Injection site question

[chewybones34]

I’ve never pinned pecs so I can’t give advice to that. Quads are my least favourite spot but I do it on the couch with leg elevated and I just try to pick a meaty spot

I did teo shots in my right glute consecutively 0.5 and 1.0ml. Its been killing me today, suuper sore. is that normal?

Watch for swelling, redness, and warm to touch. If really worried see a doc. Odds are you are fine.

Again rotate sites, asking for trouble to oun same spot over and over again

Injection volume determines sit location.

I'd stay below 0.5ml and do more frequent injections. The smaller the volume the more sites open up for use.

Lats are my favorite, delts, triceps, lower back, glutes. That's a lot of places to stick with constant rotation.

how quickly would the swelling or redness show up?

Typically a couple days

Redness can show up 24hrs later.

However I have had stuff that was completely pain free for 10+ days and suddenly a huge welt appears and those are painful and can take up to 30-40 days to disappear. It's not an abscess, it's just one of those times when you have to pitch the vial and chalk it up to an unknown problem, you don't mess with vials like this, they go in the trash.
