How to tell if you hit a nerve

**sky** · 01-30-2018, 02:16 AM

Pretty sure I hit a nerve on a thigh pin.

Soon as I hit muscle my leg started to convulse . Has anybody else done this ... Just so happens I had to try 4 different spots first 1 I was at a painful spot and didn't want to force througg then the leg convulse thing thing another extremely painful spot but the 4th didn't feel it whole way through which is how it's always been ... crappy pin day but that convulse thing freaked me out.

Yes. Involuntary movement means nerve contact.

I used to have my gf suck while she was pinning my glutes. I knocked her unconcious involuntarily. She stands behind me now.

R. I haven't personally, but one of my doctor's did and the needle popped out when I flinched. I'm guessing he must have hit a nerve during the EMG test.

What guage needle and length are you using?

R. That's a fairly large pin. I don't know what you are injecting, some esters require a larger pin, but if its just regular Test (Test Cyp, Test E or Prop), then try a 30G - 1/2" slin pin. Has been working okay for me on low dose TRT. Can run warm/hot tap water over the loaded pin for a smoother inject.

This is why I can’t do quads. Last time ended up in urgent care with an infection. I’ve never successfully pinned my quads

Ouch I'm extremely careful and sanitary I know this doesn't make it 100% but hopefully I never get an infection but mind me asking how you got the infection? When I had the spasm I stopped and cleaned the area then waite for the the hole to close up before hitting the next spot. But I could see if you were in the muscle this being difficult to controll.

you really just need a 1" pin... if u guys are stickn in the mid area of thigh either front or side that may be too low. move up .. if u stand and go bout 6 inches down from ur hip bone , to me i hit no nerves .. lower in mid yes and it hurts ..
