    Serious fina/prop problem!

    I am on my 7th shot today and I think I might not even take anymore. My first 3 shots were good. Not too much pain. My forth shot was in my glute and it hurt bad for 7 days. Next I went up to my delt. I shot in my delt once already w/ little pain, this time it was terrible. Then I went to my calf. That was on friday morning and by friday night my calf was swollen up almost double! I can not even walk. This morning it is just as bad. I have tried heat, cold packs, pills, massaging, nothing helps, when I stand it throbs so bad I can't stand it. What the F**K is going on. I know prop hurts but there is no way guys are working out w/ the pain I have. My gear is homebrew so maybe it is bad, but I don't think so. I am shooting 1cc of each eod. What the hell can I do. I am seeing results already but I have to be able to function.

    Dude their is no sucking up not being able to walk because my calf is double the size it usually is. I'm poping 5 advil every 4 hour and nothing is helping. Is it common for prop to make you swell up so bad?

    Why dont you cut the prop with oil. Buy some sesame oil and run it through a whatman into another vial to be sure it is sterile. You can add a touch of Ba to the oil too be extra safe (too much will just cause more irritation). When your ready to inject put a cc of prop and a half or more cc of sesame that should take some of the sting out of the shot.

    23g 1 1/2" glutes and 23g 1" everywhere else. Would 25g help? How about b12. b12 is cheap, maybe I will try some of that!

    i get more pain out of 25g for some reason, I can feel it going in more and it takes forever to get it out of the syringe. Stick with 23g IMO

    I agree. I have a hard enough time getting my gear out of a 23g, I'll stick w/ them. Thanxs Bros!

    not sure about the 18 to draw a lot of the vet cyclers have said it leads to rubber breakage in the cap when you are stabbing it with an 18 gauge every day?

    exactely, u get little pieces of rubber floatin in your ****. not good. i use a 21 to draw and a 25 to inject. after i draw the stuff in the syringe, i put it under HOT running water for about 2 minutes and it goes in like butter. heating it also makes the oil spread out in the muscle easier cause it is less viscious (sp)

    Prop does that to me too, try cutting it down with some sterile oil or something...

    Where do you get sterile oil and how much do you cut it with....1 to 1 ratio...?

    Planning on adding some prop so I am a needle phobic fag as it is....needs to be as painless as possible.
