Test Flu?

[rbfallon]

I have been on a TRT dose of 250mgs of Test E every 10 days for about 6 months now. I usually shoot in the glute, but decided to shoot in my thigh Thursday night.

I used a 1 1/2 inch needle and went all the way in which I realized was my first mistake, I should have used a 1 inch needle.

I can barely walk, no shit. Today it feels like I broke my leg. And my body is literally ill, I ache and generally feel like shit.

I thought Test Flu was from the body not being use to the high test levels and was only something people got when they first started using?

Is it because I shot in virgin muscle, or did I go to deep in to the muscle, or?

Thanks for any insight here.

Bro..its hard to say......maybe you hit a nerve....the fact you feel sick isn't because you shot your quad...maybe you are just getting sick...it IS flu season after all....if you're not better in a week go see your doctor.

i get the same feeling sometimes. i made a thread about it too.

My first thing after shooting is grabbing tylenols and ibuprofins, you can "Stack" them together and it does a wonderful thing! I get the "test flu" after just about every shot, and a swollen ass check that hurts like none other for about 4-5 days. No its not infection, my body hates test and BA in general

Well AugsLars12, I did exactly the same thing with my 1st ever jab a week ago, and my leg is still very sore now. I shot 1cc of Susutanon250 into my right thigh using a 1 1/2 inch pin, and the next day I could barely walk. I've been limping about most of the week, and have only really been able to walk without an obvious' limp the last 1-2 days. The only thing I can't relate to is your feeling of sickness. So maybe it's two seperate things here; i.e. the test causing the sickness (test flu) & the deep thigh jab causing the intense pain, as in my case!?

Pasting this from my recent thread, hope it might help with next jab...

Okay, well this is just a quick follow-up post to let y'all know how my 2nd (ever) jab went, in respect to the 1st one a week ago, which as we all know from my incecent bitchin', was bloody painful in the days following (and still is!)!

Well, the 2nd jab was awesome,- as good as sticking a long sharp piece of metal into you can get! It's 36hrs post-jab now, and I'm in absolutely no discomfort what-so-ever, in fact, I have to 'poke' the area to check where I injected!!?

Here's a run down of the exact proceedure I used....

1. Always use a clean, organised, and sterile set-up.
2. Use a 23G 1 1/2 Inch needle for Gluteal Injections.
3. Use a 23-25G 1 - 1 1/4 Inch needle for Quad & Deltoid Injections.
4. Warm the Ampoule in 'hot' water for few mins prior to injection.
5. Score the neck of the Ampoule with a metal file, to ease opening.
6. Use one needle to draw the oil into the syringe & a 2nd needle to inject.
7. Swab chosen injection area with an Alcohol wipe.
8. Inject area at a 90 degree angle, and swiftly i.e. with a 'darting' motion.
9. Aspirate !!! - Pull back plunger approx ¼ ml. (Abort jab if blood is drawn!)
10. Inject 'very slowly',- the slower the better. 15-30 secs per ml.
11. Wait 10 secs before removing needle.
12. Swab area with alcohol wipe.
13. Massage area firmly for 30 secs or so.
14. Apply a heat pad / Hot Water Bottle.
15. Exercise soon after to increase blood flow to the area.

...If anyone thinks I'm overcomplicating a relatively simple proceedure they're of course entitled to they're own opinion. However, for me personally the difference a few 'extra steps' have made to post-injection pain/discomfort (or lack thereof in my case!), would appear to make it all very well worthwhile. I highly recommend the above proceedure to anyone who is particularly sensitive to post-injection pain.
