Test + soreness

**ZIA1** · 05-29-2006, 02:25 PM

How long can soreness, from a glute shot, last? My ass is sore...a bit of a lump. However, there is no redness, no fever, nothing...just feels like I got hit in the ass. I think the lump is just from swelling. Thoughts? I've been sore for 24 hours now.

I did use a heating pad following the shot but I didn't massage and I didn't take a hot shower before.

So, a lump with no redness and/or other features is probably just soreness? Anything I can do for it in the meantime?

virgin muscles AIZ?

By the way, do you just lightly and slowly insert the pin or do you do it quickly...with one good but light stab?

You can continue to apply heat and still massage the area. Heat for about 15-20 min at a time.
As Booz stated, if it is a virgin muscle (one that hasn't been injected before) it will take a litle time for it to get used to being stuck! Keep rotating sites
I insert slow and inject even slower, but that may just be me!

Thanks. No, its not a virgin muscle. Its my 2nd cycle but every now and then I get damn sore and it makes me worry a bit. Still trying to get used to it.

Shit, I think that's one of my mistakes. I give it a nice quick insert with one swing of the bat.

I didn't know that one should inject the pin slowly into the muscle. I thought that might actually cause more soreness

I feel if you just jab it quickly, you are more likely to move the needle around a bit before it settles which would definetly cause pain. Try it nice and slow after muscle is warmed, then do the usual followup with heat and massage and let us know if it gets any better.

Good Luck

Took a steaming shower this morning and hit the other glute. I slowly inserted, without moving the pin around much. Worked well! Followed up with massage and heating pad and I feel good so far. Thanks for the advice.

Is it the same with delts?

YES AIZ, I would use this process with any muscle I inject. especially the massage part to help disperse the compound. Glad its helping!

i assume your doing it EOD and your rotating injection spots? quads, glutes, delts.....

try cutting it with some bast water, or injectable b-12. that usually helps. prop is notoroius for huting bro. kind of have to deal with it.....
