First Injection

[super.muscle3]

2 Days Ago I took my first injection with 500mg of test ethanate in the ass.

When I touch the place of injection it hurts yet and the local of injection is still too hard.

Is this normal or can I do anything for this to pass? Maybe massage?

LOL Virgin muscle injection... Be sure its not warm or hot to the touch that would be a sign of infection. Put a hot compress on it and massage the area.
If your injecting 500mg a week you can split that up into 250mg 2x a week it will hurt less.

Normal experience for first timers first time....

For a first time yes. Just split 500mgs into two pins per week.

Yep all the above^^^

Give it a few days, if it doesnt go away, see a doc.

However, redness, hardening and warm to the touch are not symptoms that guarantee you have an infection, Although possible and should not be ignored. Something as simple as having an unsteady hand could cause micro tears in your muscle and it will flare up with the same symptoms above. You just need to give it 3 days to see if it goes down.

I was going to ask if he was doing 2X a week 500mg=1000mg a week.

Ohhh do i remember that. I used a heating pad and it is very wise to inject slowly. I cannot stress that enough, im talking 1ml a minute slow. Like its not even going in slow. Then i gently massaged the injection point after i swabbed with my alcohol pad again. It takes some getting used to. Best thing is everything super sterilized and go slow
