Shot hurt like hell now, why?

No real answer my wife (nurse) says the needles seem harder to push, but idk. All I know is it burns like a son of gun the minute the needle goes in during the whole injection feels like liquid fire.

I've been on TRT for 5 months and have never felt this type of pain usually I barely feel it. This has happened in the shoulder and both buttocks, so the last 3 shots. The testosterone is prescription grade.

Any thoughts? Bad batch of needles?
 
Are you injecting to soon after the alcohol swab? If the alcohol isn't given enough time to dry it can certainly sting.
 
I don't think my wife is bringing me a syringe/needle combo from work if it hurts well then IDK, but I'll be mindful to make sure I wait. I'm waiting at least a minute, but who knows ;)

Thx
 
Could be a bad batch of needles. I have found some occasionally that seem to rip through your skin and muscle as they go in. You could be hitting nerves or blood vessels too.

If you aren't doing it already, you could try the push method instead of the jab method. That would allow you to stop and try a new spot if it starts hurting again. And you might want to try pinning yourself so you have more control.
 
What size needle are you using, where are you injecting, how often and are you using the same needle to draw from your vial with?

Yes, I have occasionally had a bad needle here and there, slightly bent or with a dull tip, could be heat that warps them sometimes when being stored.
 
Left shoulde felt like fire, left buttox fire, and right buttox fire again. I'm hoping it's just needles.

25g
 
You're not tensing the muscle are you? I barely ever feel, infact I never have painful shoulder/glute shots...

Try a different spot, quads?

If the glutes and shoulders shots give the same feeling i doub that other spot could make any good.
Are you sure your gear is adequate and the shots are done properly?
 
Hello,
Is your wife aspirating? It may be scar tissue as it is much harder to push the needle through scar tissue and aspirating will reveal if it is or not because it will be difficult to pull back.
 
Waiting for my next shot .....I really want to do subcutaneous just haven't gotten the balls to do it yet. My wife doesn't aspirate, but then neither did I when I gave them to myself, it's just the all of the sudden fire water type of pain in all 3 injection sites that seems weird.
 
Use an insulin syringe for the subQ injection. Backload the insulin syringe using your standard 23g syringe, then warm the barrel with hot water and the oil will pass through the pin easier.

You should ALWAYS aspirate to check if you're in a blood vessel. You should inform your wife of this as well, since she is probably giving shots at work to other people...
 
Nurses do not aspirate because they have been trained on where to inject and avoid blood vessels due to anatomical knowledge. For Self-injects it would be recommended to always aspirate.
 
Did you switch T's lately.. one time I had the same thing when switching from Test Cyp to Enanthate. Burned like hell with all other factors being the same.. Change one thing at a time until you figure it out.. For me it was pinned left quad, bigtime pain.. pinned right quad next week, bigtime pain, pinned butt the next week, couldn't sit on that cheek.. lol.. changed T, all was good again.. Crazy but it happens.

I don't believe this. there is blood vessels EVERYWHERE. Now there is major veins and and arteries, but vessels are everywhere...even nurses should aspirate all the time.
 
It was the needle. I used a new syringe 25g combo that my wife brought me and felt practically nothing. The needles I bought onlin "Temuro" must have been a bad batch I've used 3 and all hurt like liguid fire!

As someone esle said my wife gives thousands of shots a year and thousands of blood draws........she laughs when I get all worried about aspirating.
