Breaking The Skin

[italionos]

Anyone ever take a bad shot where it doesn't bother you going in , but it hurts like a bitch breaking the skin. Why does that happen to me sometimes. Can you just numb the injection site with ice maybe?

It hurts sometimes. But it is better than a kick in the face, and you get big. Just suck it up.

It could be that scar tissue has built up where you are injecting and it is tougher to break through

How sharp is your pin? If your using the same pin to load up a syringe and sticking it a couple time before you inject. Most pins become dull after it's second or third use. I use the same pin to load everytime and then replace with a new sharp one for injection. Just remember to sterilize everything before each use. Also if your not switching your injection sites around your skin will become tough in that area.

i get that sometimes, i only inject in my quads. I need to start hitting the glutes..

Sometimes if you hesitate b4 the shot u can make it more painful than just jabbing it right in there.

Pokin' is like taking off a band-aid. The slower you go the more it hurts.
Do the 1...2...POKE! thing. Then advance, aspirate and shoot. Also make sure your skin is dry from alcohol used to clean it. It will burn going in.

could cause some problems for you in the future bro, i would use a new pin everytime.

If that pin got any bacteria on it, and you use it to draw the AAS, the whole vial can be contaminated, which could lead to bigger problems.

i agree i had the same problem for a while with trying not to rush i definately found going slower on entry to be more painful and fresh sharp pin is the only way to go i dont even bother using the one i drew with i pop it off and twist on a fresh 1 goes in nice

I think it has alot to do with the needle gauge. What gauge you use?

[italionos]

I use 22gauge. And i use a new pin to draw the roid, and then i change the tip again to shoot it, So brand new pin everytime, to ensure clenlyness. It aint horrible but sometimes its jsut a pain in the ass .. literally

[pigrond]

try 23 ga its suprisingly smaller yet flows well and is available in 1" and 1.5"

[odix]

i once did Ed shots in my ass for 3 weeks, now my ****ing ass is like a sowers hand, hard as **** to break the skin and hurts like hell, but hey, your a ****ing juicer, don't be a pussy. You can't be both.

I second that notion and proceed to grab its ass

[SNUKA]

hold the syringe upsidedown and squirt a few drops to that it runs down the needle and lubes it up also using a smaller gauge helps the one time i didn't lube up the needle ir hurt like a bastard also don't hesitate just jab it in one fluid motion

[fatrock]

It could be scar tissue as well as dull needle, make sure it is sharp and try somewhere else. does it only happen in that one spot?

[1zach4]

I had this problem today with my chest...23g 1in pin and for some reason it just wouldn't go in. I finally punctured the skin and had to force it in after that...pretty painful and I never have this problem in my glutes or my quads.

tanning also tightens up the skin and makes it harder to poke
