WTF? The pin just wouldn't go in!

[Zero Tolerance]

Has this ever happened to anybody before? I just tried hitting my right butt cheek but the 21 gauge just didn't want to go in! The first shot I pushed like normal and it went through the first layer or two of skin, but that was about it - just enough to leave a spec of blood.. I added pressure but it just wouldn't go in.. So, I figured I'd try another spot an inch away and again - it just wouldn't go in.. This time, not even a spec of blood since it didn't push through more than maybe a layer of skin..

I had just gotten out of the shower.. Could I have just had an unusally dull pin? Friggin' wierd! Yes, I could have forced it in if I really wanted to - but I thought I was having some sort of preminition or something.

Possibly a build up of scar tissue, rotate injection sites more often.

Scar tissue!!!!!! Ain't that a beauty

 

[CHAPS]

Ya it's a pain in the ass, pardon the pun, muahahah

 

[Zero Tolerance]

Man. Scar tissue already? I've only injected there like 3 times in the past 3 months.. I guess that could be too much?

no wonder you're getting scar tissue, you're using a 21g.

get some 25g, thats what i use for glutes and i pin 2x a day, yup thats right, even off cycle with b12 and l-carnitine injections.

goes in like butta every time

 

[Jayhawkk]

Wow, I use 30ga and still get scar tissue build up.

 

[glenihan]

go to a smaller gauge

 

[CHAPS]

30g? what are you guys using that could go through a 30g? Other then maybe suspension?


As for scar tissue it's bound to happen just constantly switch your injection sites.

b-12 complex

I use 21 gauge for the hiney! I don't know if I could push anything through 25 gauge in the back! I guess I will try buying some 25 gauge 1.5 inchers for my next order.. How's that sound? I'm doing OILS, so...

 

[CHAPS]

IF it's a steroid and not a suspension then do 22gauge

 

[glenihan]

i use a 25g for all my oils no problems at all

 

[CHAPS]

Really? I guess it depends on the brand of gear n such

 

[Jayhawkk]

No Glen is just a freak of nature. As usual he keeps commenting in mortal threads...He needs to stick to Beelz's and other freaks.

 

[glenihan]

lol

every brand i've ever used .. 4 or 5 have all flowed easily through a 25g ... try heating up the syringe after you draw by running it under hot water before you inject

 

[Zero Tolerance]

Okay. Thank you. I just ordered some 25 G X 1.5″s for the ole ass..

I have never bought needles, what size do lab techs use when they draw blood? Everytime they draw my blood i ask them what gauge it is and they dont know. They always say "oh! im going to use a bigger needle." Sorry im not experienced, i was just thinking of how big 25gauge and such are. There is no relation to wire gauge sizes is there?

 

[glenihan]

i THINK they use 18g's to draw blood .. i know every time i give blood i'm shocked by the size

 

[pistonpump]

yeah me too!!! lol you can see the diameter of the hole in the needle. I looked at it and said to myself that better not be 23g! lol

But does anyone know if needle gauge is the same as insulated wire gauge? Im thinking it might but i will research it...peace bros

Hey ZERO are you "PULLIN" and "SHOOTIN" with the same "PIN".......REMEMBER...pull with 18 ....shoot with 23...NEVER use the same pin....GOOD LUCK...jim:jaw:

[AGELESS]

First off...I admit Im not the smartest guy on the block. (the only word I can spell in your profile is NASA). Now that we got that outta the way....

I read your profile...it says...you are...and I quote " Strategic Conceptual Business Development Consultant for Nasa, AMEX"

What do you actually do for NASA?

You must admit your post is funny - The pin just wouldnt go in...lol
Oh god...am I really gonna post this??

If that is your pic in your avatar, and you dont think this is funny,...Im in deep doo-doo.

 

[biscuite]

Or using the same pin to draw with....Bet on it!

 

[Jayhawkk]
