Soreness after injection

[blastfit]

I have been taking testosterone via both SubQ and intramuscular (IM) injections and have tried several methods to reduce soreness, inflammation, and lumps:

Warming the vial before injection for smoother oil flow

Using small volumes for SubQ (0.30 mL)7 days a week 1ml twice a week for IM and appropriate needle sizes for IM

Injecting slowly to minimize tissue trauma

Pinching skin for SubQ and relax muscle for IM

Rotating injection sites to avoid repeated trauma (abdomen, love handles, delts, quads, glutes) thighs

Gently massaging the area after injection to disperse the oil

Applying ice or warm compresses for soreness

Taking Naproxen or Cetirizine to manage pain, swelling, or mild allergic reactions


Despite all these precautions, I still experience redness, soreness, occasional lumps, and sometimes pain in the muscle that makes walking or moving difficult for after IM injections.” all the inflammation coming 1-2 days after the injection on subq and IM. I using Nakon test e 250
I tryed IM for 2 months. But the pain get so horrible that I had problem to walk. I have using 30g needle same results as if I using 25 g or 27g . Even in my glutes I get the pain. When I changed to subq. I using 30g 8mm needle. Sorry for long post. But I try to find a solution to continue. I don't know about its the brand that do it? But I already stocked up for a year with blast and cycle

There have been reports of pip issues with Test E for several months. Have you tried Test C for comparison?

Also, when you pin IM what is the needle length and how lean are you? Sometimes going deeper versus shallow can make a difference (that’s what she said). And if there is even a small risk of pip I’d personally avoid quads completely. I rarely ever pin quads anymore because of past issues.

And lastly, I never pin gear subq. I always get lumps and a little pip regardless of the compound.

 

[blastfit]

I haven't tried test c . I would say I have around 18 prosent bodyfat at the moment. I have tryed 23 g x 1 1.4 in glutes . 25 g x 1 in thigh.

 

[Ghoul]

It's not the technique, or location. It's Test-E.

I doubt it's a coincidence that Test-E remains plentiful while Test-C is starting to show signs of shortage. Reports of Test-E pip have been common for a while now, despite a small minority saying they don't get any.

Swap to Test Cyp, draw with a 22 or 23 and inject with a NEW 1" 25g in the thigh. Painless.

 

[blastfit]

Thanks. I would see and try to see about i can get hand on something. 6 vials of testo E in the trash then if this helps .
But is it any reason Test E give this pain pip and not Test C? Because I buyed it from a dealer here . With good reputation. If nothing have changed at Osgear?

It's something wrong with the way recent Chinese Test-E raws are made, which all underground labs use. Pharma doesn't have this problem.

 

[BigDadd7]

I'm assuming this is probably 250mg/ml, and you're pinning 1 ml twice a week? I wouldn't trash it necessarily. Either save it for trt when it's only .5 ml total per week (.25/pin), or use it in the future low dose with some deca or something.

Small amounts of E don't cause as much pip IM. I never like oil subq, it's always lumpy or burny for me.

 

[sionnach]

It could be a ton of things tbh. As @Ghoul said, it could be the common test E issues. It could be a mild allergic reaction to the carrier oil (my body doesn't like cottonseed or sesame). It could be irritants in your particular brand used to aid solubility. Could be a higher % of BA/BB.
Could also just be your body is tired of you jamming substances into it where it doesn't belong.
it's hard to say. Gonna be difficult to troubleshoot without more data

Btw I'd just dial it back before I hammered the Naproxen. That's nasty shit.

 

[blastfit]

Hello . Yes is 250mg pr ml . i pin 1 ml twice a week . Totally 500mg a week . I would save it for the future and try when I only take 0.5 ml injection on the cycle.
I also get answer from Osgear." Please be informed that for Enanthate ester, in manufacturing process is used a small quantity of solvent and that is ethyl oleate. The PIP could be a reaction to the solvent.'

 

[sionnach]

ethyl oleate

Get some decent gear and do some hypothesis testing? That would be my approach.

The OP could send his product in for GCMS testing to see if there's a bunch of free carboxylic acid in his Test E. That's one theory behind all the PIP issues. Incomplete esterification in the raws used to make the products. Test E always worked great for me but I used this great gear supplier named Hikma. Super smooth.

I have never knowingly used EO so can't speak for how I respond to it. I don't want it in stuff I use either.

Is this the first UG China gear you’ve ever used? EO is common.

 

[blastfit]

Yes it is

[BamaCrazy]

Yes it is

Then you have two things to rule out. Whether you react negatively to EO, or whether Test E in general is your issue. If you have some Domestic Test E and Test C, plus some China Test C you can have a fun experiment.

I would I just need to find it . And a trustworthy site to buy from. Any hint would be appreciated. I'm located in Europe.

I have similar issues with test-e from 2 different sources (really any teste from the past 10 years or so) and current sustaviron amps. I filter everything. I switched back to doc prescribed walgreens supplied test c and no pain/soreness at any injection site.

Solid f'n source! We need to have a source thread for those guys.
