first injection ouch!!!!!!

[moonroof]

Hey guys I just had my first Test E injection.I used a 21 gauge 1" needle. I injected on my right glute and I think it was a little high i think. when I woke up the next day it was sore by the next day it hurt really bad and now i can barely sit on it. I have no bruising or knots or discoloring. Do you guys have any idea what hapend . Is it like this for you guys. I plan on getting a 23 guge 1" needle for the next one!

That was a good size needle for your first shot lol

I use 25ga

yeah I think I will get 25 gauge for my other. Should I alternate or go to the other glute?

always rotate injection sites

I'm on the my first cycle as well; 22g 1.5inch. The first shot itself went fine, but the next day it was sore. By the 3rd night, f*ck buddy....I couldn't sleep it hurt so bad. I'm 4weeks in now, and have been alternating left/right glute. I haven't had any problems since.

try 23 or 25g... but the real key is to inject slowly... i.e. 1 minute per ml

I had my wife buy some sports cream and i put it on before bed time ad at bed time and today the pain is nearly alsmost gone. Now i get y second shot.

i have been pinning with a 21g also. 21g, 1.5, and i bury it in my quad, no problems, no soreness. it does look like a big ass needle though!

I find that glutes are the most painfull shot site anywhere.... thats why i never shoot there anymore... try quads, so easy...

21g for your first shot? Obviously you aren't too afraid of needles.

Yes, try some other sites.
My 4 favs are:

Glutes, Quads, Tri's, Shoulder

Awile ago it was chest but had a bad experience so it's no longer in my rotation.
