+ 2 Awful pip mct carrier oil?
ad
So I’ve tried 2 different labs, both gave me awful pip to the point the area would swell up and be really hot and itchy for a few days, tried injections in multiple different places, if I did it in my quads or glutes I would struggle to walk for 2/3 days, if I injected into my shoulder or triceps I couldn’t move my arm for a few days it was that bad, I’ve contacted both labs and both use MCT carrier oils, I’ve spent a lot of time researching and trying to contact supplier websites and labs themselves trying to find some test and deca that use a different carrier oil but I’m really struggling, does anybody know of any? I’m based in the uk West Midlands, thank you

Sourced some different stuff that was recommended by somebody on this forum which contains a different carrier oil and I’ve not got any pains any more when injecting, it went so smoothly, thank you everybody that helped out
FR sent if you'd like some tips, hit me up brother.
I thought I had a similar reaction to MCT oil when I switched from cottonseed. But when I switched to MCT oil I also switched gauge needles from 25 to a smaller bore 27 when using MCT oil, the smaller bore needle causes higher injection pressure so it was giving me large welts. I haven't had an issue since using 25 gauge again. Hopefully your PIP is caused by something as simple as this.
Edit: I switched to a smaller gauge needle with MCT because at the time I thought that since MCT is a thinner oil I could get away with a smaller gauge needle.
Was the carrier oil in the end, got some different stuff with a different carrier oil and it went smoothly with no pain at all
Probably overloading the solvents. Changes in filtration. Could be switching carrier oils too or sourcing the same but less quality or something. Since the raw shortage happened some labs must be playing catch up trying to get products back in stock. Cutting corners I mentioned above would save time and money... Resulting in the things we’ve been seeing
When contacting the labs have they mentioned their solvent mixtures (bb/ba)

Any chance you could let us know what the product you're injecting is?
Is it Test E? DECA? Tren?
Is it something like 400mg/ml by chance?
He is using the Chinese Lab I normally use bud, plus another UK one beginning with R.
Interesting
I recommended a Brand that uses GSO to see if its any better for him
You’re a good lad, mate.
LMAO!!!! Have you become a native speaker of the Queens English now pal
Trying to be more cultured.
Test cyp 200
Deca 300
Those concentrations with those compounds shouldn’t cause pip. Could be the carrier oil as you’re already thinking.
Turned out to be the carrier oil as the new stuff in GSO is great no pain at all
Hey brother - I'm in the same boat you were in rn. Glad you're feeling better and figured it out - could you dm me their info? I'm desperate rn man the pip lasts for 7-10 days like wth
Glad you figured it out.
Are these Labs made in the UK or is it an International lab buddy?
Is this your first time injecting steroids also?
You may have to send me an FR and PM me if you want to discuss this properly as you cannot name brand names in the forums.
Hey brother - is it cool if I DM you? I'm dealing with the same exact issue as OP. 6 weeks on Test C and I legit can barely move or use that muscle 7-10 days after pinning.. think MCT oil is my likely culprit and I'm searching for something new
Im guessing bad technique....
I don’t think so man - if there’s an error I struggle pinning like my ass I have my wife who’s a nurse pin me lmao. Think it’s MCT in the gear I’m using.. could be the gear itself but I found someone online using the same batch as me - whilst also heating the vial, using a 1 inch needle, and pinning the same sites as myself and he didn’t experience the crippling diabolical unable to walk PIP that I have
Will send you a dm now, really appreciate your help thank you
