Lesson Learned....

[HashMan]

I'm about 4 shots into my first test cycle and I learned a valuble lesson with this last shot.

Do Not Rush Injections!! I was nearly crippled for 3 days, this means no work out because I couldnt move. I had problems laying down....
I began thinking damn if every shot is going to be like this then I dont think I want to do this anymore.

Well for my last shot I had my wife give it to me, I was reading to inject slowly and you get less pain, well my wife did a very slow injection, it took a little more discomfort at the time of injection, but Im not even sore now!! Im finding myself anticipating my next shot LOL...

Let the oil dissipate when injecting by going slowly, it does help. If you go too quickly it can cause an abcess.

Best bet is too listen to your body. Your body will typically let you know if your going too fast. Let it take as long as it needs for the muscle to absorb the injection. Don't rush it!

I used 25ga this last cycle. It took forever to draw and shoot but it kept me from trying to rush the injection.

Draw with a 20-21g, shoot with a 23-25g. Slower injections lead to less scar tissue and greatly decrease the chances of a sterile abcess. Especially when you are shooting >2cc.

I thought i'd got away with only minimum post injection pain after about 24 hours.... but then it peaked about 48 hours and my ass had the familiar crippling pain of my first cycle for another 3 days or so.

I think its just the way my body reacts to gear, cos my injections are really slow, like 3 or 4 minutes for 2ml.

I had the exact same problem with test e, cut it 1:1(so instead of a 2cc shot it will be 4cc which you may need to split into 2 sites) with sterile grapeseed oil and it will make the injections painless I swear. Your injection time is not the problem it is a high concentration of BA in your test.

Take your time to rub it in really well. The more it dissipates the less pain.

I have pinned in a hurry also before... hurts.

Gator,
This depends on the type of injection. Sometimes rubbing can cause more pain.

Can always put a heating pad on it.
