Hey guys, quick question. Pinned for the 1st time by myself last Monday 11/25/2013. 1 ml (250mg) Sustabolon into right glute. Used 18g needle to draw and 23g 1" to inject upper outer quadrant. Followed all hygiene precautions with alcohol swabs to the letter. Used 18g needle to draw 23g 1" to inject. Injected slowly prolly 15-20 seconds.Felt absolutely no pain from injection. Massaged the site afterward. 7 days later and it is still sore as hell. The soreness is in a knot that came up at the top of my cheek at the bottom of my back on that side.
I pinned again on Thursday 11/28/2013, this time I let my wife pin me and used 23g 1-1/2" needle. Sore for a couple of days but that was it.
What mistake did I make? Is this knot/swelling that is extremely tender cause for concern? I am do to pin that same glute tonight. (Will let my wife do it from now on with 23g 1-1/2). Should I pin my left glute again instead?
The knot at the base of my back is prolly 2 or 3 inches above injection site.
Thanks in advance for help and replies please!
 
I generally recommend that hard lumps and redness be checked by a physician after 5 days, if the swelling has not gone down.
 
dont massage spot. pressing on oil is NOT going to make it absorb, it will just cause more trauma to the surrounding tissue. Time is what it needs..
also some shots juts dont go well at times. it happens. you need more exp to know if you are doing something wrong. dont press on it, just run hot water over area if anything. IMO
 
What they said^^^ and add heat and give it time, It was 1 ml of sust first pin ever. Some labs or batch, can be more painful than others. Make sure you keep a steady hand also.
 
I really appreciate the replies. The lump really just showed up today..for the last 5 days before it was just really sore in that area. I will give it till the end of this week and just pay attention to any changes. So far I haven't noticed any redness. It's kinda like I was hit by a fast baseball there or something.
I have to pin tonight and I am really nervous about pinning anywhere but my glutes. Would it be okay to pin my left glute again? Last time was last Thursday/ Thanksgiving day.

Thanks again for everything you guys do on here. You really help a lot of people.

Also search injection sites. I find quads very easy to pin.
 
Ok...I googled sterile abscess ...scary stuff. Although my biggest objection to the definition of it is that my lump is not on the injection site. It's a good 2 or 3 inches above. It is not red nor warm to the touch. So right now I have a heat pad on it and I'm praying it goes away n the next couple days. I just don't know. I am pretty worried about it. Maybe what I learn from this could help someone else on here. Even if it turns out to be nothing.
Meanwhile...After watching 4 videos and studying several pics, I pinned my quad tonight with no problem. I guess I'll find out how well in the next couple days, lol.
 
Bro.. Years ago I was using Sustanon readijects..transferred into 23g 1in. I also had a bitch of a time with my glutes. I was in the military and had to run at least 5 miles..3 times a week, when I got my first lump on my glute. I could barely walk..nevermind run. Ever since, I've been pinning both quads and my left delt only (unsure why I never tried my right delt:confused:) and have never had an issue pinning since. Though i would recommend if you pin and your whole limb jumps, pull out and use a different limb that day. It will usually bleed like a mother f'r when this occurs...no worries.
 
Thanks bro. Yeah, I pinned my right quad last night and can't believe how much easier it was. Best part is I have absolutely NO soreness there today. Lump at bottom of my back has went down a little but still there and still feels like a bad bruise.
Only my second week of my 1st cycle and I'm feeling like a beast!
 
I spoke too quickly...quad started hurting around noon today. Feels like I've been kicked in the thigh by Anderson Silva...walking with a limp

Its because your bodys not used to it. Just rotate around sites and let them absorb the oil and go down in swelling before pinning that area again. Sust has left me sore before also, even up to a week. Just make sure your sterile

Mark the area with a pen or marker where the lump is, you will be able to tell then if the lump is getting bigger or not, I personally hate glute injections, got the same pain snd lump snd lasted for about a week before it eent away, nomore glute injects for this dude
I find my hand shakes like a bitch when I was doin glutes just tearing up thst muscle inside, probs the same happened to u bro

That was yesterday. The pain in my thigh from quad injection on Monday is really bad today (Wednesday). The pain woke me up early this morning, I could not get comfortable enough to sleep. I got up and soaked in a hot bath for about 30 mins then limped to work. Had to leave after an hour because I can hardly walk. Last night before bed I did some leg raises to work that muscle because it was suggested that would help. Im thinking that hurt me. I'm home now, going to use heat and a pain relieving gel to see if that helps.

Thanks guys for your comments, advice and replies. Sincerely appreciated. Literally have no one else to ask about these issues. So thanks so much.

My glutes do not hurt at all anymore and the lump is shrinking. It makes sense my body isn't used to this, but holy shit, I don't know I'll have the courage to ever pin a quad again!

I do have a question. After I warmed the vial Monday before injecting I shook it up. I noticed very tiny sparkles throughout the oil. I am beginning to think this was not normal and may be the reason for my pain. What do you think?
 
when I first started pinning quads I had the same problems. It goes away after a while cause you get better at pinning and the muscle gets used to it
 
My wife just pinned my left glute for me. About half -way in (1-1/2 needle 23g) my whole left ass cheek jumped and I felt a pain down my leg. I have a feeling this is going to be another horrible experience. FML I haven't been able to work legs because of PIP since I started this cycle last Monday 11/25/13.
