    Testosterone injection question!

    i read about how and where to inject, but what i like to know is why does it have to be in the muscle and not in the fat? what happens if one injects in the fat accidentally? also like to know what happens if the injection goes right into the veins?

    Well if you inject into the fat it will just be absorbed slower.Now if you inject into a vein you could have serios problems.Thats why we asperate.

    You will suddenly be overcome by a choking/coughing/weight on your chest, you may or may not black out, tunnel vision. It is really unpleasant, but passes quickly, full recovery 12 hours.

    As stated above this is what happens, the cause of this is that the oil (even a small amount) will form microembolisms in the lungs this will lead to the sudden onset non-productive cough. Larger amounts this can be very serious (although death is very rare) as the circulatory system will have a really hard time dealing with getting rid of all the oil, this can cause pneumonia, with hospitalization for a couple of weeks. The funny thing is that the treatment for severe accidental IV injestion of vegtable oils is steroids LOL

    You would know if you injected nto a vien. That is why you should inject slowly because the lungs are the first to get it. You will start coughing and feel like you are going to die but you won't.

    Oh, and the main reason why we don't usually pin AAS sub-Q (into the fat) is because it won't absorb fast enough and crash, causing a bunch of pain, swelling, and bruising. Very small amounts of AAS can be pinned Sub-Q (this has been done successfully with HRT patients), but for anything over ~.5mls you'll definitely want to go IM.
