Soreness Next Day Post Injection - Any other tips?

[Takeo5]

Hey guys,

I've read a few threads to see what y'all are doing to help subside swelling after injection. I always inject the glutes. Before injecting, I would foam roll and apply a heating pad post injection. The first two injections seemed alright, but since then my arsenal swells up like a balloon and is hard as a rock. Some people say the Test is crap, or it's because my body still hasn't gotten used to it. Either way, I need to figure out a solution. It's literally a real pain in the ass to sit or lay down. On one occasion I tried getting in a leg workout to see if it would be okay. Well, I can tell you that my cheek was not pleased the next day. A buddy of mine who's a bodybuilder doesn't get this problem, so your advice would be appreciated. In the mean time I'll do more research. This is my second cycle in a year. I need to get this together. Thanks in advance.

best thing to do is rotate injection sites as often as you can . so start pinning your quads, lats, delts, so your ass has time to heal up. the new injection sites will hurt as well , but will eventually get used to it and will be no big deal

If you didn't have this problem on your first cycle and you are doing the same things, I would say it the gear. I don't understand why you are doing anything pre-injection or post.

Is it the same gear as to what you didn't have problems with. Is it a blend what is it

My first ever cycle I was on 250mg test E. Dealt with a lot of swelling each time post injection. I should also mention I haven't begun the second cycle yet. This time around I'm using a different lab. Anyways, I read a lot of guys would foam roll and/or apply heat after the injection to alleviate harsher swelling. Also, my job requires a lot of labor, so it's better if I switch off each glute. Don't want to inject shoulders. Can't take that chance. I did try the quads before, but that sh!t left my leg dead for a few days. Trying to nail down this trial and error so there's no more swelling. I've been researching this other lab is supposed to be a lot better. Gonna find out soon enough

Try ventroglutes. One of my favorite spots. You really should have at least 4 injection sites.

Delts are my favorite by the way. I have never had a single issue pinning there.

Quads have a lot of veins, u probs nicked a vein or hit a nerve
reason why i dont do my quads
Try other sites, if running long esters u only have to pin twice a week anyways
try delts, glutes and rotate and u should be fine
u are doing to much for injection u shouldn't have to use a foam roller pre injection lol
and also make sure your not skakey with the syringe when in the muscle could be due to that as well

I bleed a lot with quads and get sore sometimes so I don't do them much at all. I've gotten real sore with my glutes but I was injecting ED and sometime twice. I sometimes draw blood in my glutes, not often.

I never have had s problem with my Delts. Only if I don't stay still I get sore after but nothing to keep me from movement or working out.

As Matt said many blood vessels and nerves in quads
As Meg said the ventroglutes are good. Myself I have a hard time getting it correct in there. When I did it was a great place. I didn't feel anything and no blood.

u can get some sterile oil and mix injections with say 1ml of the oil . itll help the post injection pain a tonne
