advice on injection sites and soreness
okay guys, I talked to a very good friend of mine who is a BB, and he has alot of experience with injection sites. I told him about the soreness I was having from my sus shots, and he gave me some advice and low and behold it worked wonderfully. And I thought I would share some of it with you all.
Okay first off, he said, massage massage massage.
I was sore for three days, and on day three he told me to massage the area twice a day if not more. The best time iafter a shower.
He instructed me to press on the Knot or sore area and push the length of the muscle. He explained that this allows the blood to flow back into the muscle and releave soreness. It hurt like hell, but I did it and my gosh it worked. I did it right after a shower, and my soreness is almost gone and I had been suffering for three days now.
Massage the area after inject, (which I did), he said but more importantly, massage every day, until soreness goes away. He said in the morning after a shower and evening after a bath/shower. Muscle is the most relaxed and great time to get the blood flowing thru it. Heating pad and ice are good he says too, he has tried them and they work great. I didn't even need the ice or heat pad, just the massage after the shower, a good deep massage, pressing the knot down towards the muslce, worked great for me.
My point is, massage the area even if it hurts. The idea is to get the blood flowing into the muscle, that is what heals the soreness. "It is just like a pulled muscle", he explained. You have a "substance" in the muscle that is interferring with the blood flow. The idea is to get the blood flow back into the muscle, to relieve soreness. This made sense to me, cause that is how pullled or knotted muscles are healed is to get blood flowing back into the muscle. (1 year of SPorts medicine in college) did me some good I guess.
Oh well, sorry to be so long, but thought i would share this with all of you, who are having problems with soreness from Injects.
Good luck..
