Injection question

Hey everyone... first of all... thanks for all the great posts! I've been a lurker for a while, and I find everyone really helpful and informative!

I just started using a mild dose of some gear, which includes 1cc of Deca a week. However, when I injected (about a week ago), I think the pin was too short and it seems to be sitting right on my glute (but not in the muscle). Is there any advice how to get the gear to absorb? What are my options at this point?

P.S. there are no symptoms of an abscess.

Thanks!

Just leave it alone.

Next time get the pin in the glute at least an inch.
 
If it was right under your skin, it would probably hurt like hell. It's probably in the muscle just not as deep as it should be. Leave it alone and do it right the next time.

You can try injecting sub-q in your stomach to see what the pain feels like. :D

It doesn't feel like it's right under the skin... it feels like it is in the fat
 
next time use the right length.... better too long than too short !

With all due respect guys... I'm looking for thoughts/advice how to proceed with this issue rather than corrections on my technique. I already noted in my post that the pin was too long.

In other words, "Yes, I understand that I screwed up. Now what?"
 
some doctors advise shooting gear subq instead of into the muscle and many have done without problems. just takes a bit longer to absorb.

it should disperse eventually. applying mild heat/rubbing it might help.
 
i've been using a 23g blue, 1/4 or 1.4 its about this long [-----------] ish... :) , i've been pushing it nearly all the way in, leaving a slight gap just in case it snaps off.... does this sound ok?

agree

its probably a bit warm and red, thats normal for this scenario... your pin was not long enough for that area and you injected into your dermis or subcutaneous tissue. it will absorb within the next 4-5 days. if it starts to turn a slight purple (bruise) and the heat does not subside there is possible signs of infection. although you should be fine.
