    Painfull injections

    I'm going on week 7 of 500mg Test E/week.. Everything's been going great as far as injections.. The last 3 injections I've done have been pretty painfull though.. It's like as soon as I break the skin it just burns like hell and doesn't go away for awhile.. (the rest of the day) Normally, they aren't painfull at all so I'm a bit confused. Even the injection sites are little more sore than they have been. I'm usually sore throughout the injection day where as before, I didn't feel any discomfort untill the next day.. They are still healing fine.. Each day it's less discomforting and after a day or two I have no noticable pain. Could it be because Im am only doing Glutes and alternating? I'm also prepping the area with alchohol, but that never made a difference early on.. Im using 23's to pin as well.. It kinda sucks because after the 2nd week, I had no pain what so ever.. Even the day after I was not sore, but now this has started.. Thoughts?

    are you switching pins after you draw? that is crucial. start injecting delts as well.

    You think it's the needle? I'm just wondering why the first 8-10 injections didn't hurt at all and now they do.. Damn, I just ordered some more pins too.. Got some 23's and 20's comin.. Oh well, I've only got a few more weeks left. Just wanted to make sure nothing crazy was going on.

    Possibly because you haven't rotated off of your glutes. Not likely, but possible.

    no, its probably not the needle, but why use a thicker one when a finer one works just as well. try out the delts though, have a back up plan in case the ass is a no go.

    You may need to back off the glutes and pick another site. Delts really aren't bad at all.

    some have referred to the delts as 'the ass of the upper body'.
