Sore from needle

[Troy boys]

Hi please I need to know I've been pinning in to my glute with a 23g .5
I'm sore and swollen I've googled and I have seen once that my needle is to small and not deep enough which is why I'm in pain with swollen muscle
Is this true
Thanx

[PistolPete33]

a .5" needle is really small for a glute injection. Unless you are crazy lean it prob. didn't go into the muscle. Is this your first time pinning?

[Troy boys]

Yes this is 1st time
I did have 23g 1.5 but could only get 23g .5 so thought it would be ok
But I'm sore
Would it still have worked
Thanx for the reply also cheers

[Troy boys]

Also is there a better spot to inject with the .5
until I can get a 1.5 ty

[jdc91gt]

Yes, glutes need longer pins. I use 23g 1.5" for glutes. Soreness can come from several sources. Bad gear, failure to proper sterilize area, dull pin, poor technique, etc. Not to mention virgin glutes. You'll need at least 1" pins to get into the muscle. Keep us posted, and best of luck!

[PistolPete33]

Regardless of the size of pin you are going to be sore post injection. It's just part of the game. Virgin muscle will be sore. As jdc91gt said there are several reasons it might get sore. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get red, swollen, and hot. Still doesn't mean it's infected but it is cause for keeping a closer eye on it.

I'm sure you're fine. What did you do for the entire injection process? Did you put a new pin on after drawing oil from vial? Did you swab the area on your glute and on the vial?

[Troy boys]

Thanx
I'm positive that was very sterile
Have been using this gear for maybe 6 shots now
But I think it's obviously the short pin
Is there anywhere I can pin with these as I can't get 1.5's for a couple of weeks

[PistolPete33]

How much oil are you injecting? With the shorter pins I will do delts because I'm really lean there so it's an easy pin. If it's a lot of oil though it may hurt. I like to keep it under 1ml for delts but that's just me. I know others that go much higher but we all have our preferences.

[Troy boys]

I'm pretty sure it's not infected
Just feels hard and sore
I'm gonna put a heat pack on it hopefully just get it moving on
Yes I draw with an 18g and then went 23g
Cleaned all could even say to much lol

[Troy boys]

It's 250mg one vial
What you think
Is this ok. Cheers

Welcome to the community.

1" 22 gauge for quads
1.5" 22 gauge for glutes

22 - 25 gauge for thick oils, 25 - 27 for thin oils

If your pinning virgin muscle it's going to hurt until you get used to it, the needle itself shouldn't hurt but the oil will have a lasting painful affect until you get used to it.

Welcome to the forum post this in the anabolic Q&A this section is for introduction

[Troy boys]

Thank you all for your help
Is one vial of 250mg ok to do in the one pin
'When I get the new 1.5 needles lol

If you inject one vial of Test in your glute at 10mls you're muscle will prob. explode. I hope you mean to say is one ml OK to do this way.

[Troy boys]

No it's a 1ml vial
I'm away from home working for a month
As I've only got these small needles can I try my calves or should I do my delts I was thinking half a vial each arm
I'm starting to miss the uplift of testostrone now
I need a lift as well
Hard hot work here
Thanx

[PistolPete33]

Are you using Genshi brand by chance? I ask because of the 1ml vials. You can split it up and do 1/2 in each delt. It will still be sore but not as bad as injecting the entire 1ml into each. I've used 1/2" pins many times for delts but mostly with water based compounds. Your body will absorb it either way but the theory is that the further into the muscle the better absorbed it is. Also, if you miss the muscle the oil "can" run down into your joints and cause temporary issues. Not very common though but I know it's happened.

[Troy boys]

Pistol your a legend and I thank you very much
Mine is Bayer test don't have the vial on me at the moment I'm at work
Also probaly the last question
How about I inject into glute with the 18g 1.5 slowly
I know it will hurt 'needle' wise but it will get me back on track
Till I get home in few weeks
Thanx again really appreciate your help

[PistolPete33]

I wouldn't use the 18 guage myself. Way too big. Others might disagree with me on this. Glutes are really easy for me to pin but a little difficult to inject sometimes. I use a 25 guage which is fine. I would just stick with the smaller needles and call it a day. Can you just order from AR and have some needles shipped to where you're currently at?

[Troy boys]

Thank again pistol
I'll just have a go at the delts with rhe small
until I can workout how to get the 1.5in
Thank you once again
I'm in Australia are you
I owe you some favours

[PistolPete33]

No worries. Good luck with the rest of your cycle. Keep us posted.

There are informative videos on this site and others. Not sure why you are having trouble with obtaining 1.5" needles. You can purchase the needle tips only, assuming you have removable tips. They are super cheap. Plenty of sources that are very discreet. Also, one of the site sponsors sells equipment(ARR).

[Troy boys]

Yeah I've been to chemist in Australia and some give them out some don't
I tell them its for my dog
But right now I'm at work on a mine site so I'm stuck
But even though I'm new at pinning
I really wanted to get on it out here for energy as well as training
As its all work and rest here

[PistolPete33]

Are you training as well when you're out there?

[Troy boys]

Ha I've trained 3 times in 10 days my work is flat out so 'make excuses'
My training would be a laugh to youse blokes
But I'm 48yrs old so I'm just hoping to be more energised at the moment which is happening
I pinned today in my left delt 1/2 ml
And right thigh 1/2 ml
Then had a long hot shower 'which I learnt on here' then went to gym ran on treadmill and done some weights
So hopefully I'm finally doing the right thing

Welcome to the forum. This was very informative for me. I'm getting ready to start my first cycle so this has given me some ideas. Thanks

What are you goals for this cycle? If it's just for energy there are better options you could have done. Not worth risking your HPTA system for life for 12 weeks of feeling good and a lifetime of feeling like crap. I'm on TRT and it's a pain in the ass.

[Troy boys]

Kriptix
Good to hear that its been helpful as it has to me also
Hopefully my mistakes will benefit you and others
This site has been brilliant mate
I'd probably have arms and legs like Arnold
But it would only be because I've injected wrong and they'd sore and inflamed
LoL
Good luck mate

[drgreenthumb628]

Use a heating pad on the soreness that helped me if the needle doesnt go in enough than it will cause a lump and soreness as long as its gone in 7 days and you dont have a fever your ok just take asprin for pain
