Thigh aching after 1st jab, should I train legs today!?!?

[DeputyLoneWolf]

Yeah, I defo injected too fast, I was anxious to get it over with I guess! I will go much slower next time,- at least 15-20 secs for 1ml. I did heat the vial under my arm-pit, but I think I'll take a leaf out of your book next time DeputyLoneWolf.

A tip I read about is to put your pins in the freezer shelf before jabbing,- apparently it causes much less pain! I didn't do it with my 1st jab though, as I'd only heard it from one source. Anyone else tried this???

Also, is there anything I can do now to speed recovery? Like I said,- I tried 'Heat-Massage-Ice-Rest-Repeat' earlier,...but as it feels now I think I may as well have just put my damn thigh through 10 rounds with Tyson!!! Lol

Is just Heat or just Ice better at this point? Should I massage it or leave it? Finally, will a pint of Jack Daniels affect my gains at all, cause I sure feel it'd help distract me from the pain right now??? He-he!

Thanks everyone for your advice & support!

Dude don't put the pin in the freezer, that will just make it easier to feel the needle going in IMO. Also I jab some what fast like a dart, aspirate, and then take my sweet time injecting. So far after 36 injections in 6 months (twice a week) no probs at all. it will get much easier trust me. Now I won't let anyone else inject me for flu shots etc. lol I just have them give me the needle and alcohol swab. They look at me like I'm nuts but I do a much better job than any nurse lol

Yeah, I think I'll give that one a miss too mate! Plus, I don't think my mother would appreciate it if she found a 21G in her Ben & Jerrys eh! ;-)

That's pretty cool! Lol There's so much conflicting opinions out there on aspects of the injection procedure! Some say stick it slow & steady, some say jab it in fast, as you suggest. Some say to massage after injecting, some say it's the last thing you want to do. Apparently this can cause the oil to seep back up the needle track!?
