Im wondering how long prop hurts for? My friend said it hurts for a few days, is this true? and do you ever really get used to it to where it doesnt hurt for a couple of days? Because prop is used EOD, so if it hurts for a few days you would be sore all over. is this the price that has to be paid?

In my experience, prop usually hurts for the first week or two. After that, you may feel some discomfort at the injection site, but it won't be naerly as bad as it is in the beginning. Stick with it, it'll get better.

Rock on, cause it hurts to walk up and down stairs... and it was one CC in my leg... and tomm is another in the other leg. Thanks moto!

yeah i was like a crippled boy tryin to move the first week or so on my prop cycle. but it goes away soon and then the shots are all painless. a heat pad seemed to work well for my leg. also helps if you stretch a bit.
shanghi is killin me. shot a cc into my calve...can't walk for 3 days, never again..
I shot yesterday 3cc into my quad and it feels great... it was 1cc of prop, 1cc of cyp, 1cc of eq...
i just got finished with prop. EOD shots. Didnt hurt one bit for me the whole time. Twards the end though, i felt like a pin cusion.
i've shot prop many times, always ed, and it has always hurt....but not unbearable like nowQuote:

As far as comfort is concernd, where do yall inject the prop with less pain?? Im planning on doing both legs, both sides of my ass, and both shoulders and rotate them out. Any one have a better idea?
MS
prop for less pain= quads
crap, so shoulders is a bad idea? or do you think i should see how i respond to injecting into the shoulders?
definitely see how you respond.....the pin itself going into your delt will hurt....the prop will light your delt on fire.....use 25 guage for deltsQuote:

inject right after a hot shower. always seems to help. i like to mix a small amount of 50mg/ml EQ with it too. never had any real probs aftr the first time
first 2-3 weeks was hellish, sorness from a single injection lasted 4-7 days. now my injections don't hurt at all (practially).

everyone is different...i love injecting into delts and i find 23g to be perfectly adequate. the pin going in doesn't hurt nearly as much as going into your quads...but thats just my opinion.Quote:

im currently on 200mg prop and for me quads were the worse for pain ive done delts traps bis tris quads all with 23g least pain was in delts they dont even hurt anymore. Bis i couldnt even extend my arm all the way, tris not that bad, traps hurt like a bitch. I dont use any heat pads or anything. but im sure that would help.
glad i could help. dont like pain? stay away from your traps. lats were ok for me, then glutes, and bicep were painless too.Quote:

Bies dont bruise or scare, but u cant use the cunts.!
Try the calves.... Hehehe, and here I am just finally got an incredibly swollen foot from trying to inject 1.5 CC's last week into a calve to finally return to normal after 6 days of intense swelling.Quote:

I am glad because another week with the other foot swollen would have probably cut my cycle 3-4 weeks short of what I had planned.
LOL I just got done with my shot again tonight. But in the other leg. So we shall see. And I have a crap load of these toe warmer things for skiing, I am going to place one of those on my leg with an ace bandage at night and see if that will help.
Mental note, never inject into traps! haha it never even crossed my mind.
Thanks again fellas
MS
Ouch... been there and done that with the calve... I think even 1 CC of anything is rough on the calve.... seems like the easiest place, no nerves to hit, have basically the entire back of leg to shot, all of its a good spot but man can that bitch hurt like a mother funker. I gave myself a test shot a week earlier on other calve with 0.75 CC and it was painless, did the other calve at 1.5 CC and WOW was that a mistake. Swelling migrated all the way down into the foot, swollen so bad couldnt see ankle bone from either side and puffy all the way down to the toes. This was with Shanghai Test Enanthate.Quote:

ohh and there is no way ill do my calves..... yet :wg:
hehe
I have 300 mg homemade prop. and 300 mg homemade deca, I just started and I shot my delt before my quad cause i was afraid of the pain in the leg, I do a half cc of each eod....and the pain in the delt was bearable, went away in a day or 2...didnt make it to the quad yet, heard that was worseQuote:

Question is. Could you use an arthritis cream or icyhot or bengay to do the same thing w/ the circulation at the injection spot? Just a thought that could work
