Redness and pain inches away from injection site

[The Deadlifting Dog]

Too bad I didn't major in chemistry.
I am about to start a test prop cycle and I have no idea what the pain is going to be caused by even after reading these posts.

I've pinned on an angle and didn't know it til my buddy told me "wait your at an angle" so I had the same sort of thing and it was prop but it went away within 2 days.... Just my .02! Just make sure in spots where you can't see as much; to make sure you don't go in on an angle, therefore you'll get max absorption... Also, I my glutes/quads I use 1.5" pins... Delts/tri's/etc(smaller more lean muscle) I use no less then a 1" pin!
Good luck!

Isn't it supposed to be done at an angle for glute shots? Slightly downward into the muscle? Shoud the injection into the delt be completely horizontal, at a 90º angle to the arm?

Let me ask you this,is this your first time using Prop,and this lab for that matter?

yes it is


I took citirizine and noticed no change so I think that means it is not allergic?

It is no more or less painful or more or less red than it was yesterday. My pen marks got rubbed off but I can still see them lightly and it looks like it has expanded slightly. It is quite warm and I have felt some hot flashes in the region.

I definitely agree... I should have been more in depth! My F-up was in on my side of my Quad... I angled it so much that it kinda pooled a lil outside of the muscle but was still deep enough for IM (1 1/2" pin) !

But yes you should be at a slight angle in the glute as you are correct! My bad for being so broad! Also, my delt shots are petty horizontal... 90 degrees from delt for the most part, could be on a very slight angle ... But the one I fudged was at like a 120 degree angle on the right side of my quad - shoulda been way more horizontal... Lol!

Thanks for reminding me to be more in depth... Much appreciated!
