I don’t get swelling and redness but I heat my vials so the oil is warm and I massage the injection site post pin

Pin in the morning prior to training and run the syringe under warm water. Only had noticeable swelling once and I think it was from injecting too deep into the muscle

Are you using MCT oil? Try injecting a little slower and rotate sites. Like the other guys mentioned try heating the oil as well. If you still get some inflammation maybe try a different carrier oil.

It shouldnt swell at all.

Ibuprofen but it will mask the real problem and the real problem is the oil that you pin.
Change the ugl,oil or ester to avoid this

You aren't using Test E right?

I gave in and bought one of these handheld massage guns. Maybe coincidence, but haven't had much PIP in recent memory. Use after every pin for about 20 seconds. It's loud and not exactly a "soft" massage, fwiw.

What length needle? only time I get swelling is when I go sub q

 

[Gatorboy]

27g 1/2 inch

Thought so you prob went sub q. Buy some longer needles nothing crazy 5/8 will do fine for shallow IM. Or just ram that .5" needle deeper when you inject
