after reading a bunch of posts about pain the next day from test shots, I was able to really eliminate almost all the pain I was feeling the day after a shot....or at least manage the little bits here and there...
1st of all, Im no expert but I think the first time anything new, is put in your bloodstream and a potent liquid obviously a little pain would come with the territory, at least until your body gets more used to it being there.
2nd, taking shots before bed I think is a huge mistake...at least of deca/test. Its begging for a shitload more pain the next day...the liquid goes in and just sits there overnight not moving or getting around at all.....(OUUCHH think about it!) Ive noticed the days I'm up early, take a shot, shower, clean/massage the spot, and go about my day, I barely feel the pain at all anymore. If anything a small reminder to be on my "A Game" which I actually appreciate at this point. Another thing.... taking shots before bed, at least of deca/test gave some seriously f'd up dreams! I really thought I was losing it and I felt a lot better when I searched on here and read some people's thoughts that were exactly the same... some weird powerful shit..
moral of the story-- pain seems more common in the begining of the cycle when your body is adjusting to new substances
you can minimize if not all the pain, most of it, by stretching well before and during workouts, heating pad & ben gay work wonders too
dont take test shots before bed unless you want to be up all night and if youre lucky enough to fall asleep, prepare for some f'd up dreams!
