Little lump after delt shot. Big problem?

[Jake1012]

I did a delt injection today (.5 sus, .8 npp) with 27g .5 in. After the shot it bled a big then I noticed a small lump and slight pain for about an hour after. I left the needle in for a second and pulled out slowly after the shot like I always do. I've read sometimes the oil can come back up and leak into the subq tissue which is what this seems like. Do I have anything to worry about or just let it absorb?
I'm relatively new to delt shots I've been using them 2x weekly for about 6 weeks but only doing 100mg of cyp each injection. Just started a blast so it's about 3x the volume. I'm thinking I may need to start using the 25g 1in pins I have to make sure this doesn't happen again.

You're probably fine. I use 1/2 inch needles for delt shots too, this happens sometimes. Keep an eye on it, if it still hurts after 3 or 4 days and also turning red then you have a problem. Otherwise, shit happens. Next time bury that needle deep.

Protip - also next time warm up your oils, it's like an internal oil massage for your deltoids and give that puppy a rubdown after, its'a verry niice.

I'd stick with at least a 1" needle. I've noticed if I pull out too slow I'll get a simular bump at times. Pull out a little quicker then apply pressure immediately to stop bleeding. I'll hold some folded up tp on the site a good 30 seconds. No more bump.

I also always warm up the syringe under hot water.

I do the same. I've been hitting it here and there with the massage gun all day too

I had an infection once from a glute shot that went subdermal but I determined it was from the DHB. That stuff gave me nothing but issues

Just stick with 1 inch pins , Probably didn't get deep enough into the muscle

When I'm doing a delt shot with oil it's usually such a small amount that I'll use an insulin syringe. I've found some easy touch 27g 5/8" Not much bigger than 1/2" but gets the oil in just a little deeper.
I just can't justify using a 1" with a 1cc syringe in the delts, you get like .03 wastage with each one which is like 20%of the volume I'm injecting.

I agree never gone wrong with 1” pin, try doing warm compresses and massage the area to help dissipate the oil into the muscle

Also delts don't hold a lot of oil at one time so 1cc seems like a safe max. Once did a delt shot too deep and it ended up leaking into the shoulder joint causing massive irritation there.

They make non-dead space syringes….

I've never found one that is truly zero dead space. If you have any you know of let me know. The 1cc barrels i got are supposed to be low dead space but still waste like .03 which doesn't seem worth it on a .15 or .3ml shot

29g 1/2 inch, daily shots, smaller quantities of oil. Delts and quads.

You’ll minimize scar tissue and never have lumps again

Wholly cow!!!! Whats up brother??? Really good to see you!!!!! Yeah, had a lot of life distractions the last few years. Career change, divorce and all that fun stuff.. haha. Never stopped training though. I hope all is well with you brother!!

.03…..add in extra then, then there is no other way, might as well not do any….i think thats .05 cents of waste, not even probably 1 penny worth.

I posted before but my big problem with 29g is getting the damn bubble to completely exit without wasting precious drops of man juice trying (not aproblem with 25g). Would warming the oil help?

If there’s a tiny bubble it doesn’t matter at all brother, just get most of it out and pin it.
