Swollen and sore

[Str8diezel]

I've been running gear since about 2015. I have never had any issues.

About a year ago I switched labs because the one I was using prior got shut down. At first it was great felt good looked good and strength was great. I came off cycle and got back on the way I was suppose to.

Now for the past month every pin I take the next day is swollen and sore. No redness no heat, just swollen and sore. It doesn't matter where I go, quad, glute, chest, delt it never fails. Would my body start reacting to the gear differently over time or would it be more gear related

Could be a difference in the carrier oils, solvents or even the raws. Some test enanthate is not processed properly when the raws are made and have a high acid content.

Yep probably gear related. Some stuff just stings. Granted its not infected you might be able to just power thru it. Have you tried warming up the oil before pinning it?

Try using another source of gear. If it's making you swollen and sore for more than a day or two, there's something in it that's not agreeing with you.

I've been powering thru it's just getting annoying lol. Almost 8 years not a single even slight issue now this it's frustrating. I haven't tried warming with warm water but I usually always hold tight in my hand for awhile before I pin

I was afraid of someone saying that lol. Strong domestic sources are like unicorns anymore lmao

i've experienced the swelling PIP with more concentrated test - some UGL's sell Test @ 350-500mg/ML, those cause it for me. I use Grapeseed oil to cut it at a 50/50 mix, that takes care of it for me.

Is there a reason it's just now starting. Like I said I've been using the same stuff for quite awhile. The first couple vials were fine but the last two I've used have been miserable. I'm still sore from a Tuesday injection

It might be a different batch with different carrier oils and solvents. If it's not a different batch and it's using oils and solvents you've tolerated before, it's possible you could develop an allergy to it. Or that there is some sort of contaminant that got in there.

It could also be your injection technique.

Rule of thumb, if it's making you ill, stop doing it. If it causes swelling and pain, just stop using it. What is more valuable to you? The body part you injected to? Or the vial of gear?

something has changed. If this started with a different vial then ur source made a change. As AG said above, test e can fucking turn on you with change in batch.

what lab is it?

That's a very good point lol the body part is definitely more important haha.
