sensitivity on top of thighs to pinning

**draconian2014** · 09-09-2015, 04:02 PM

I am not quite sure why but the top of both theys are almost hyper sensitive to pinning almost to the point I cant even push threw the skin without immense pain ? does anyone else have this or is it just me for some reason and if so how do you go about treating it is there like a numbing agent I can use or something .I have to do my own pinning so some sites are limited

Are ya pinning directly on top?? Hit the upper outside(pocket area as Kubes puts it)..My skin also seems to be alil tougher there at times but once I'm through its smooth.But careful not to go too low on side of quad,I've had it build up on top of knee like fluid on my knee from pinning too low..Your pain may just be virgin skin bro

I don't usually go quite that low never thought of fluid build up on knee's that's good to know for future reference .I just thought it was weird because I can do the sides and quads no problem at all .yea ur prolly right just virgin skin . thanks for the input

Also bro,you got nerves that run from your spine down front of pelvis,down between the quads,these branch off to lower outside so make sure you stay alil high on outside of quad and you'll be fine

There are a lot of nerve close to the surface there. and to answer your question on numbing agents, yes there are lidocaine rich topical solutions you can use before pinning, but it more troble than its worth. learn to shoot new spots, like lats, or inner and outer tri, and front-side-and rear delts. Maybe tricky at first but i know some friends that got it down and make it look easy now lol.

Yeah I'm having the same issue right now. Have to use some serious force to even break the skin on my thigh, kind of don't even want to pin there anymore just because of how bad that shit hurts.

I get this too! I figured i was the only one. If i set the tip of the needle on a hyper sensitive spot, i usually just re-steralize and move it a few milimeters around that area and always find a spot that is do-able. But i do get this same problem.
