Finally hit my triceps last night. 0.75 ml/Prop w/25GA x 1". Had trouble getting pin in far enough, I now have some major swelling/pooling on the outer head. Should I use ice or heat to get it to go down? I found the tri harder to penetrate than the pec. Won't be doing that again. Also, went from 40mg to 50mg/day of Anavar starting last week. There is seriously a big difference for me, wow.

i usually heat right after i inject .... try warming up the gear b4 u inject
ice 20 on & 20 off to reduce swelling!!!
use heat bro
heat.....then ice is what my P.therapist tells me for swelling...soo are you saying your not gonna do another tri-injection?
Hell no, I will stick with my 6 sites. I got some antibiotics, cleared it up. It got red and swollen, warm to the touch. Tri injects suck, IMO of course.Quote:

sexykitty is right.
ice for 20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling. Heat will increase swelling since it attracts fluid to the site, so DON'T do that.
Ice only. Ice will also help with pain as it slows nerve conduction of sensory neurons.
Thanks all. SexyKitty, nice avatar.

yah ice is good only to slow and decrease swelling like when u get a bruise or so. It is best used when the injury occurs though, so right now if it is as swollen as its going to get. Its just going to help with the pain. Definately no heat.
