well i made a post last night ive been injecting 1cc of test cyp in my glute rotating sides so ive done two on my right and one on my left, its the first time ive injected test cyp, only other cycle i did was mastabol... and its just hurting real bad and the muscle is just very sore and hard underneath and there is just a little black and blue on the third injection site... the first week it was sore also but it went away progressivly as the week went on... on the third shot that i injected i did it int he right glute and it was into an already sore muscle so i just wanna make sure that its not infected it doesnt look it, its not really red or nething just the muscle around it is hard and very sore it just feels like a lump of hard muscle i just dont know if its because of its the first time im injecting a test like steroid into the muslce... my left side is clearing up and doesnt hurt as much as the right,, im gonna start injecting into the delts and rotate so theres more sites used, i used a 23g 1.5 inch

the black and blue is prolly a clipped vein (usually a small one no worries) got one or two when i just did my first cycle... and for the most part any intramuscluar injection is going to be sore buddy. i am in the medical field but juust think you stick a needle deep into your body. and a suggestion i do quads and they are pretty painless. also the gear might have a high alchol content in it which causes more pain

yeah i dont mind the pain i just dont wanna be worrying about an infection i use alcohol every time i shoot so i dont think its an infection i just wanted to make sure and see what you guys thought,, ne other information?

another thing is when i got my gear they said it was a brand new batch so could that be why there might be a more alcohol content?
