    injection problem

    Alright, i have been having issues just recently on my injections. i have been using 5/8 inch for delts no problem up until a week or 2 ago. no when i inject, they get very soar! i am injecting 500mg test E split up into twice a week. i rotate my spots from the thigh, delt, then left thigh and then left delt. now, also my thigh is very soar using a 1 inch needle! this is happening pretty much all the time now. you guys think i should go to a 1 inch for delts and 1 and 1/2 for thighs? im guessing htat im not going deep enough and thats why it hurts.

    If you go with the shorter pins I tend to bury 'em, but the longer ones leave a little out. But I don't know if this is your problem if this is recent occurence and you haven't had this happen in the past. But IMO 1" for quads and 5/8" for delts is plenty good enough unless you are either very fat or friggin huge.

    im not fat at all, but im not friggin huge. my buds tell me ive gotten diesal, but not like body builder big. I was just wondering bout the pin size cus the muscle could have grown????and now the pins are a little to small???? Trust me, I BURY the f*ckers in the muscle. i didnt hit any veins or nerves, but maybe i did and didnt notice. oh well. any one else?

    23g 1.5 '' is great for glutes, u can use it to thigh too, for delts/bi's/tri's/calves 25g 1.0'' is best, u can use it on thighs too...Make sure ur not moving the needle while injecting, i had some soreness too and was caused by that

    with 2x shots weekly you shouldnt be getting that sore unless you are in your first couple of weeks. only thing i can think of is you moving too much while the needle is in you, other then that dunno what to tell ya

    I agree that if the needle moves around while injecting that it can make the area a little sore, at least more sore than normal.

    Why don't you start shooting your glutes along with your delts and thighs. It will give the other sites a little more of a break, and might not be as sore.

    Sounds like your injecting too close to the same spot as injection before.

    i would go 1 inch with delts and quads. IMO 1 1/2 inch for quads is too much.

    I am, ok, im a du-mass. im still trying to figure out how far apart the injections need to be. i dont want to be too far apart from previous sites cus i dont know all the places to shoot on the quad. i did try to shoot lower, but it ended up being TOO low and my leg hurt like hell for a week.
