I am running dbol and test e and my first week I did 2 injections and they were fine and now I'm on second week and these past 2 were bad. When I can out of injection it immediately bled (like down my glute) but now there's a lump and it's like purple ish. The pain isn't too bad. Doesn't hurt at all unless u press it hard. But one thing that I know is bad but idk if this is what caused it but I couldn't hold needle still. I can badly reach. I could pin it but it was having trouble putinf my hand back to inject . And I was really moving it a lot. I'm having a friend do it for me next time but I was just wondering if I have a problem or just poor injection technique? Thanks
Bruised lump after injection

Thanks, would I be ok going into that spot if it's still a little lumpy? I rotated glutes so it will be 1 week from that glute being pinned. I have a friend to do it for me so I'll be good without moving it anymore but should I give that spot a break and just so quad for this week or will glute be fine

Once it heals it's fine, no need to irritate it again soon. Just be sure swelling has gone down before pinning again.

Just happened in my last trap shot, big ugly bruise and lump appeared immediately. 5 days later bruise is fading and no more lump. Just don't mess with it, ur good.

If the oil was causing this, it would happen for each and every injection. OP mentioned his first 2 injections caused no harm.
Do u have any tips to help not move needle so much? I can put it in good but then I have to re adjust my hand so that I can squeeze the stuff in but my arms are the flexible so it hard to do that. I'd really like to continue with glute injections but I need a better way

Inject in an area where you're able to use both hands. One to stabilize and the other to inject. Quads or pecs. generally, folks get used to injections and become more steady with time once the nervousness fades.
Today actually went really good. I did it and barely moved it at all. Today was the right glute so I was able to use my right hand and it was easy. My left arm isn't as flexible and I can barley reach. I think part of my problem before was that I wasn't going all of the way in. Someone told me to leave some of the needle showing so if it breaks u have something to pull out. So I think I was so focused on keeping it like a half inch out but this time I just stuck it the whole way in and was a lot more smooth. I'm using 28gauge and it's 1 1/2 inch long. Do u think it would break? It seems a little flimzy

28 gauge? I'd be ready for my next injection by the time I was done
It won't break, but that might be a reason you were unsteady. You have to put a lot of pressure to get the oil out (Unless you're using the new compounded pharm stuff). 23 to 25 gauge might help keep you steadier as you won't need to apply so much pressure.

Lol sorry I ordered the pins months ago and forgot so I checked and they ones I withdraw with are 20gauge and the ones I inject with are 25 gauge. It still bled this time but it was a lot Better of a injection and everything.

Gotcha. Ok well I'm glad to hear that it was a better injection. It will get even better with time. Just pace yourself.
Good luck, Pal.
