Sq hurts but IM doesn't? Why?
ad
I've been on GH for two weeks now doing SQ injections twice a day and experienced lumps, redness, itching and pain . I switched to IM injections and since starting that do not have any of the side effects as described above. I would think that if my body had a reaction to the SQ injections it would do the same with the IM injections. Does anyone know why the SQ injections would cause this but IM does not?

I've been dong the im now for 2 weeks no issues 4 iu a day all am.
Sometimes my GH squirts too, I don't have any issues when I do IM either, I'll have a tiny lump and a swollen muscle until the bac water subsides, usually within 30 minutes, I haven't tried SQ bc I read it has a slower absorption rate, how many IU's are you taking curiously ?
Not only you can't deal with the lumps, but you shouldn't. One should not inject anything that produces an immunological reaction. gh is not a vaccine!
Note that there are many generic gh that do not produce any immunological reaction at the injection spot.
Thanks for the replies. I've decided to consider this one a learning experience. I'll stick with pharm for contest prep only going forward. It would be nice to run gh year around and that's why I tried a generic but I can't deal with the lumps and swelling.
Lumps, redness, itching and pain are due to immune reaction at the injection site due to endotoxins, manufacturing process chemicals or bacterial contamination.
The only time this usually happens is with cheap ass generics from china. Typically you wont have this issue if you save up and go with legitimate pharma GH. Pharma GH is all I will run and I have never had this issue. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen but I have never experienced it. As far as why it's doing it to you only SQ and not IM I have no idea. I know it sucks but if it were me I would stop running it and consider it a loss. Just because you think it's not as bad via IM injection doesn't mean that there isn't something going on in the muscle tissue. You just may not be aware of it.
