Well... ****. I hit the tensor fascia lata while aiming for VG and boy... I can’t walk today.

So don’t do that.

Gluteus medius would be the VG, I hit the tensor... WHY!?

(Btw never had this happen before so not being able to walk is new.) I’ve had PIP before but this is a whole new world to me.
 
Yeah you gotta watch that damn tensor fascia lata.

Yeah, I forgot. Just put my palm on my hip socket and went between thumb and forefinger like I used to. Just a little too far forward. It the tensor DEAD ON center. I hoped it would be ok after but... nope. This morning I definitely look old.
 
Also I did it in one hell of a hurry. Didn’t feel anything except I messed up the exit, and my hand jerked to the side just a tiny bit. No pain then either, just felt it move a little (wife was giving a spanking right outside the door, surprised me)
 
Usually I’d like to take about 30seconds to push in the oil. I did it in three to five.
 
For the record, I did this last night and the pain kicked in while I was trying to sleep. Woke me up a few times.
 
I did regular vg sticks for about a year before I realized I was way off the right spot. Been all over that area and never an issue - you must have had some really bad luck

Is your next post going to be titled "Do I have gyno?"

Dude, I’m telling you. Crazy I’ve pinned VGs a million times. Never had this. I went just a bit too far forward. Hit the wrong damn muscle. Totally virgin muscle I’ve never hit before too, and a bad one to do. The tensor fascia basically lifts your leg and stabilizes your steps. I’d rather hit my quad with a 21 and shove 3ml all in two seconds than hit the tensor again.
 
Speaking of Adex. I just took 0.25 mg, as I will do the day after pin until I either crash estrogen or need more.
 
I’m not a heavy aromatizer, I guess. I’m a pretty heavy 5a reducer though.

Just using a prophylactic dose of Adex because you all seem so concerned when I mention no AI.
 
Oh and I guess it goes without saying the pip is mostly gone, but I did zing it a little on the way out, so it’s going to be tender for a day or two.

On Sunday I’ll be doing the other side, let’s hope I hit the right muscle this time.
 
This is so comforting to read considering that I planned to start pinning ventroglute after adding my second compound...

Just make sure you’re aiming at the gluteus medius and not the tensor fascia lata and you’re good.

This is like a one in a million bad shot. The tensor fascia is probably one of the worst just for pure debilitating effect. It’s a very small but very strong and important muscle. Makes pip in quads look like a joke.

And like bigbeaph said, you can fill your hip full of holes and not hit it like I did in years and years. I’m just lucky.

Lol i used to just straight blast it on in there but now it seems the muscle wants me to go slow

Yeah I used to do that when I was in a hurry, and it always hurt more the next day. I was trying to compromise here, but failed somewhat. And the I hit the totally wrong muscle so now that’s in a knot, but there really was no pip in the traditional sense. Injection point is fine, the depot welt was fine, it’s the muscle I hit and where it connects to the hip and leg that are screaming when I try to move it.
 
Had I just gone for the dorsoglute id be fine. Unless I hit a patch of scar tissue... a lot of it I got to break down and absorb with massage and essential oils. Over a period of years. But there’s still a spot or two of extra tough meat. That’s why I went for VG because I had less and there is none there anymore. So I thought it’d be smooth and easy for the first time coming back.

Whoops.
 
After this I could pin 3ml of DHB 200 straight into my ass and the pain would be totally fine with me. This does suck. Worst injection I’ve had.
 
This is part of the reason ive been more partial to long esters this past year. Im so comfortable with thighs and occasional delts i dont wanna have to throw anything else in the rotation lol. Hopefully this does boost your pain tolerance a little at least for some DHB prep haha

Just do it. Either you can see the VG muscle or not. Once you realize what it is you cant miss it. Then hit right in the middle of that basturd. Vg is comfortable, pip is easy to deal with, can take lots of volume, easy to reach....could go on but you'll be glad you tried it. Little unnerving pinning that area for the first time for sure.

Well, I can’t see mine these days... thought I could. Whoops.

Still not sure how I hit so far forward. I should’ve just done it sitting down like I used to. I did it lying down because I found I prefer it versus standing or sitting.
 
Hi, I’m the guy who is so nonchalant about doing injections he doesn’t even pay attention to what muscle belly he’s about to spear.
 
Went to the doctor. I was hobbling so bad the other side started to hurt from compensating.

I just said I pulled a muscle slipping and falling in the shower. Got some diclofenac and clyndamycin for my tooth and an “OH well..” for the hip.
 
TBH I just wanted a crutch and a doctors note. He really did not want to give me either of those. Bastards...

Lol...i just feel around for a spot with the least scar tissue. Hit my sciatic once..that sucked hard. But I pin the whole area..as far as I can reach..both sides.

Nah the gear is great so far. Felt like nothing going in. I just hit the wrong damn muscle. My tensor fascia is far too small for a whole ml of fluid, much less a rush job of it.

When I hit the actual VG it will be like nothing.
