IM injection help

[JonnyToeva]

[/B]hey all,

had my first shot of test p/deca (1ml each) 4 days ago. i couldnt walk for an entire day after the injection and was limping for the next 2 days. had my last shot in my glutes on friday. still feel some pain when i sit or bend down/up.

any tips of how to reduce the pain? i have not trained legs or core for an entire week due to the setback.

there are lots of threads on how to reduce injection pain. But i'll go ahead and repeat most of whats been said before.

A thorough massage of the area after, Deep tissue, Gotta do it hard for 5 minutes or so
Inject slowly. a good 15 or 20 seconds per ML u inject to fast you tear tissue and cause bruising
Cut your gear with sterile cottonseed or grapeseed oil. 1:1
Work that muscle right after you're done massaging it. If you're doing glutes then maybe some stiff legged dead lifts or even a quick uphill jog to help dispurse the oil
Ibuprofen 800mg the following morning to reduce inflamation
Heating your gear up to body temperature before injecting but letting it sit under running hot water
Sleep with heat on the injection site


There are probably a few i left out but you can use the search button and find this same advice about 1000times on here.

lifesaver! i think now i know what i probably done wrong. i massaged the muscle thouroughly but i dont excersize it straight away because i always sleep. i take my injections before i nodd off for the night!

One other thing to add, make sure you are injecting the steroids deep into the muscle in question. This will vary by injection site and individual physique but as an example glutes are hit to a depth of ( at least 1.25" -1.5" more common) if you only insert the needle 3/4 of an inch (in the glute) this is a sure way to screw up the shot.

Although I agree with your analysis, injecting and sleeping afterward can't be a good thing, good thing it was not tren the dreams and nightmares would be intolerable.

Make sure the volume of the injection is suitable for the muscle you are pinning in.

[Bonaparte]

What is the concentration of each?
What size pin are you using?
And don't massage the depot. That's a terrible idea. If done immediately, it just forces more of the oil up into the Sub-Q layers. If done later, it just adds trauma to the area. The most painful injection I've ever had was when I used a muscle roller on a quad shot of prop the next day. HOLY SHIT...

[JonnyToeva]

what if i split my dosage to different areas? 1 ml of test in one quad and 1ml of deca in another?
