    two cc's may be too much for the delt and yes, INJECT S-L-O-W.

    do you have an abcess?

    It can't really be an infection rearing its ugly head yet, its too soon..

    I put 3-4cc in my delt no prob with a 22ga 1 1/2, so i dont think 2cc is too much at all!

    And i never inject slowly. I push the oil out as fast as it can go. I know your not supposed to, but it never seems to cause any pain though!

    NO you would go to the doc... 2cc is fine in your delts, i preffer a smaller guage needle though. If i inject real fast its more sore the next day, diff people react diff. i would suggest you massage the area and next time make sure you inject slowly

    2 ccs is fine fine in the delts for some, i've done it many times but i feel more comfortable shooting only 1-1.5ccs. the trick is just inject slow...

    I personally would never use a 22 guage for a delt, next time use a 25 gauge and inject slowly. It should take almost a whole minute
