Post injection pain/Swelling

[Alang22]

Hey guys...today is Thursday and I pinned my first CC of Test E 300mg/ml.. I had my buddy inject it into my left glute. Everything was sterile, the needle, wiped off the vial with alcohol pads as well as the injection spot. Drew with a 22g and pinned with a 25g. While the needle was inserted, he lost his balance on the wall he was using to brace himself and needle moved around a bit. Then he aspirated and injected the Test e. It's been 2 days since the injection and my glute is sore as hell, beyond belief, as well as being pretty swollen. Yesterday was a lot worse pain-wise and it seems the swelling has wnt down a tad. Very minute. I started taking antibiotics, cephalexin (keflex), in case of infection, 4/day since yesterday as well as switching between ice and heating pad and massaging it (hard to massage, hurts like hell). Do you guys have any advice or suggestions? Should I just continue with what I've been doing? As it seems it might be working. Could it just be from his poor injection technique and the needle moving around a decent amount? There wa a little blood coming out of the spot where the needle was when he pulled it out so I wiped it off with alcohol pad twice and it stopped. It still hurts but not near as bad as yesterday. Could it also probably be because of the high amount of test e? 300. Or a combination of all the reasons I described? Also there's no redness, spongy-feeling or anything like that. Just decent swelling and PIP. By the way, this is the 1st injection of my first cycle.

What was the length of the needle? And how are you going about finding the correct spot to inject via glutes? This could be due to "virgin muscles". The first few times pinning are going to be sore, but you get used to it.

I would say it because of the jerking of the needle, needles are quite sharp and can cut if moved around. The first injection I did was in my quad and the post injection soreness was bad, I couldn't feel my quad or even flex my leg, it lasted 4 days. Since then, I only do glutes and have no problems. I get "the egg" for 2 days after the injection but there is no actual pain.

Just make sure it does not change colors or temperature and it should be fine in a couple of days. Also, make sure to use the upper outter quadrant.

Good luck, bro

What brand gear are you running ?

This^^

Keep the site injections in rotation as well. I'm not a big quad fan, so I map my injections out like this....

Right Cheek
Right Delt
Left Delt
Left Cheek

And then repeat....I find the delts to be super easy. Once the "virgin" aspect of it dissipates, this injection is virtually painless and very easy to maneuver.

If it was any type of infection it would inflame, become red and you would have a fever. I agree it could be the sloppy pin technique paired with "virgin" muscles. Be sure to message it for a few minutes right after injecting.

Been popping ibuprofen and cephalexin like candy. I really hope shit doesn't get infected. Swelling has gone down a little bit, pain has as well. Worked lower body out hard as hell yesterday in an attempt to get some blood flowing to loosen it up. I can't tell if it's bruised underneath or red, just a light off-colored different color other than my skin. I'm assuming it's bruising because of the blood that I saw after the injection. You have any estimates on when this may subside? This'll be 72 hours coming up in about 8-9 hours.

If you have any signs of infection (redness, fever, severe swelling, itching) you should go to your doctor right away.

my guess allergic to that gear

 

[jdavis1]

oh yeah i bet allergic to gear. week you be ok

 

[supersetter]

been there allergic reaction sell gear

Im on my 5th injection of test e and so far every injection has been just as you describe pain wise: very tender, swollen under the fat layer. They've all lasted that way at least 3-5 days. Man up!
But seriously, take hot bath and massage it a bit each day. Also helps if the oil isn't cold and you massage the injection site well after injecting. Keeping the needle straight and steady is very important too. Mostly I chalk it up to virgin muscles.

I'm going to test my glutes again next week and hopefully the pip will be way better this time around.

Thought it was kinda strange no one through out that it may be the gear crashing- hormone falling out of suspension... Has happened to me plenty of times..

You can figure out if you're really allergic, or if its the gear falling out of suspension by getting some sterile oil and diluting the gear at like a 2-1, so basically add 2 ml's of sterile oil to your 1ml of gear.. if this helps, then it means the gear wasnt made well and they should have used more Benzyl Benzoate or that it was overdosed ...

If this does not help, then likely you're allergic to it, could be the oil carrier or the inclusion of Ethyl Oleate ...

Just look up the proper way to cut your gear, meaning the right oils and the right filter... I always have 100mls of sterile cotten seed oil and some BB as well BA...

I have been running DHB Cypionate and it's notorious for crashing, so I just make a 50 ml vial of oil, with 20% BB and 2% BA.. and for every 1ml of DHB CYP i run i draw and extra ml' of oil- Never any PIP

My first injection I didn't have any pip, nor the next 5 or 6. I got a little sore the last injection, but it was due to me hitting a nerve or something, I felt it jerk when i pushed the pin through it. I don't know about gear crashing, luckily I didn't have that problem. I'm sure every UGL screws up every now and then. But if I was you, even if you cut it this time, I'd find a new lab before running another cycle.
I put my vial under hot water for about a minute before drawing. I draw and inject with a 25g pin. I do R Glute on Sunday L Glute on Wednesday. I just upped dose from 250 to 500 split in 2 injections. This is that Asia Pharma Test-e I'm running. It seems legit I have noticed strength gains but no bloating. I have some acne in diff places, RAPID facial hair growth, I mean I can watch that shit grow. I'm not gonna hijack your thread, I'll start my own. But on a real note, you need to figure out what is causing that maybe do 1 more pin in the other glute, and make sure someone knows what they are doing. I let my cousin do my 1st injection he did fine, but i've done every one since then. I'm never that damn steady but I'm still not getting any PIP, so i think it could be the gear crashing like someone above said.... That'd suck....
