Cheers Lach01, good link there. I will wait'n see dude, though I'm sure your right, it's still sore as funk, but no visible inflamation, so prob just the ba. Next time though I will take the following steps, even though none of them do much for the ba per say, they should still all help, and certainly not hinder...

1. Shoot my glute instead,...so I don't have to limp like a Zombie all week.
2. Heat up the Ampule in Hot water, and not just under my stinky non-sterile armpit.
3. Inject the Sust much more 'slowly',- a good 15-20secs,- let it seep into the muscle a bit slower.
4. Massage the area afterwards,- seems to be a mix of opinions in this, but most say it's a good thing to rub the area!?
5. Knock back that pint of Jack D before my next leg session, just to see if it gives me more pumps & focus!

Okay, well this is just a quick follow-up post to let y'all know how my 2nd (ever) jab went, in respect to the 1st one a week ago, which as we all know from my incecent bitchin', was bloody painful in the days following (and still is!)!

Well, the 2nd jab was awesome,- as good as sticking a long sharp piece of metal into you can get! It's 36hrs post-jab now, and I'm in absolutely no discomfort what-so-ever, in fact, I have to 'poke' the area to check where I injected!!?

Here's a run down of the exact proceedure I used....

1. Always use a clean, organised, and sterile set-up.
2. Use a 23G 1 1/2 Inch needle for Gluteal Injections.
3. Use a 23-25G 1 - 1 1/4 Inch needle for Quad & Deltoid Injections.
4. Warm the Ampoule in 'hot' water for few mins prior to injection.
5. Score the neck of the Ampoule with a metal file, to ease opening.
6. Use one needle to draw the oil into the syringe & a 2nd needle to inject.
7. Swab chosen injection area with an Alcohol wipe.
8. Inject area at a 90 degree angle, and swiftly i.e. with a 'darting' motion.
9. Aspirate!!! - Pull back plunger approx ¼ ml. (Abort jab if blood is drawn!)
10. Inject 'very slowly',- the slower the better. 15-30 secs per ml.
11. Wait 10 secs before removing needle.
12. Swab area with alcohol wipe.
13. Massage area firmly for 30 secs or so.
14. Apply a heat pad / Hot Water Bottle.
15. Exercise soon after to increase blood flow to the area.

...If anyone thinks I'm overcomplicating a relatively simple proceedure they're of course entitled to they're own opinion. However, for me personally the difference a few 'extra steps' have made to post-injection pain/discomfort (or lack thereof in my case!), would appear to make it all very well worthwhile. I highly recommend the above proceedure to anyone who is particularly sensitive to post-injection pain.
