Hi there,

First off I have been running cycles for 2 years now. I have stuck with running just test e. I pin in the glutes and have never had any issues. Have always used a 22g x 1" pin. The only thing I have switched up now is these pins are 1.5" and I don't believe that should affect this that much . When I pin now the area gets bruised and it forms a lump. There is no redness, heat or discoloration. After 3-5 days the pain subsides. But this is happening every pin. I have a pretty steady hand and perform the pins the same way as I have from the beginning . I am using a same batch of gear from the last time I cycled with no issues. So it's not the gear and I have tried switching back to the 1" pins and that didn't help either. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
