Synthol Question??

reddragon4954 · Oct 31, 2006

I have been using syntherol for a couple days and was wondering if its normal to have a little bit of trouble flexing and will this go away soon? I been doing syntherol for two days.

the key is to massage well and often and stretching. You will love the final results with Syntherol.

big A, i am in the maintanence phase of synthol in the biceps. i put 2cc's in each head of the bis and now my left bicep will not flex. even if i do a curl it does not flex or peak. i make a muscle and it is still soft and loose like i am not flexing at all. will this go away. i am not going to continue unless it returns to normal. what should i do. is this common or did i do some nerve damage. also my forearms are pretty numb on both sides. weird feeling. help if u can.

sounds exactly like you hit a nerve. i believe its the axillary nerve that innervates the bicep, which also continues down and branches into nerves that innervate the forearm, which is why your hand is numb. if you can still do a bicep curl with normal form and not using your delts or forearms i would imagine you still have some muscle fibers being activated. i have NO idea what you should do, but just giving you some hopefully useful info

Agreed, you hit a nerve with the needle or some of the oil is pressing on one. Even if you can't fully flex, the fact that you can use the muscle, that means is funtional, which means the nerve damage is temporary.
In case it's just oil pressing on the nerve, massage the muscle as much as you can so it speeds up the dissipation.

I had the same thing happen in my outer quad with a prop injection. I wasn't able to flex my outer right quad for a year. Biceps though are much smaller muscles and they recover much quicker.

thanks for the reply. i have been stretching the hell out it all day. seems like it oil pressing on it. thats exactly what it feels like. doesnt hurt though. i dont want to lose size so should i continue maintanence when its better. say like a week. thanks

You ca do the maintanance just avoid the overall area where the nerve is being pressed on.
If it's oil pressing on the nerve that gets fixed within days as the oil dissipates.
If you would have hit a nerve with a needle, then you would have damaged the nerve and that takes a long time to heal.
