Pain after Testosterone Enanthate injection on the thigh
ad
Hi fam,
So I've been having an excruciating pain for about 3-4 days after my test injection on the upper thigh. Granted, I did go to the gym the next day, put pressure on my legs, then I also went to a halloween party and stood outside in the cold for about 3 hours. Pretty dumb.
It has swollen a bit/no redness. I don't have fever. The pain is at the injection site and surrounding thigh areas. I noticed warm heat/shower kind of helps + ibuprofen.
Is this normal? What should I do? Thank you!

You gotta be careful with thigh injections. I can only hit certain spots and if I stray it feels like I hit a nerve. I usually do it after a shower to looses up the dense muscle.
Problems like this happen with virgin muscles. It may also occur if the gear is too concentrated. I see this happen often with poorly made gear
I have the same problem in the past and I have a scar in my left quad,know I pin in the gluten or the shoulders.
It has happened to be me before in virgin muscle with a new compound. But, it isnt typical for me.
Get lower dosed test and pin glutes instead. May have to switch brands. It will be like that after each shot for at least the next month or probably two so I would try different brand and pin somewhere else unless you want to walk like a pirate for the next couple of months.
Every first injection into the quads during a first cycle especially, is probably going to result in some degree of pain the next day or several days - whether it being not able to squat down or even bend the leg or just general soreness when walking. I still get the occasional PIP in my quads and this is after pinning them for 7 years!! There are many things you can hit in quads also - Veins, nerves, and other strange areas that carry some degree of pain. Nothing to worry about, main rule of thumb is to use good quality trusted labs that have been around for at least 2 years and carry good reviews. Only ever time I have run into trouble is when ordering from new labs or previously unknown labs because the gear is 'cheaper than the competition'. It truly is worth that extra $15 per vial to make sure you do not become ill and can still train consistently
AnonYou say heat/shower helps. Well then, my advice is to sit in a warm Epsom salt bath.
Also check the vial for any crystals, turn it upside down gently and slowly to see if any crystals are at the bottom. Sometimes gear starts to crash and only forms a few or just one crystal at the bottom of the vial. When gear crashes sitting on a shelf it looks different than gear that crashes in the mail where it is getting moved around and shaken up. I've seen gear crash a little and a lot sitting on a shelf, and it formed clear crystals in those vials sitting still on the shelf. I've had gear show up crashed in the mail and it was foggy. If this gear has crashed a little and you pinned it then stood in the cold and it further crashed in your thigh...that'd probably cause some pain.
If this gear is 300mg/mL concentrated or higher then pip is common. I know there is some smooth 300mg Test out there with little or no pip but there is also some 300mg Test out there that will make it feel like you got hit with a golf ball at the driving range.
Thank you. Looked fine to me. No crystals or bubbles… First time using this brand. I shot 0.5ml of 300mg Test E. I think I stood in the cold way too long + the concentration as you mentioned.
I Should prob point out this was my first ever test shot. I’m on orals mostly.
AnonRules dude. No brand names in open forums. First injection in virgin muscles with high concentration gear. You just have pip dude. Oral only cycles are for women and fools.
Removed the brand name, thanks.
“Orals r for women and fools.”
Or people who have low tolerance for blood, needless, or need to go to work and can’t lay in bed for a week to be able to walk again…
Women give birth. Most women prob have a higher pain tolerance than many of us. That’s some sexist shit right there…
Thanks for the suggestions though. Very helpful.
Rustyhookeroral cycles are for women. Our bodies react differently. Not sexist...theres 2 genders.
AnonThere is reasons oral only cycles work for women. And it has nothing to do with pip. There is also reasons oral only cycles for men is foolish. Read in the forums and learn why. Do your own research. Negged for ignorance and an unwaranted accusation of sexism.
I like that, I wish people would do that more... explain what's wrong in a calm and polite manner +1
TricepatopsHow many MLS did you do? Also what was the mg/ml on the test eth? Was this your first ever injection? If it was first injection your muscles aren't use to it. Try to split them up into twice a week or three times a week injections at first to get your muscles use to it and minimize the pip.
0.5ml/300mg Test E
AnonAnswering these questions would paint a better picture of what is going on. If I pinned 1mL of Test E 400 in my thigh with nothing else in the barrel and it didn't have any pip, then I would question the gear being legit.
Didn’t happen to you but apparently it’s very common.
AnonIt has happened to me. I've had pip plenty of times over the years. Quads are in my pinning rotation. It is very common with high concentrated gear.
Yes, it's def normal.. just another case of the infamous "pimp limp"...you'll be better after a week. Keep taking NSAIDs and heat/can add ice to the rotation after a few more days to keep inflammation at bay. Quads are 50/50 chance
Lifted-presence92Lmfao! Pimp limp.
Woof, I should have known better. Hurts like a bitch.
Completely normal man, some people just can’t shoot quads. I’m one of them that gets about 7 days of “eff this” afterward. Now granted you might have screwed it up somehow, but you might just be one of us that can’t do it. Find a better rotation, rustyhooker posted one up not too long ago in the newbie corner I believe.
Thanks mate. Yep, I fucked up. What's the least painful spot for you personally? I was fine the first day, it started hurting a day or two later.
Personally I don’t ever feel glutes or delts. I can do calves before hamstring and that’s rare. I’ve never needed to rotate too much because I don’t slam ml’s like other guys.
AnonPinning calves...I have never heard of anyone else doing that. That is rare indeed,
RustyhookerCheck my pinning forums and warming forums
Will do
