Injection (PIP and Bulge)
Alright guys, I'm fairly new to the whole steroid world. I've been training since school, currently 24 years old and weighing in at 204, and decided to pull the trigger and run a cycle of sust. A buddy of mine gave me the advice to pin in the glutes, as the PIP is not as bad as the quads. Well I started Monday with my first injection on the right side. Everything went smooth, hardly any PIP. As for the right side on Thursday, there was hardly any pain, until a few hours later. Showering the next morning (Friday), I looked behind me as my ass was sore lol, but had a bulge, it almost felt as a socket of oil or something is in there. It's now Monday night and the swellings gone down, but the bulge is still there. It's not just a little ball, the whole muscle (gluteus minimus) is swollen. There's no discoloration other than some redness. I'm not to the point of freaking out, as the PIPs not there anymore and took all the necessary precautions to make sure everything was sterile (wiping with alcohol pad, changing needles), or should I be worried? I don't believe its infected, just need some help and thoughts?
Thanks

Sustanon is generally not a good compound for the first time user. It contains 4 different esters, propionate, phenylproprionate, isocaproate, and decanoate. The problem with running it is that since you have zero prior experience, how do you know how your body is reacting to each of the various esters? The pip you're experiencing could be from either your technique, maybe some of the oil went subQ on you, the fact you're pinning virgin muscles, or any of the esters attached to the test. Prop and phenylprop have been know to cause pip in a lot of individuals, and since they both have a short half life, frequent pinnings is required keeping you even more sore. At this point, just try to tough it out and finish what you've started. Ibuprofen helps a lot, as well as working out the muscle you've injected. Good luck.
As you are already running this cycle, im not gonna burn you down. Sus is a really bad choice for a first ever cycle. You should have either gone with Test C, or Test E. You are just figuring out how your body react to test. Sus is a blend of 4 different esters. But since you are already on. I suggest you clean the area "well" then heat the oil. Pin as slowly as possible, right when you take the pin out, start rubbing the area vigorously. This will help the oil dissipate.
Welcome to pinning! You will get different amounts of Pip and swelling in different muscles and from different types of gear. If there is no redness or heat, and i don't mean just warm. It will probably go away in 3-5 days. There are all kinds of web sites and posts regarding pip. Use the magnifyng glass up top and search PIP. Smetimes certain oils I have to warm first or get pip. Good luck!
