Propionate abcess.

[Grand Daddy]

I just took a shot of propionate in my shoulder on Wednesday and yesterday I noticed that on the bottom of my shoulder and where my bicep starts I have a hard lump and it is a little red and swollen. I am always careful to use sanitary injection procedures. Is this common with prop when taken in the delts. How long until this goes away.

prop can be painful and cause some issues like yours. probably go away in a week or less, but it is always possible it could get worse and turn into an absess. is it hot to the touch?

No, it is not hot to the touch. It actually feels like it is getting better already. Just finished training shoulders about 2 hours ago.

The sweet smell is benzyl benzoate, its very fragrant.

i am never touching prop again. this cycle i have lifted about 2 days a week for 10 weeks if i was lucky. the pain was unbearable anywhere i injected. i gained some nice size and strength but i could have had better gains if i could actually lift more.

Don't inject in the shoulders anymore. Delts can be problematic in the long run for many.

the pain that u get from prop. is it from shooting too often while sore or is it that the prop it self burns when it's in u?? i shot up last night and my ass feels like i hit a few sets of one leg squats ....

i have never heard anybody ask that before? does it matter how you inject?
i usually inject very slowly and stop every 1/2 mL, wait 5 sec to "let the compound move away from injection site" and then re-aspirate . i have accidentally moved the needle mid inject before and hit a vein, which is why i re aspirate every so often.

as far as waiting to let the oil relocate, i have no idea where i get this from, just part of my ritual i guess.

After the inital asperation if theres no blood just pump it in at a steady speed, anyways this is my first time shooting up prop and my ass was really sore yesterday not as bad today i hope it goes away soon other wise im just going to stick with every third day differnt cheek .. around 150mg each shot so it could mabe make up for not doing it EOD...
