Injection soreness due to drug volume injected or from needle?

[Mike Dura]

This may seem like a no brainer for some of you but I just wanted to confirm my suspician that it's due to drug volume. If that's the case, it would seem that you can do multiple injections (left and right glute, shoulder, quad) to work around that. After all, one must do legs with equanimity and peace!
Peace!

it could be volume or maybe scar tissue build up which could make the injections more painful. I would suggest pushing the plunger real slow and give the muscle a good rub down in the shower afterwards. If pain still continues, then I would split it up.

Suck it up Dura. You are being a pussy.

It will hurt the first few times, then it won't. Glutes can handle 3 cc at once, per side, quads 2cc.

i hit 4cc in my glutes twice weekly and split 6cc throughout the week between my delts and quads and the pain if any is no different at all........

i say both!

just give the area a good massage then jump in a hot bath for a soak....works well for me

You fellows are great-Ive learned A LOT!!!

I would say volume, and I would always switch injection sites and spots. Also, 4 cc's in the glutes or too much volume in one injection is never good. This can cause an absess and possible infection. If you dont like hitting your traps, delts, or lats due to soreness. Then inject in your quads using all 3 spots with 1 cc per shot in lower mid and top. Then use the glutes and massage the fuq out of the injection area.

Could be the gear itself. Some causes no lumps or soreness. Like this cyp Im on right now, I never have to heat it up after, I never get lumps from this.

Hey man...someone had to say it! On the other hand, if one can avoid needle pain than why not. I hate needle pain/soreness. I can just imagine a shot of test prop (which I want to do but seeing that I am a baby this way.....I'll learn to deal with it I guess). After all, I want to be a freak!

DO NOT MASSAGE A FRESH OIL INJECTION! This is horrible advice!

massaging the area of a shot immediately afterwards WILL drive the depot out of the area into places you don't want it. increasing the chance that you will develop pain or an abcess.

what you can do is use pressure if you need to stop bleeding, but never rub it. the z track method will usually make it so you don't need compression to stem the blood flow.

the only time you should be applying heat is if the depot has crashed and you're sure of that. if it's an abcess using heat will only make it worse, use ice and get it drained asap, also take a broad spectrum antibiotic. sepsis is not a laughing matter.
