Leakage following injection

[nycdave]

Hey everyone. Have a question regarding injections. Currently I am taking a TRT dose of Test Cyp every four days - approx .7 mil of fluid. Have been pinning myself in the delts only, alternating shoulders each shot. My question: some of the test is leaking back out of my shoulder after I pull out the needle. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? This just started happening recently. I am using a 25 gauge 1.5 inch needle, I don't push it all the way in - usually try to push it in approx 1 inch then inject. Appreciate any guidance from you guys on this issue.

Here's a technique I use; after you sterilize the injection site pull the skin in one direction with one hand as far as you can. Once done, complete your injection and leave the needle in the skin for about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds pull the needle out and let the skin go back to its original position.

Essentially, the hole in the skin in now in a different position than the injection site and you shouldn't see any seepage.

Give it a try, I do it all the time in the gluts and it works well.

I have this problem in the delts and the thighs and tris. I use a 5/8 in the delts/tris and a 1" in the thigh. My thoughts were that the density of the muscle or scar tissue would not let the fluid disperse fast enough if injected to quickly or the fluid was not warm. The tris for me are full of scar tissue, had asthma as a kid and took 3 shots per week in each for almost 20 years. Also I have found I can only put certain amounts in certain places. Tris= .5ml, Left delt= 2ml, right delt= 1ml, thighs= 2.5ml per. How much do you inject at a time?

I too only use delts. Same thing happens to me. I just slap the alcohol swab on right away after injection & hold it there for 10 or 20 seconds, then immediately put a little round bandaid on. Thsi tends to reduce the leakage, but I might try the GD method mentioned above...

Don't put alcohol on the injection site as its an anticoagulant and will enhance bleeding. Just use a dry swab and put pressure on the injection site for 30 seconds.

You're sic;-)

Thanks for noticing!

it happens. I just put my ffinger/thumb over the hole and massage for about 15 seconds and this, for me, takes care of it most of the time. It's not that much so I don't worry.

I would not worry about the amount that is leaking out.

However I would worry about the reason it is happening now and did not a few weeks/months ago. You really need to rotate cites, there is no reason not to include at least Delts/Quads/Glutes in your rotation. All of these locations are very safe as far as nerves and major blood vessels.

By rotating cites you will be able to continue your TRT for ages ( as you will need to ) without any significant scarring and the problems associated with it in the longterm.

Also I would suggest you change to a 1 by 25g needle, this will allow you to simply insert fully making injection easier and the small gauge will force you to inject slowly to lessen tissue damage due to flow rate exceeding the muscles ability to absorb the AAS. As said by Kelkel the z track where you pull the skin to the side works well if you have the coordination. If not just using the second part of the technique and waiting a while after pushing the plunger fully before withdrawing the needle will allow any pressure at the depot to disperse.

Good luck wichever route you choose, FFM

I just now figgured out what you two were talking about...I guess thats a good thing. Will have to ask DSM if pulling the cheek/cheeks to one side works that way?

Don't put alcohol on the injection site as its an anticoagulant and will enhance bleeding. Just use a dry swab and put pressure on the injection site for 30 seconds.

Understood, but mentally, it makes me feel better by swabbing the area one last time with the alcohol swab. Leakage/bleeding generally isnt a problem for me...

[nycdave]

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. It is strange that this started to happen more frequently now. I don't think I am steady enough to stretch the skin as GD suggested. That is a good idea though and I bet it would work if my coordination were a little better...Far's suggestion of trying different locations to pin (not just delts like I am currently doing) makes sense. Do all of you do this? My doc didn't tell me I should do this so have been sticking to the shoulder. Will do a little research on where exactly to pin in these other areas. I will also shift to a shorter needle - ordered the longer version accidentally and I couldn't exactly return them so have been running down my supply. Really appreciate the help. Any other suggestions would be appreciated gents.

Use the Z track injection method, problem solved.

ya know big guy

if ya didn't pick at the acne on yer face from all the test....

...ya wouldn't need the mask!?

........just saying! =)

Ya know TR...his damn avi's have given me nightmares!

Where's he find these freaky things...never mind...I don't want to know

Better yet, I am going to find one better and change mine out and see if I can beat his butt!

Yeah you have to wonder if marcus has a DARK side. he is from UK so maybe he has his won dungeon where he keeps his girls chained to a wall and rack? There are people like that and this may be his social network so he feels normal?

Not that there is anything wrong with any of that of course. I personally would love to have my own dungeon.
