Hey everyone, I did my first injection on Monday at roughly 7pm of sust 250.
Very careful with sterilization of injection site ect. I had no pain upon injection other than just the needle going in. Injected in my right quad .5cc and had no issues. At roughly 4am I wokeup and noticed tenderness around the skin but nothing bad. By that night I was barely able to walk let alone do a squat. Took a super hot bath that night and it helped quite a bit. This morning pain wasn't quite as bad as Tuesday night. However there is redness around injection site for roughly 1.5 inches on each side. No obvious swelling. Just what you would expect from a first injection. My main question is, can someone let me know maybe where I went wrong? Did I maybe inject too low into my quad? I know sust is supposed to be painful but it seems ridiculous haha. Also does redness like in the attached picture indicate infection? Thanks guys.
