Here goes...I'm in 3rd week of 1st cycle, Test E 500mg/wk, with kickstart of Prop 100mg EOD--prop has kicked in and it feels great!!Unbelievable pumps, good strength bumps already, up 10 lbs (h2o,so what,makes my shoulder pain go away), good wood,etc.......Here's the sheit: UNFATHOMABLE pain 2-4days after injections. Let me say first off I'm no needle pussy( actually get a perverse pleasure out of it), and I have a very high pain tolerance. I do all the right things: warm gear, 23ga pin, slooow injection, good sterile technique,etc. I have no pain with the stick, nor anything for 24hrs...then the shit hits the fan on day 2.
It grows to baseball size area, indurated, firm, slightly red, BUT no signs of infection at all. I think this is an immunological reaction by my body towards the foreign substance---more than a local reaction, more like regional myositis/fascitis, inflammatory but NOT infectious, BUT HURTS LIKE A MUTHA FUKr!!!
Whatever muscle group I inject becomes totally unusable for working out for 4-5 days. Seriously. With the frontload and th kickstart I had a lot of injections for while. I've done glutes, quads, and delts. I also had "test flu" for first week, which is a kinda systemic reaction to foreign substance. The worst thing I did was both lateral quads at the same time---I literally couldn't walk much less do squats for a week. I came very very close to quitting the cycle
which is sad cause I really have been stoked for this for six monthss now. I did stop the prop, which interestingly hurt less than the Enanth, and am doing E in glutes only--1cc each cheek/weekBut I still have probs---SIGNIFICANT PAIN, almost crippling, plus pain in sacrum and lower lumbar spine to touch. Even If I decide to just take the pain, its real fukn hard to work out. My gear is BD, and "looks" OK. But I wonder...WTF. Am I having an allergic reaction or is there used motor oil in my gear? I think Pinnacle said the other day about gear crashing in the muscle, actually crystallizing in the tissue. Could this be happening each time?
Anyway, so sorry for the long winded rant. Still not sure how to proceed, or if any body has experienced this amount of severe pain with injections. Any thoughts?
