed a days work cause I couldn't walk. It took like 2 weeks but it did get better. If no redness or swelling you should be fine. Just part of the game I guess.

TweetHave you pinned this compound before without any pip? Are you new to glute shots? anytime i pin a virgin muscle, i seem to get a bit of pip.
Sounds like you will be fine. If there was infection, it would be red and warm to the touch.

new to this particular brand but not glute shots in general. been a few months since I have hit it but virgin its not. I gave a bottle away to a friend hes gonna give it a shot if alls well with me in a week or two . prolly am gonna wait until I feel 100% before I indulge again as to not complicate anything that might be going on with me. this was by all means the worst shot ive had ever in the years ive been doing this that's why I brought it.

thanks for your input
