pain in the ass

[hkntbro]

ok so im on TRT for 1 year now
injecting 250mg testosterone weekly
one week left buttocks next right and again....
since month and a half im experiencing huge pain when im trying in the right buttocks, feels like inside it has a big balloon and simply the needle cannot go through it, and it hurts alot.......
that was only on the right side.. until now.what to do now? buttocks is the easiest muscle to reach and it WAS painless...
is this common? do i have infection? why it hurts that much?

sounds like you could be building scare tissue, rotate injection sites ie glutes, quads, delts yo name a few

[Matt]

^^ Agreed, also try not to hit the exact same spot..

The upper left or right glute covers quite a large area so move it about some.....

[Hazard]

agree with the others..... i'd start hitting delts and quads for a while and give those glutes a break. Might want to massage them to try and break up that tissue....

~Haz~

yes, I agree with all the above. It's kind of strange, huh? All of the sudden you try to stab yourself with it and it doesn't go in! First time this happened to me, I considered the idea that I could be a super hero! And like Hazard said, try to break it up. All the best!

[DBolNoob]

how many injections in one spot does it usually take to develop scare tissue in general?

[Hitman Heimler]

I believe this is different for differenet individuals. I had scar tissue on my secon cycle, while making sure to rotate each time. That could have very well been from my previous medical history of injections as well. Anyone else on this?

I hit what felt like leather on my FIRST cycle in the glute, dam near bent the pin from pushing, freaky

Not to thread jack but I was doing a 8 week cycle of prop. Could I get away with just pining glutes or do I most definitely need to give them a break with eod pining???

[getrdun]

That used to happen to me a little i would have to get a tennis ball and rub it out but as others say deff. start switching areas you cant always do it in your glutes.

I wouldn't try it and your rite you did

[DBolNoob]

what do you think the likelyhood of developing scare tissue if you was to pin each glute trying to avoid the exact same spot, 10 times during a cycle? 1 glute each week.
( so first shot in week1 is in left glute and other shot in right glute )

[getrdun]

Not a high chance but when you take the shot remember remove the pin at a slower pace and then when it comes out immediately deep massage the area for 3 to 4 minutes just to make sure it doesn't ball up.

lol My bad... ...So lets say the OP was to try delts,quads, would that call for a 1 inch pin in both areas as opposed to 1.5'' in glutes???

I've been having similar problems taking my weekly glute shots. I do the right glute one week and the left side the next week (taking Deca and Test E). I closely follow the injection protocol given here on this site. However, that 1 1/2" needle is intimidating and I have an issue with coordination doing the left side injection.

I warm my juice up by placing the vials in warm water to thin the hormone. That seems to help, as it's a little difficult to squeeze 3 ml. of unheated juice through the 1 1/2" pin while reaching around to get the glute. I'll likely just get some 23ga. x 1" pins and try the delt shots, if I continue to have problems.

I have heard that if you inject too rapidly it can kinda form a a sort of air pocket within the muscle. Its ends up being almost like an abscess. I know a guy that had this happen to him and he was told by his doctor to take a hard plastic water bottle and fill it with as hot of water as he could stand and roll it back and forth on the muscle to heat it up as well as apply a good deal of pressure. He said it was probably one of the most painful things he has ever had but eventually he said he felt it pop inside his glute like a zit, once the pressure was relieved he said the pain subsided almost immediately. Of course all this was after he said he had gone like 3 days with what seemed like a painful knot in his glute after an injection.

[DBolNoob]

ouch!

yeah i plan on pinning like my right glute on a monday and my left glute on a thursday.

i just hope 10 injections in each spread over 10 weeks shouldnt cause too much trauma because im not to keen on
pinning my delts :S

[cro]

thats scarey

I hit what felt like leather on my FIRST cycle in the glute, dam near bent the pin from pushing, freaky

[hkntbro]

deep massage seems to help guys,
i actually could pin my right glute hehe, thanks for your replies

[Kouga53]

Yeah massaging after injections helps and for some changing between more than 2 site is a must.
