I was wondering if somebody ever had this problem but last night I was trying to inject and I couldn't push the compound in, I had to switch the spot which I hate to do, honestly I felt the needle was going to bend and made me very nervous, I was wondering if I hit scar tissue or something.

That could have been a lot of things. I've had the plunger get snagged, kind of from me pushing down on the plunger at a weird angle. This usually happens when I do glute injections. I do bend the needle from time to time. It's no big deal to be honest. Can't see why you couldn't push down at all though. That's strange.

It could have been many different things.
What size Needle and Barrel are you using.
As I've had Smaller Needles get Clogged when Piercing the Skin, and Barrels get Stuck..................... JP
P.S.
Scar Tissue would be another possibility, but only if you are Poking yourself with a Garden Hose.
I keep my Needles Small, and Switch Injection Sites often.

I think that that is the problem.
For whatever it may be worth, I find that any compound whose weight is between 200 and 250mgs using a 23 gauge needle works best while a 22 gauge needle is optimum for compounds between 300 and 350mgs. While injecting 100mg compounds, such as primo', I use a 25 gauge needle. And I always draw whilst using a 20 gauge needle.
That's happened to me before. You have a big build up of scar tissue in that injection site.
Book a deep tissue massage and ask the massage therapist to really work on that muscle and break it up.
Nothing to be overly concerned about but don't use that site again for the rest of your cycle. Give it a break.

I guess it really depends on what caused this. Stay away from that site for a bit and see what happens when you go back to it. Could be scar tissue.

I primarily do glute inj and run into this from time to time. I only inj 2x week and rotate areas of the glute and will still have issues although rarely. More than likely the needle tip is clogged with skin or muscle tissue or it could be you've inj into a site of scar tissue which is quite fibrotic and does not flex or stretch at all. I suggest if you switch to another area to replace the needle tip even if you just used it to inj into the skin. Trust me on this, needle tips dull like crazy after just one single use. I know this does not sound logical as they are made of steel but trust me on this. Reusing a needle can cause infection and will just flat out hurt more. Write that down.

If its hard to push or you can feel like its ripping the skin its scare tissue. if you put the needle in and it glides smoothly its fresh skin. if you Put the needle in and start to feel a weird pain you went trough a vein/blood-vessel. Switch spots. I use some thick oil.. so 25g i would be sitting there for a few minutes trying to inject it all. I use a 23g and warm the oil a little bit and i can inject it within 15 seconeds
