Did my injection not hit the muscle?

[Juced_porkchop]

Hello there.

So today I experienced something unusual, atleast for me.

I inject in my thigh. Today I forgot to withdraw before i injected to check for blood.

I injected slowly and pulled the needle out afterwards just like normal.

However.
When I was done i put pressure on the site and it made this wierd noise.

You know when you drink alot of water/liquid and bounce your belly you can hear the liquid ''bouncing'' inside your stomach.

Thats the closest sound that I can come up with that explains the noise it makes.

I can touch the injection site with little pressure and it makes this noice. Either its the liquid moving or its full of air bubbles inside there. I always have a little bit of air in the syringe to get every bit of the testosorone inside.

Now what's this?

I can kind of feel the liquid/air bubbles when i squeeze the injection site. Its been 3 hours since i injected and its still the same
jesus and your still pressing :-/ ... is this your first cycle?
I am guessing it did not go into the muscle correctly?

It was a 2ml/250mg testosorone cypionate if its any interest

why on earth would you put pressure?!? just LEAVE IT!
putting pressure is adding tissue damage. you are hurting yourself NOT making it go in. you cant PUSH the oil into muscle (try it with a steak and grape seed oil lol). it will have to sit and slowly absorb.
once you inject LEAVE IT ALONE!! DONT massage and DONT put pressure.

you prob caused damage or burst a nearby vein.

I am sorry I think i expressed myself wrong let me try again.

When I said squeezing it after I was done. I did not ment squeeze just gently touch the site, so gently you would pet a young kitten. Just to check what the noise was.

When I said pressure I have been given advice becouse at first on my cycles i had troubles with pain after injecting but thats gone now. . By pressure I mean massaging it for 10 seconds so gently i can barely feel it like you would pet a small kitten. I can hardly believe this causes damage.

I can understand you thought so when I said pressure you probably think I was putting alot of force on it.

But now I learned something new, thank you

No need to massage the area immediately after an injection mate. As others have said, you possibly increase the risk of trauma. If you are concerned about absorption or pooling, some recommend warming the gear using warm-hot water before drawing into the syringe. This may help reduce pooling in the muscle though I've never found a need to do it personally.

The only time I'd recommend massaging the area is if a lump starts to form 48 hours (or more) after the injection. Heating the area with a heating pad or a warm soak in the tub followed by a massage of the area can be helpful in breaking down any swelling or lumps if they appear 48 hours after an injection. Any lumps or hardening of the area that persists longer than 5 days post injection my indicate a possible infection and would require a different treatment protocol is other symptoms of infection are present. I realize your question is not about infections, however, it's important to identify the difference between common PIP and a possible infection.
