How to limit pain/discomfort when doing a shot?

[RendellUnit]

Im about to start a cyle and it includes 40mls of prop, not getting into the details of my cycle, but as im sure everyone who used prop, knows that it can hurt like a b*itch.

I was told to make it less painful:

warm up the vial (hold it in your palm for a while or run some warm water over the vial for a little
Inject slowly 30 seconds per ml
DONT ICE IT
Take a shower before or afterwards helps relax the muscles


I also heard that if you include a bit of b12 in your shot, that will also help with any pain or discomfort.

My question is does anyone else have any tips or suggestions on how to eliminate some of the pain or discomfort?

I usually use a 24 or 25 guage by 1inch tip and I usually inject in my shoulders or quads.


Any info would be appreciated.

if it hurts that much, dont use it. theres painless prop out there, throw it out.

In my experience it only hurts for a couple of weeks until your body gets used to it

Heating the oil only serves to let it pass through the needle without having to apply so much pressure, therefore less movement and less PIP.
How to reduce post injection pain(pip).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post injection pain can literally be a pain in the butt, amongst other places.
Hygiene and sterility, pre injection is obviously paramount in avoiding PIP.
We all know what that means.

Ok, for the last 4 months iv'e been using the Z track method and found that PIP especially in my quads is practically non-existent.

How to employ the Z track method?
Firstly get your injection point, then pull the skin across or down from that point, this moves the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues a centimetre or two, this helps reduce the sensitivity of nerve endings, remembering to keep an eye on the injection point.

Next insert the needle sharply in at a 90dg angle to the depth you need.
Inject the steroid (after aspirating) at a rate of about 10 secs/ml, when fully injected keep the needle in place for another 10secs, so allowing the steroid to seep into the muscle.
Remove the syringe quickly, at exactly the angle you went in and release the skin, this is what stops any of your steroid leaking out and reduces bleeds, then apply a little pressure to the area, but don't massage the area, this can cause some of the oil to be released back up the needle track and into subcutaneous tissue, which can lead to swelling and PIP.

Exercising the muscle afterwards will assist the absorption of the steroid by increasing blood flow to the area.

Finally, if you know where and how to inject safely into the ventrogluteal muscle, this is the best choice as there are no major nerves or blood vessel.

This is not specific to prop but in general the technique's i outlined above will help reduce overall PIP.

It always helps to take the plastic cover off the pin before injecting lol, my 2 cents

[J-Dogg]

Chase it with a lemon works, or some soda.

I always have to do it with just vodka shots, sugar and lemon does the trick though.

Cutting it with some oil has helped mine a great deal. Went from soreness that was affecting workouts to barely any soreness at all.

I've been adding about .6ml of oil to .7ml of prop (100mg/ml).
I'll only add about .3ml or so to the bis just so I don't put so much oil in there.

What kind of oil?

[BBall6]

What kind of oil?

I'm cutting it with cottonseed. Grapeseed is what the prop was made with.

[DrSauce99]

I never have pain issues... only a couple times... Grapeseed is fine...

Lay down have someone do it for you, DONT TENSE YOUR MUSCLES!

I inject 4cc in 15 seconds.

I am on an HGH cycle and have been injecting in my stomach. I have heard from two different friends that visited two different doctors that injecting into fat hinders the HGH b/c we carry estrogen in our fat that blocks it. Therefore the preferred injection site for optimal results is in the shoulder. Is this true?

Start your own thread bro.

Is cottonseed oil prefered? I always hear that sterile oil is the best to cut prop with...is cottonseed oil considered a sterile oil? Sorry, I'm a little lost on the subject.

[binsser]

as mentioned above just relax and get someone to do it for u or do it urself dont tense and the pain is almost nothing!

im on prop at the moment 4 week in and its getting easyer now with hardly any pain i dont mix or heat it i just inject slowly and its fine!
