hard lumps on injection site

[BlimpThePimp]

This is my 1st cycle ever. Im running Abbott exports rx ts 400 blend. Im 3 pins in. I been doing glute injecting 1cc a week , 1 pin. I been getting hard lumps and painfull when touched. I did eveything correct besides heating up the oil. I got to shoot again today but both of my cherks still lumped up , i got 23 g 1 and half needles. Ware can i pin today and what are theses lumps?

Probably just some oil that seeped into your subcutaneous layer (fatty tissue) above the muscle. Just keep an eye out for redness and a fever. It's really common, and can be caused by going too fast or by jerking the needle around a lot when pinning. You can try your delts or quads, but be sure to take a good solid minute per ml you inject. Heating the syringe up can help, but having a steady hand works wonders.

Steady hand is key. I used to get lumps in my delts when injecting test prop. I found warming up the oil and injecting slowly helped a lot. Thereafter I would massage the injection site for a minute to help spread the test into the muscle a little more. After a few more injections the lump started to be less frequent and I no longer get them. It can also be due to your virgin muscles. Like halfwit said, keep an eye out for redness and a fever, but you should be fine.

It could be virgin muscle I get lumps when I first start I think its just cuz the muscle is not use to the gear Imo also switching to 1.5" pin for glutes helped me

ive enver gotten lumps from an injection , id say there is always a possibility that either u are injecting too fast , slow down when u inject to let the oil diseperse smoothly into the site , you are having some kind of reaction to something in the gear , or maybe the gear is kind of low grade

30 sec per ml and hold it steady bro

Either site is fine. You can use the 1.5" all the way in on your quad, but I'd only go in 1" if you decide to go with delts. I do recommend picking up some 25g-1's if you plan on rotating to these sites as it can be cumbersome trying to keep form inserting the needle all the way in (and the possibility of snapping the needle) while focusing on applying pressure to the plunger.

What I have found is it seems like some oils (brands) knot up and some don't at all.

Just a quick question...

I injected 2cc of test 400 in to the glute with no issues (except normal ache)
I then got kicked accidentally in the injection spot around a day later.
Now the lump has appeared.
Not red or hot (overly hot at least) but a little painful.

Could this be something more than just a knock to injection spot which has aggravated to already aggravated muscle that I have injected into?

Thanks in advance

Its likely the gear or esters your using thats causing the lumps. I got lumps badly in the 4 cycles i ran test prop (all reputable labs) but never any pain with any other ester. you may just have to bear with the pain if warming the oil first doesnt work.

Definately a 1" pin for delts, and thighs. 1 1/2" for glutes, however I have also used 1 1/2" pins on my thighs as well. You need to make sure you are getting a deep IM injection. Leave the pin in for about 10 seconds after the oil has been injected, and then press HARD on the injection point immediately after you remove the pin for about 60 seconds or so.....theoretically, a lot of problems with pain and lumps, etc, are associated with a little bit of blood and/or oil flowing back up the injection path. That will help prevent it/limit it. A 23g pin should flow fine with pretty much any gear, and I have used that big of a pin in the past, but if your gear is quality, you can use a 25g pin without anything pluging up the barrel of your pin. I used some Medistar gear a while back, and while I was happy with it, I had test plug the barrel of a 25g pin....since I have changed over to AndroMed Labs (No..I am NOT a rep for the UGL...I just really like their gear I have been able to pin with a 25g pin consistantly, without any problems. In fact, it actually flows very smoothly..

It could be a variety of different reasons. I used to get that a lot.
The fact that it's still virgin muscle can be it, and yes a steady hand is key. Don't move the pin when it's in you, don't flex your muscle either when the needle is in. Could be dirty gear, could be an infection. Make sure you use alcohol wipe the rubber on the vials and injection site before and after injecting. Could be the remaining test your body didnt absorb in the 24 hour time period that was left behind and crystallized. What I do to prevent that, right after you pin, take a hot shower and let the hot water run on the injection site for a few minutes while gently massaging the area. Never had that issue since I started doing that
