Test flu??

ad

Hey guys I'm currently coming up on the second week of my test e 500mg cycle. From what I've read the pip only lasts 3-4 days but my first pin was last Thursday and my glutes are still pretty destroyed. It made it pretty hard to do squats with the pain. The second pin was in my quads and it went smoother but now I've got pirate leg and it kills!! I'm just wondering if its normal for pip to last longer than a week, I'm starting to get a little worried. I have no rash near the pin sites just the normal swelling and slight swolenness. I also began feeling exhausted today and my stomach is kind of hurting, I'm not sure if this may be the onset of test flu.

Any advice would be great

Thanks

Test E Took me 8 weeks of just injecting glutes before i barely get any PIP . Glute medius to be exact.

Before that I never thought I'd hate sitting down so much .

I'm guessing its another illness your having .
I got an infection when I injected my quad before and it just got hot and red, and wasnt getting better by day 4.

If your next injection is due, there's a warning sign . And like my case, if it still hurts, and ur more recent shot is already healing. You got an infection.

Ok well I think it was a one day thing because I feel better now but it is strange that the PIP doesn't go away by the time my next pin is. I just pinned Sunday in the quad and it still kills today. I pinned my left glute this morning but I can deff still feel slight tenderness in my right glute from when I pinned there last Thursday. I tried injecting slower today and no pain so far, but well see how it feels tomorrow.

Its 500mg/ml. Will my body eventually adapt to the sensitivity as the cycle continues? Im going to try pinning slowly for a full minute next time, maybe that will make the PIP less intense. My ass feels much better today since I bought a heating pad and heated it for a good 20 minutes lol

It's def possible that you will adapt to it but you may want to dilute it just so you don't waste a couple weeks of workouts due to pip

damn thanks a ton for the info and advice!! Yea i heard prop is much worse than test e in terms of PIP, which is why I'm a little hesitant to use it. Ill have to dig up some research on how to dilute the actual test but I hear grape seed oil is a good choice. Good to know that Im sensitive to this stuff now so I can get a lower concentration for my second cycle. In the end I don't think it makes a huge difference wether I'm using high concentration or low concentration gear, except for the pain.

Thanks, thats a good read. well i'm only 1 week into my first cycle so my first pin was pretty rough lol. I didn't heat the gear enough, and I thought it wasn't coming out of the syringe when i was pushing the punger because of the oil and how hard it was to push, so I only got about half the gear out. I took the needle out replaced the syringe and needle and injected the last half of the gear into the same area (not a good idea). So i can understand why my glutes have been hurting for so long. As for the quads I heated the gear for about 15 minutes and the pinning went much smoother than the first time except I think I pushed the plunger to fast and hard. Ill try going slow next time. Its just hard to not go fast when theres a needle sticking out of ya lol. Do you have any advice about the flu like symptoms?
