    TEST E , TRT STINGS AS I INJECT SUBq- ANY ADVICE/TIPS/TRICKS?

    Hey Guys, im using a 30g 6mm long needle to inject 0.3ml of test E sub q, and finding it stings nearly unbearably for the 20 seconds it takes to get the oil in.

    i warm up the oil before i inject but its warm- body temp and dont pinch the skin, but as i inject into my stomach fat it stings.

    it lasts for around 3-40mins after injecting until it dissapates and is gone next day...so long term no real issues.

    i have injected peptides 0.1ml - no issues in the past so im sure its related to the test e oil itself. All pharma grade primoteston so its not a ugl.

    does anyone have advice on limiting the sting - making it more comfortable?

    i am waiting on 29g insulin needles to arrive incase the needles are causing the issue and i need a larger pin...but would love to hear some tips /tricks

    Ive had that sometimes and I think its the brand pin you/I am using because it only seems to be with certain brands although I have not taken the time to note it. Try switching to a different brand needle and see if it helps.

    Sticking the pin in doesn't hurt. Its the oil going in that makes it sting. I'm using BD 30g at the moment, I was guessing the fine gauge was injecting the oil under pressure , so an increase in gauge might help

    Seems like a small gauge, in my experience smaller needles are more painful putting in the fluid than larger ones. Although I've never done any sub q injections everything I've ever gotten from nurses is iv or im. Good luck

    Yeah that could be very true. How long was it taking you to inject? I have not been able to get Test E to go through a 30g. Ive tried a couple of times but it just takes way to much pressure. I use a 27g and it works good, about 1minute or a little more per cc.

    Its taking around 1 minute for 0.3 ml using 30g pin. Hopefully the next pin I get at 29g will Make a difference. My last pin site is bruising.

    I do tiny test e injections sq (the same product as you), and used to get welts, but if I massage the area pot injection the welt is very tiny or nonexistent. But I have never had any burning of any kind from it, and I have used slin pins and now 27g.

    I think Bass or someone else had burning and welts and found a different injection site where they had no problems - hips or bottom, if iirc.

    My rx test doesn't leave welts, but my ug stuff does. I'm sure it has to do with carrier oil. I could look and see what my oils are, i don't remember but i do know they're different

    Update. Used the 29g 12.7mm pin with virtually no pain. Previous pin was 30g with a 8mm needle so I figured I may have been injecting into the fat causing an absess. Either way its much better

    That's the size I use - Walgreens 29g .5mL slinpin in the fatty area of the gluteus medius. Swap side weekly - left on Mondays, right on Thursdays. Now that I am cutting, there's not as much fat, but it still works.
