Hey guys, I just got a phone call from a bro of mine asking me about injection site pain. I could not answer his question and could only speculate as I have never experienced such a thing.
So he explains to me he shot 2cc's in one of his pectoralis major muscles. 1mL prop and 1mL tren ace. He used a 25g 5/8in pin. Immediately after the injection there was a strong strong pain that felt like a burning sensation (he explains it is similar to the pain you get when doing a sub-q shot of HCG...except far more painful). He is no newb to steroids and has been using them for longer than I, and actually taught me quite a bit. That being said we can rule out forgetting to aspirate, we can rule out general injection pain, can rule out prop pain (he has run it previously), and also rule out bad gear (He has been running this stuff for quite some time and in fact I use the same brand). He pretty much cant even put his shirt on because the contact with his chest is burtally painful.
I said that possibly he shot into just subcutaneous tissue, and didnt reach the muscle. But as I have never done this myself I cant even guarantee that would be painful.
Any thoughts out there, similar experiences, recommendations? Thanks.
