Painful injection soreness help!

What can I do to help with the soreness, massage and heat? Test E 500 hurts like a bitch :smash: and will get Test E 300 next time! lol

Edit: After three days the pain was much better and heat and light stretching helped so much. I would never ice because the cold would make the muscle lock even harder. Moist heat is better then dry heat but both helped.

So I cut my test with B12 in the syringe and starting using 25g pins and the pip is not near as bad. The B12 will not mix with the oil in the syringe but its helps a lot with the pip.

Ibuprofen, slower injects, and pressure after the injection help a bit. Massaging right after an injection can make it worse by the way. ;)

Btw, 500mg/mL test enanthate??? Holy yowza! I bet that feels like a baseball bat to the ass!
 
yeah theres not much u can do , its normal , next time , try to warm the oil before u inject it , alot of people swear by it , but also because u are new to it , it will hurt more , ull see by week 7-8 the pain will be much much less as u get used to it
 
Will cutting it with B12 help with the soreness? Or could i mix it with some oil? Thanks

yes, in the chemistry section someone outlines warming up some grape seed oil on the oven, filtering it and reducing the concentration as a viable way to reduce the pip from all those crystals you got in you.

Ok thanks! I'll give that a read! I'm new to this site and I cant find the (chemistry section) can please tell me what it's under and give me a link to the (chemistry section)?Thanks!
 
Just because its 500 doesnt mean you have to inject 500. Split it up into two injections and im sure youd be much happier.
 
yeah as BH said, who in the hell is brewing a 500???? Im currently using a 400 right now and I get the lumps and the pain etc. I used to pinn a full ml but cut it in half not just to knock down on the pain but rather to keep better levels. Are you sure you know the right place to pin your glute? there are guides on the net. Watch going low, the sciatic is down there and you really don't want to cross that line. When I pinn or have my glutes pinned by my honey, I hit the upper outer, same place where you'd get a muscle relaxer etc. And as fancy stated, it is kind of like paranoia in the beginning. After a few more pinns you'll calm down a bit because you know what to expect. I have had great success with my quads and delts and the most soreness in the glute. I pound legs once a week and cardio light 3 times a week so I may be aggravating that glute tissue. Everyone's body is different man. You should be rotating injections spots anyway. Listen to these guys that posted on your thread bro............. Iv'e been following most of them and they have yet to be wrong or provide inaccurate advice. Sometimes with pleasure, pain is involved. You may have to man up and go with it bro. Good luck let us know what you came up with.
 
Yes man its gets better, Im in week 6 of my first test e cycle. i split it up though. 250mg / sunday and 250 mg wednesday. i belive it also keeps a more consitant level of test in your system. when i first started i was sore as hell for 4-5 days but now only like a day if i even get sore. your body will adjust. there's many factors though like, what gauge pin your using, injection technique, are you warming up the oil before ( thats realy does help ).

Yea that's the thing I did split it but its just so high of a dose per ml it hurts. lol

Yes I'll just have to man up until my body gets adapted to it and these are my first injection on this cycle so there going to hurt. I haven't shot test in like two years and should have got test e 300. lol

i'm using 23 gauge and im warming the oil by holding the vials for about 10 min. I take a hot shower before i pin and keep the muscle relaxed before I pin.
 
re-posting some good stuff from Truushot all credit for this idea to him, :-)

The issue is benzyl alcohol. It is used to keep the solution sterile in the bottle. It also helps the solvency of the carrier oil. This isn't a bad thing but boy on boy does this stuff but like a mother fucker. It causes test flu pain redness swelling.

Here is what I would do. You most likely have 1gram per 10 ml of oil/solvent. Hence 100mg/ml.

Go to a store but some grape seed oil. The high beat kind. Split your gear into 2 vials. 5ml's per bottle. Next take your oil and put it in the oven with the top off or in a dish which you have wiped down with alcohol and let air dry. Set your oven to 175 degrees and leave the oil in there for about an hour. Let it air cool.

If you have a syringe filter filter about 5.5 ml into each bottle of the existing gear. Reme er you leave about .5 ml of oil in the filter.

You now have 50 mg/ml test prop that won't hurt a bit. If the stuff doesn't mix perfect run it under hot water and shake it up.

If you don't have a syringe filter I would t worry about it. I do t usually use one anyway. I have never gotten an infection either in over 500 injections.

This will work I promise. Good luck!"
 
Had the same problem. was using 23g and was sore as hell for 4-5 days. grabbed some 25g and its painless now. im on my 6th week of my first cycle
 
Try and put the vial in a zip lock bag and set the bag in warm water. I heard this is supposed to help. I just did my first pin yesterday and hurt very little and zero pip today. It is also important to make sure when you pin that you do not tense up your muscle at all. Make sure it is totally 100% relaxed the whole time. After you finish do not push out it real hard and rub it really hard just lightly massage/rub it.
