28 gauge? what are you shooting winny? I would have a hell of a time shooting deca or test thru a 28. I normally stick with 25 gauge myself in the delts. You can use 5/8" too.
I have a few questions to try to help you with your problem, first off are you slowly injecting the pin in? This tends to sting more, just jab that thing in. I sometimes take the needle like a dart and stab it in my skin. I have noticed that when I slowly put the needle in, one of two things happen. It stings like a mofo, or my muscle tends to start spasming, causing my injection site to hurt for a few days. SO I just tkae the needle and stick it in.
You could possiblity be developing scar tissue, what part of the delt are you shooting? I usually try to shoot the rear delt more so, this tends to nto hurt as much.

I hope this is a stupid question but you're changing the needle after you draw right? its amazing how much they can dull from just one use...

Mike what are you pushing though that 28 gauge.... I have a hard enough time injecting with a 25 gauge with oils...

Only oil I've shot that flows real easy is Testex because it's so thin... Anything else takes some serious pushing with a 25 gauge for me...

hey bro,
you also might want to try to let just a drop of the liquid youre injecting drop down the length of the pin before you shoot. this tends to lubricate the needle, and it slides in much easier.
