Post Injection Pain?

[GymRat96744]

Hey guys this is my second cycle and i pinned 250mg of test e monday morning. Not too much pain just a little charlie horse feeling. I had no PIP on my first cycle of test e. Today is tuesday and the charlie horse feeling is still there but only when i lift my arm. there is no redness. The delt where i injected is hard maybe a little swollen but i cant tell. Just wanted to know if this normal. Im not sure if its suppose to be like this as it didnt happen during my last cycle. Thanks guys. I can always count on you guys when i have questions.

Was it a virgin muscle? I'm not sure what you're complaining about, sounds normal to me! Are you using a different size gauge then you did last cycle? Is it the same gear as last cycle?

Well I haven't cycled in about a year so I guess it could be considered a virgin muscle but I did pin it in my cycle. Same size needle as last time. And it's a different brand of gear then last time. I'm not complaining bro just wondering if its normal and if its suppose to go away in a certain amount of time so i can watch if need to as it has never happened to me before.

if it's not red and only a little swollen it's nothing to worry about. keep an eye on it. hows the quality of your gear? is it from a different ugl/brand?

Yeah it's a different ugl from last time. My source is solid so I believe the gear is g2g

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

I would say it's because you're using different gear, especially UGL. As long as it's not red or anything you shouldn't worry.

[stpete]

Yeah, you're ok. Just the gear. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it probably won't go away as much as you'll get used to it.

[MickeyKnox]

^^ could very well be. keep an eye on it and see if it continues into the next pin.

[GymRat96744]

It actually only cause discomfort when I lift my arm straight up like when doing shoulder presses.

Go for some 1 inch 25g pins. Might help a lil with virgin muscle. Or u may be using them all along? Keep us posted.

[GymRat96744]

Well it's still swollen a bit and still have the Charlie horse feeling. It's not red or anything so I don't think it is infected. I think I might have a little test flu but not too sure. I feel a little achy, weak and tired but not sure if its test flu cause I never had it before. Any input?

[MickeyKnox]

did you pin a different muscle group/area? you did delts last time. did you pin glutes this time?

[GymRat96744]

I was referring to the last time I pinned the delt. I haven't pinned a second time yet.

[MickeyKnox]

you pinned mon, today is thurs. when is your next pin?

[GymRat96744]

you pinned mon, today is thurs. when is your next pin?

Today but not home from work yet so didn't pin yet.

[MickeyKnox]

try the glute when you get home, it's the most forgiving. im curious if you feel the same in this area.

What do you think about the aches and tiredness?

[MickeyKnox]

sounds like test flu. if it is, it will go away with time.

What size pin should I use for the glute? I used 23 x 1" I also have 23 x 1 1/2". I can always pick up another size too

[MickeyKnox]

i use 23 1.5's

but others here will use 1" and it seems to be fine. it all depends on your bf. sometimes i don''t bury the needle though. i can usually tell when its deep in the muscle.

Oh shoot I didn't see that. My bad. Is it goin to happen every time I pin the test?

that's ok.

im not sure bro. im trying to figure out if its gear or virgin muscle. you'll simply have to keep it going and monitor. no reason to be alarmed at this point that's for sure.

take you time with it, inject slowly, make sure your 'Mise en place' is clean.

Cool thanks bro. Does the test flu happen every time I pin the test?

[MickeyKnox]

that's an individual thing - hard to predict. in fact it could happen this cycle, but not the next. the key is to keep your diet on point and fight through it. it will break, stay positive.
