Pain from injection

ad

Long time follower, first time poster. I have done 5 prohormone cycles in the past, and have decided to stop wasting my money and get the real deal. I am doing a simple test E cycle, 500mgs/week. I decided to front load to get the most out of the cycle. So Sunday I did my very first injections. I used a 2 ml 22gx 1.25inch syringe. I swabbed the rubber stopper with a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide. Filled the syringe with the 1ml and then putt on a fresh needle for injection. I choose to inject in my right glute first. I swabbed the upper outer section of my glute with hydrogen peroxide and slowly inserted the needle all the way in and injected steadily. I Removed the syringe and held and alcohol pad on the injection site. I repeated this process and injected my left glute. Hours later I noticed soreness and a slight limp. The next morning I could barley get out of bed. I could barely walk, and took a lot of effort to get in my car. Had to take painkillers just to go to work. The pain was worse in my left glute. Fast forward to Wednesday. I felt 90% better, so I did the same process as I did Sunday. I injected the 2ml into my right glute, no problems. 7 hours later the same soreness came about. Thursday morning I could barley get out of bed. Had a bad limp, and struggled to move around. My boss sent me home because he saw that I was in pain. I have a very high pain tolerance ever since a scoliosis surgery, so I know that I am really in pain. I was just wondering why I am getting this pain, soreness, stiffness, and slight swelling. I want to continue my cycle, but there's no point if I keep skipping the gym because I can't really walk good. If anyone has advice, or insight to why this is happening I woul appreciate your comments.

Try these helps with me Smile
1. Warm the oil (in the barrel, not vial) warm water works.
2. Have a hot shower and loosening your muscles
3. Inject slower, 30-40 seconds a ml. Takes forever but you'll thanks me.
4. Defently try a 25 guage, I have done a 27 once. So slo.
5. Use different needles for drawing and injecting
6. Try not to aspirate to much much, enough but
7. Steady hand, try not to joy stick the needle
8. Massage the injection spot lightly, but careful oil doesn't leak (see my profile for a forum on oil leak fixes)
9. Not sure if helps but I have another warm shower after
Longer needle, so the crystals are deeper in the muscle

I ordered and received new syringes and needles. 25g 1&1/2". And the dosage is 250mg/ml. The pain has gone down significantly, but there is still soreness. Thanks for the reply!

Switch to a 25 guage needle and be sure to take your time. Go more slowly and let the oil spread.

Give these steps a try, they worked for me when I had PIP from highly concentrated gear.

  1. Get your hands on some sterile GSO, and filter it and combine it with your test. This will cut down the hormone per ml.

  2. Heat the chambers up with a blow dryer prior to injecting. This will increase the viscosity of the liquids and make it easier to inject.

  3. Take a hot shower either after or before injecting, concentrate the hot water on the area you will be pinning.

  4. Have a deep muscle massage performed pre/post injection on the site.

Also, consider how much oils you are pinning into each site, you don't want to pin more than the site can comfortably handle. Since this is your first cycle, you have a lot of virgin muscle, pin lower quantities in each site and include more sites in your rotation. You want to let each site fully heal before pinning again. I usually rotate at minimum 4 sites.

Thank you.

thank you for your personal experience and wisdom. Cold you tell me what GSO is? Is it sterile filtered oil? Also what do you mean by "heat the chambers up"? The syringe?

The Impastable's picture

GSO is grape seed oil. You want to get sterile filtered injection grade oil, NOT your local grocery oil. There are accessories shops on here that do sell the oils.

And yes, heating up the chambers means heating up the syringe. Do it until it's warm, 30 seconds or so should do.

Well. I am not experienced enough to tell you the difference between what is considered smooth gear and not so smooth gear. But from what I read, is your completely new to shots and seems like your pinning with a 22g needle which to a virgin muscle would def. leave some good soreness. You feel like a small golf ball in your butt?

Something that might help this is, before pinning, take a super hot shower. Then after you pin which you do at a very slow pace, like take at least 45 seconds to inject completely in, massage the crap out of it.
This is what makes night or day for me, every time I paid attention to it and massaged my butt or thigh, it was much better off. But the times I just pinned and went to do something, bam it would hurt. LOL

Hope this helps.

There are lots of posts here dealing with pip so check those out. You could also just have some shitty gear. Test e should normally not be causing those types of problems. I would also switch over to using alcohol pads and not hydrogen peroxide.

When I first started using AAS I always had a couple of brands on hand just in case one would cause pip and I am glad I did because one particular brand gave me test flu and horrible pip, switched it out with another and it was smooth sailing.

Pumpiron95's picture

Can I ask wich brand was smoothe for you?
