The first time I pinned 2 cc's of PEP's test-E in my (virgin) glute, it ended up becoming a knot. A day later some redness appeared and was hot to the touch. I payed close attention to this. I was really worried that I was getting some sort of abscess. The pain was tolerable, but when I say tolerable I mean it hurt bad (a little limping, just a bit worse than my previous first-injections) , but I got over it within 4 days, with pain subsiding slowly after the second day. I started pm'ing members asking if anyone has had any similar PIP. Many responded 'yes', almost all of them advised me to cut it with another oil. So when it came to to pin again, I pinned mixing 1cc of test E and 1CC of EQ, 2X a week instead. Once I cut the test-e at 1:1 ratio PIP pretty much became obsolete. Of course I had the usual soreness a day later, but I really feel that once I diluted it 1:1 with my EQ, everything fell into place.
As far as what I encountered during the first pin: it wasn't an abscess. Nothing started to form underneath my
Skin besides knotted muscle. I took my temperature about 9 times, and at no point was i running a fever, experiencing pitting edema, etc. Several people just told me it was probably because it is dosed higher than standard test-E (250/ml), and advised me to cut it.
Anyways, for what it's worth, I took the advice of cutting the oil with my EQ, and I haven't had another problem since, besides normal PIP. If you have the option of cutting the oil, I definitely suggest it. It was a game-changer for me.
I hope you feel better, my redness wasn't as profound as yours.
How is the pain now?
