Have you ever hit a nerve pinning in a quad?

[Get_Swole]

Anybody else ever hit one? I know presser has and a few others. Im still hesitant to go in quads just because last time i did my head almost hit the roof when i struct a nerve lol. Now I just anticipate hitting another one. Who else has had this wonderful experience lol?

 

[rbethel]

lol i've hit one in my quads n it was effin PAINFUL...my quad jerked and i didnt kno if i should pull it out or just back up a bit and when i pulled the pin out it was almost as if it was hard to pull out than usual,...i was trippin bro lol

 

[Crazymank]

no way man, i try to stay away from my quads.

 

[Get_Swole]

i may have to put them in there, i like areas where i can use two hands one to aspirate and push the other to steady the needle. Shoulder last night was sketchy lol shaking a bit, afterall it has been over 1.5 years.

 

[Crazymank]

lol.. bet it hurts today!!!

 

[Get_Swole]

ehh its not too terrible. Little tender but not bad i went through a damn vessel on the way in though and some of the blood got trapped between the skin and muscle so i got some bruising. I had to aspirate twice cause i was shaky lol i accidentally pulled the pin out a bit and back in while pressing so being the paranoid person i am i had to check again.

 

[Crazymank]

lol.... you sound like a newbie

 

[Get_Swole]

ha i know man been 1.5 years and ive never been an ace with a needle. What really sucked ass is i trained shoulders about 2 hours before i pinned them so i was shaky just from being tired and fatigued then add in the 1.5 year break and something almost new it was bad haha.

 

[Crazymank]

lol... well, if it makes you feel any better. I've been sitting here with a pin ready for about an hour. just havent mustered the strength to put it in yet.

haha hey in a few weeks go get a deep tissue massage on your delts then come pin about a week later in them and post the results. ive been wondering for years if that truly helps get rid of the scar tissue and i know you said you had alot of it. It will be like an MC project hell ill send ya 5 bucks to help cover the cost haha we could get a pot going so you didnt go out of pocket lol. I dont have that much scar tissue anymore but i like to know i have options if it gets bad.

 

[Crazymank]

i have a gf that is a massage therapist. Ill have to ask her, but i have to figure out a good reason why i have scare tissue. She is actually my wife's best friend. So i cant say its from gear use.

I hate quads, always hit a vein or a nerve-use to use them all the time, they just suck now:evil:

 

[smokedog]

same here.. last time i used my quads i hit a nerve.. that was the last time. too many other spots i can rotate with.

 

[franconian]

Many times! Try the upper outside 5-6 inches down from the hip bone, always pain free there

Many times! Try the upper outside 5-6 inches down from the hip bone, always pain free there

thats where I usually pin and it is painless and very seldom I hit nerve there:wink:

I used to use my quads as my go-to spots. Upper outer quadrant. Hitting nerves are just part of the game brother! Go slow. One time I hit a nerve in my chest and it felt like I hit my funny bone for hours and hours from my outer chest down to my wrist. Talk about painful. I almost never used my chest after that but was forced to a couple of times and it went fine. It actually fucked up my ability to fully contract my inner chest. Luckily it's getting better but that was like 5+ years ago.

 

[sponger246]

I'll have to rotate quads and glutes. I don't know if I have enough mass on my chest yet to inject there, I feel like I would hit something else.

 

[Stickler*]

I've hit em and it sucks... the worst is when you go through a nerve, then hit a blood vessell and gotta pull the pin out and start all over again with a duller pin..

oh yeah.. and i'll pin quads with a 21g 1.5" needle...

Tell her that you are an insulin dependent diabetic, but you don't want your wife to know, because she'll freak the hell out.

Hell, yes, and it wasn't a fun experience. Damn leg jumped hard when it happened and made me pop the pin out. Leg was very sore after that.
