Bee sting feeling,swelling and redness at injection sites now (pic)

[suprarob]

Ok so everything is going well with my new doctor. Still is actually. Prescibes me Progesterone,Arimidex and Hcg along with my Testosterone. However he had me on .1 cc of Test. I said that's not enough. I need at least double that. I could tell my libido was lower and overall wellbeing not the same as the last doc who gave me once a week 100 mg intramuscular shots. Now this new doc had me on 60 mg a week subcutaneous broken up into 3 shot a week (.1cc each shot). His reasoning is that breaking it up and using it subq you don't need as much. After a month he said to double it after he got my blood results. Makes more sense to me to use .2 cc's which I think works out to 120 mg's a week. Correct me if I am wrong.

Ok that's my 1 year TRT history in a nutshell with 2 doctors. The latest problem since i went to .2cc's a shot that I now get a bee sting feel about 6-8 hours later and a marble size lump. It subsides in about 2 days right when I'm a bout to take another shot. Just wondering what the cause it. I have lost bodyfat and I may have been only squeezing skin so it's going into skin and not fat. So this morning I tried to squeeze a larger amount. Seemed to work but nope,bee sting and swelling is back. (I realy don't seem to have love handles anymore) Any suggestions?

Thanks

Rob

PS:This new doc is switching to saliva tests instead of blood except once a year blood. Says saliva more accurate. Agree?

Hey no need to be a smartass. Pain and swelling doesn't show up that well on a pic. I could give 2 shits about the pain and swelling if it's nothing like over saturation for example.Just need to know if I need to switch up my protocol or just live with it. If it's normal hell you will never hear a word from me again,but if it is like this now what will it be like when I stop cruising and start blasting later in the Spring?

I think that is just some irritation, nothing to worry about. But lets wait for some other guys to answer.

What have your test levels gone back up to with your TRT? I am just about to start my TRT tonight- first pin. I am on 200mg/wk Test Cyp, an AI and hCG.

Keep an eye on it but it really looks like some irritation from the injection...it happens.

If it starts to get hot and weep with a streak you need medical care.

My appologies.

You nailed it though. I was being a smart ass.

bro, i get the very same thing. itching and a little red circle, and you can feel the knot underneath. But sure enough every time it goes away by next shot. I get this in the glutes, occasionally in the abdomen, but never in the thighs. Makes me all paranoid and OCD about the absorption but I figure it is in me so it will get absorbed. Gonna see my first blood results after 8 weeks and then reassess my injection techniques (ie. go IM, sub Q, or mix between the two)

I don't see any of those symptoms but will keep an eye on it.

And for gods sake man get rid of that avatar. All I can think about is my wife at 25 and can't stop looking at it.

Yeah I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed but I ain't the dullest either. ;-)

Good to know I am not alone. I too think iot absorbs just maybe at a slower rate and from what I hear that's not a bad thing. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure yet because the new doc made me send in a saliva sample. Great doc but then he takes this turn. I'm going to go get blood work on my own from Labcorp. Any recommendations of what tests I should get. I know test,free test and estrol. Anything else?

I had a few drinks last night and I was being a smart ass, I was also hoping you could laugh at it a lil bit. But it was completely right for you to call me out on it.

Again, appologies. Hope it doesn't get worse. I've had a couple that got UGLY.

It's all good bro. Takes a smartass to recognize a smartass.
