Post Injection Soreness Questions

[scifentology]

Hey guys, I've just started TRT about 2 weeks ago and have a few questions. I've had 2 injections so far and I must say for the next 4-5 days the muscle is fuck sore! The injection itself is not painful its just the days following. I can handle the soreness but it does interfere with workouts and what not as it is pretty sharp. Now i've heard 2 things on this forum "suck it up pussy injections hurt" and "TRT doesn't have to hurt". I've also been told by a friend the reason its so sore afterwards is maybe because of my compound? Its from a compounding pharmacy and its all in one solution... it reads: 1ML=1mg Anastrozole/200mg Test Cyp/50mg Test Prop. Benzyl Alcohol 3% Benzyl Benzoate 25% in ethyl Oleate. I inject once a week(1ML) on Mondays, one of my buddies who has been on the needle for a long time told me it's so painful because the amount of benzyl alcohol. So i guess my questions are does the pain get better after a certain number of injections on each site? Or should I try to get them to compound it with less benzyl alcohol? and if so how much. Thanks for any info and advice, good forums here.

Maybe splitting the injections up into 2 small doses a week could help. What size pins are you using? Maybe a smaller pin. Heating up the oil before injection. Injecting at a slower pace. I'm pretty new to injections also and haven't had any pain but these are some things I have read to help make things as easy and painless as possible.

It's not unusual to be sore for 4-5 days. 1mg is pretty minimal so the compound you're using may not completely agree with your system. As long as you're not having any other symptoms like fever or significant redness and can tolerate the soreness, use the rest and try a different formula next round. Some guys have issues with different test formulas. Could be test c or test p? No way to tell because you're using a blend. Hang in there. One last thing, some have less pain depending on the injection site. I pin my glutes, but many find it difficult. I use glutes due to the dose amounts and it also doesn't interfere with lifting for me. (Even with squats)

What kind of compound is that?!? Let me guess, you are going to an anti aging clinician. Way too high a dose for true TRT.

Been pinning for many years and it shouldn't be painful. I am guessing the compound pharmacy is using too much BA.

Why exactly are you on "TRT" at age 22?

The answer seems self evident but, is this a self diagnosis and treatment ?

More importantly what lab work has been conducted and what are your ""TRT" goals?

Oh and of interest although Ethyl Oleate is used by some compounding pharmacies as a solvent, it is NOT approved by the FDA for parenteral drug administration.

Oh yea that's a COMPOUNDING PHARM and some anti-aging clinic that more likely than not will create more problems than you already have OP.

Go see a real doc! Did that already and he likely said: your TT level is fine and supplementation is NOT warranted, take his advice!

That's the voice of experience!
