Decided to go down this road. Soreness after pinning, suggestions?
I did a search for sore and soreness, but got a lot of results for soreness after workouts. Which I do get sore after workouts, but my question is about soreness from injections. I have now done 2 doses of 200mg of Test C, one dose per week. Intramuscular injection with 1.5" needle. The first time I didn't even feel the needle in my right glute and only had slight soreness in my glute during the 24-48 hours after. I did some cardio and leg training the day of pinning. After after. My 2nd dose, I did the left glute. Also early in the morning and a similar cardio and leg training day along with shoulders. Though I did more quads that the week before. This time I did feel the needing during injection, but only slightly. But the soreness is really strong this time at the 24 hour mark. Will see how it goes tomorrow and Monday.
is soreness at the injection area just part of intramuscular injections? I will not be switching to subcutaneous injections during my first 10 weeks as I already have the needles. The only suggestions I have read so far is to warm the oil, which I live in a hot place where the oil is usually 76-78F already. And some say not to message the injection area afterwards. Right now I follow the video instructions from this site on IM injections. Would prefer not to have a sore glute everyweek like this. Then again my muscles are always sore from my workouts for years. So it's nothing new.
Any other suggestions to reduce or eliminate soreness from IM injections without heating the oil?
