First injection pain

Disturb

New member
Hey bros. So I decided to use the forum advice I'd gotten and go with test e only as my first run. First pin was Monday with 250mg/ml, 1ml injection, of test e. I pinned with a 25g pin and my leg is kind of in a bad place right now. At first it was just a slight pain and it didnt really affect me, I even worked out like an hour later. Here I am 2 days later with my leg a bit swollen and hobbling along like I got shot lol. Reading online some people say this is actually kind of normal for a first pin, but Is it really? I legit can barely walk.

IMO, you hear this less often from people who choose glutes.
It's a big 'ol target, with relatively large mass.

But if I shoot the glute and can't sit? Haha. Really though, I chose my quad just for ease of injection; it's directly in front of me and is easiest to control. Glute just isn't as simple. I'm due for another tomorrow but if my ass ends up like my leg I'm gonna be in a really bad place lol.
 
naw man.. watch a video on how to do it.. i do both side with no help.. its not too hard. and it doesnt hurt like the quads.. even if its sore its barable
 
Yeah bro.... I've done quads... But for me, it's no contest.... GLUTES.

Yep. I cant twist all the way around so im kinda on the upper hip/glute region. Been doing for 15 plus years...never anywhere else

OK. Will definitely check out some videos. I'm not inflexible it just seems not as simple.

Do you guys only pin in the glutes? I've read about people rotating in a way that allows then to only pin the same muscle like once every two weeks or month to allow it to heal.
 
As long as it’s not red and warm to the touch, then it should be fine. Glutes and delts would probably be better as already mentioned.
 
It's normal. Hell I've been doing this for like 2 decades and I still take a bad shot every once in awhile

Im dark as night; I don't turn red. I can't say it was inflamed, just swollen as **** and super sensitive. I can handle some pain as long as it doesn't end up like this where I can't even workout lol.

I'll try delts tomorrow. Hopefully I maintain use of my arm over the weekend

Probably just a bad injection. Virgin muscle+bad technique will cause that. I’ve gotten big lumps in my ass before from higher doses and poor technique.
 
Well, I'm in for the glute tonight. Definitely gonna pay more attention to needle position while I inject because the first time I was just all over the place, and all kinds of in and out. Wish me luck boys.

Whoa...yeah, no need for in and out. Just be calm and treat it like a normal thing.
Ever watch Nurses give shots?? Bing, bang, done. I just go a little slower with the plunger.

I’m now picturing something like this:

But yeah as Renew1 says just nice and easy for the win. I’ve been glutes on my first cycle with no issues (12 weeks in)

Yea it wasn't on purpose, it was just way harder to push than I expected. Like way harder. And I was so focused on pushing slowly and not pushing too fast at the same time, that I didn't notice the needle was going up and down.

Well, I actually pinned delt tonight. I looked at stuff for the glute and I just don't think I have the control or am ready. Plus I'm using 1" 25G needles and I keep reading that you need a 1.5" needle.

The good news is I feel like I did better this time. I wasn't all in and out. Pushing was hard but I was able to go nice and slow. Took a good 30 seconds to inject the 1cc.
The bad news is I literally forgot like half the prep steps. The main ones are, I didn't aspirate, which, I'm not 100% sure I could with the position I was on for me delt, but I didn't even try. I didn't realize this til I stopped injecting and there was a drop of blood in the barrel. The other thing I didn't do was warm the oil, which I've read just makes it smoother. Guess ill see the effect tomorrow and over the weekend.

Cool. I hope you get good after effects this time.

Please forgive this question (I feel like I need to ask) .... Are you using a fresh pin each time?

Yup fresh pin. I use a 21g to draw and a 25g to pin. Got a box of like 100 barrels and 200 pins and some other **** for 20 bucks so I use them quite liberally, and if anything happens, I scrap the needle. Actually last night I scrapped one of the 25G because I hit the needle with a towel by accident. But yes, fresh everything, every time.

So far, delt feels good. I'm liking it, as long as it doesn't happen like my leg this'll work great.

Rotate sites. The first time is going to be the worst, usually. Even after the first time, you could get bad DOMS if you are moving the needle around too much. A few things to help, warm the liquid, inject slowly, inject into a warm muscle (after a shower) lightly massage the area after injection. Apply heat also to help blood flow.

I find injecting a spot, delts for example, and then working delts post injection that same day, helps with soreness.

Owww that sounds just straight up painful, how many holes did you punch??

Hope it worked out better for you this time around, I can barely feel the needle nowadays after 8 sticks

There was only one jab, I just really up and down with the needle the first. The second time I was far more steady. My arm is pretty sore, but Im not having the pain and overall negative result that I had with the quad injection.
