Is this normal? PIP related

I pinned my delt on saturday, and the PIP really was apparent only on monday. Today, was going to workout upper body, but decided to move it to tomorrow to see if PIP gets better.
The pain used to be at injection site, but today it moved down just a bit (between the upper biceps and triceps). There is also a little reddish bruise like warm spot there.

I also saw this with my quad. Not reddish/bruise spot, but I felt the pain moving down from the upper quad to above the knee in the final days of pain.
Is this the crystals moving?

Im currently using Test-e 400mg/ml. Doing .75ml each twice a week.


edit: the spot is not "light" red, but more like a darker spot of the skin, like a bruise, hard to see but I guess I can because the pain comes from there. It's not at injection site.

Don't know if it's "normal", but I've had it. Happened regularly with a compound that was very "thin" (not very viscous). I guess that allows it to follow gravity. Maybe a little heavy on the alcohol. ??
 
its normal. what size needle are you using (length)? sometimes if you dont go deep enough the oil gets trapped under the skin in the fat which can be painful and cause it to seep down because of gravity. it happened to me before. pinned upper outer quads, not deep enough, had major pain in injection spot and it slowly moved down and swelled up my knee. finished the cycle and everything was fine. just make sure you go deep enough to get it in the muscle.
 
No, not normal at all. PIP will sting at the time and get worse over the next day or so and get very sore. But bruising is a different story. I would discontinue use. A friend of mine went thru the same thing some years back and he ended up at his doctors and was lucky and got away w/only having to take antibiotics and it went away in about 2 weeks. I would stop.

I use 25g 1" for both the quad and the delt. I go all the way down.

He had an infection? Not sure if this is an infection? Doesnt it usually come with a fever like symptom?
 
My buddies didn't. I'm not an expert on the subject but i've been using since 1996 and have used many different compounds by many different labs. I've had unbareable pip and had to refilter and even add bb ro some to make it doable. But never bruising or even where the injection site turned a slight red. I think it was too much ba in my cases. And if you think about it, when was the last time you got a shot from a doctor or nurse and the site bruised? Might sting or even hurt, but never bruises. Probably cause their stuff is legit. I would stop using the stuff if it were me. Just my thoughts.

I just pinned the same kind of test you have with no problems last night did you check out that website?

yeah the only thing I could be doing wrong is when I push the oil in, there is so much resistance I have to put force into it resulting in the needle being moved. This is after I but the syringe under hot tap water for a min. Kinda getting depressed, still cant straighten my arm without it hurting.
Pinned quad yesterday so I am expecting another great amount of pip, already sore this morning.

But these are virgin muscles, so I'll tough it out and hope for something better in the next couple weeks. Already missed 2 workouts so I was kinda upset ;)

Do you have a good girlfriend that perhaps may help you mine does my glutes for and I don't feel a thing.
 
I wish, she'd pass out trying to give me an injection...

I should never have gone with T400, should have started with something lower in concentration... and now I have 30ml to go through. Ugh Do you know where I can buy sterile grapeseed or cottonseed oil in Canada? Maybe if I diluted it a bit, the pip will be better.
 
my work does I can pm you the website see if you can I know a couple fellow grunts that buy cottonseed oil the only problem is that they would have to order it but I know we buy from a company called sigma you can try them might be quicker but only comes in 1 liter thats the shitty thing and we dont stock it I am sure someone else on here knows better
