I doubt that it has much to do with needle size.
What did you inject? What Gauge did you use and how much did you inject? so far, what you're describing sounds relatively normal to me
125 mg prop.. used a 20g needle (ouch i know)
also i warmed up the vial, as well as massaged injection site... night and day from doing it in my quads.
20G... you're crazy :lol:
Is it just a lump under the skin or is it read and warm/hot to touch?
just a lump..Quote:

yes first time, quads were killing me had to switch it up.. itQuote:

You're probably fine... just watch it for the next few days, to see if it gets red or warm.Quote:

I remember the first time I injected my glutes. I had a 10 hour car ride the day after and it hurt like hell to sit lol.
I'm running prop right now but my gear is scary smooth compared to what I hear from others. Like I said, you'll be fine.... just keep an eye on it.
I must say Stack it... you gave some quality advice.... as always my friend :D
i was told to use a shorter needle on delts.. is there a reason for this? besides maybe coming to close to the bone? if that does happen.. what are the negative effects?
wish i had your gear.. mines some homebrewed stuff.. quad injections were relentlessQuote:
