I took a cycle of Test E a while back in my senior year of high school. The only real complaint I had back then was that my ass hurt a ton the following days after injection. I wasn't injecting the recommended spot. I was injecting right above where my ass cheek meets the back of my leg. Like right at the crease where my ass starts. I guess I was just lucky not to hit the sciatic nerve. It seemed to hurt me a lot more than the other two people I was doing it with who were doing it at the same spot.
Last week I tried up a new cycle of some stuff that was probably pointless to do anyway. It's Boldenone Propionate 100mg/ml. It was going to expire by October so I figured I'd rather do it then have to throw it away because I couldn't get any other gear to stack with it in time. Anyway, I used the same sized needle I used last time. 1.5 in 23 gauge.
This time I stuck in the upper right quadrant like recommended. I swabbed the needle with alcohol and the area I was to inject. I let the two dry before injection. I pushed the needle in slowly and all the way in. No pain except for the initail prick through the skin and a kind-of weird inexplicable feeling halfway through injection. I only used .75ml. I shot more to the inside of the upper outer quadrant, but still in the upper outter quadrant. I also was very steady while injecting and I pulled back on the plunger to see if I was in the right place (no blood). All I got was a little bubble so I figured I was good. I made sure there were no bubbles prior to injection. I injected slowly. After pulling out I put an alcohol pad on the spot and massaged it for about 10 minutes.
Later that night I started to feel it hurting a little. the next morning was worse and I could barely workout. The 2nd morning was worse and I couldn't work out. The 3rd morning was the worst. It took 6 days for me to be able to push myself through a workout. It's now one week to the day and I can still feel it a little but not much pain just feels tight like I pulled it real bad last week or something.
The last week has been HELL. I could barely walk at day 2. Day 3 I couldn't sleep because the pain was so bad. The spot looked completely normal the whole time and it never got red or swollen. It was never visibly infected. It looked perfectly normal, but the pain was definitely immense.
I couldn't really sit or lay down without being really uncomfortable. It also felt like there was a lump the size of a baseball in my ass. I still feel a lump but it's much smaller now. It also felt like the pain had spread from the injection point and traveled all the way along the section of muscle toward the bottom of my spine. That definitely worried me, but it's good now. I massaged, stretched, and abstained from any stressful liftling until yesterday. On day three I promised myself if the pain didn't go away in two days or if it got worse the next day I would bite the bullet and go to the doctors. Luckily it's been getting better.
I'm no pussy for pain either. Not trying to be a tough guy but I played 10 years of football and started all 10 and only missed a total of 7 plays my entire career. granted that I never got a major injury like broken bones, but I've played with seperated shoulders and gotten a couple concusiions among other injuries i played with. So there's no way I would have pussed out of working out if it was at all possible for me to.
My question is, what the hell happened? I kept asking my self how in the world it was possible that so many people use gear and can still workout and play sports. If somebody would have hit my ass on day 2 I would have dropped to the floor in pain for a solid 5 minutes. Thanks for any insight you guys can give me. I really would like to try again as I may have found a new source that can get me a proper cycle, but I definitely can't go through that BS again.
p.s. Sorry for it being so long, but I wanted to make sure you all had all the info I could think would relate to my question.
