- Title: Axial Nerve in Delt where IM INJ goes if hit can = Frozen shoulder?! Have we been lucky?
Ok, I'm turning 49 years old this Tues., Dec. 15, 2020 and I don't want to make anyone have anxiety, but I learned some info. trying to get aquainted with Delt Pins again after taking several years off.
I'm trying to make this work otherwise I'll have to retire from a.a.s. & go All Natural.
I only have 2 sites, I'm never doing the glutes again, nor the quads becasue there are just too many nerves & blood vessels in the quads and the sciatic nerve in the glute caused my friend to be temporarily paralyzed for 7 days in 1997
in the last 2 days been brushing up / reminding of the Delt INJ because I want to give my Pecs a break; very disturbed that the Recent news I found out in the prior day or 2, that there are 2 Nerves (1 runs up to down, 1 left to right) exactly in the rectangular box in shown in spot injections dot com and elsewhere (other how to, diagram anatomy info out there)
this changes the game and makes Extra Precautions necessary
not too happy about the Frozen Shoulder and "Paralysis that shows no resolve " pain for months as in like 6-9 months, these are not reassuring phrases
I know we take a chance in this game, just like pro Racing & riding a motorcycle, has calculated risks, but we want to keep them to a minimum
even more so now, nobody wants to go to urgent care or the ER during the colder weather at ground zero of where covid patients are...and get exposed to that novel virus
5/8 is too small in my opinion--and might go Sub-q which lends itself to abcess problems where the juice just lingers there and turns bad. I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall at 205 pounds and can Incline Bench 175 pounds at the moment, so maybe that gives an idea of that my delts are meaty enough
going in with what I got a 1 inch needle is that ok?
The nerves aren't deep in the muscle, if you go deep with a 1.5 in. needle u hit only bone *but again they are in the vicinity of the area that needs to be pinned in the delts (the safe zone)
so basically the safe zone in the delts has a danger zone near it where 2 nerves are.
i'm going to find a still frame of the nerves where this Indian Med doctor has a YT vid, but for now anyone else want to chime in?
(my background of why i am freaked out? Im not afraid of needles, but: had an infectious abcess in a glute in 2011, had a friend who was temporarily paralyzed by hitting a nerve in his glute)
i may have been super lucky over the years not hitting any nerves
look at the attached pics, *see how dangerously close the Axial nerve is RIGHT AT THE SPOT WHERE DELTS ARE USUALLY PINNED!
I'm using a 1 inch needle & I am 204 pounds at 5 feet 9 in tall, and can Incline Bench Press close to 160 pounds at the moment (that makes me feel my delts are meaty enough) so even though I never had hit a nerve, *you know becasue when you do it gets really hot and stingy like being electrocuted....
