Injection Pain: What to Know, What to Do!

I am running sustanon and 7 days ago I had a buddy who was telling me the best place to pin and where he pins with absolute no pain was the lower part of the leg on the outside crevess where the quad meets the ham. The first 2-3 days after I couldn’t hardly walk along with swelling and terrible pain. Then tuesday 4 days after I noticed the whole lower part of my leg swollen.

Took ibuprofen and aspirin and the swelling in the lower half of my leg went down. but, there is still some swelling and tons of pain around the site, outer quad, and along the right side of my knee. I’m walking normal but it still hurts like hell to curl my leg and to try to squat down is impossible. any ideas what could be going on would greatly be appreciated. like I said it’s been 7 days now…and there is no edema

love it. I didn’t read all the responses, however I would also like to add the “sore muscle” pain you get. Which is totally normal :slight_smile:

123

Great post! A friend just asked me this question and i now have a more defined answer to give. Thanks

124

Been reading this thread for a couple of times and perhaps I did not see it but here is my question:
As I finally had the last susta shot something strange hapened. The skin around the injection site is numb, not to numb but numb nuff to feel strange, the actual question is wth hapened?
I always get pain, swelling, redness, hot skin, etc but never numb skin. The first injections made my muscle mush, could hardly flex it but after a few that went away and was left with the usual hard bumps and pain.
Using susta 250 pakistan.
Any ideas?
P.S vastus lateralis is the muscle in question.

Either start taking 600mg of ibuprofen and hope the swelling goes down.

Or go to the hospital and let them load you up with a silly amount of antibiotics.

If you dont have a fever you probably dont have an infection. But you may wind up with a sterile abscess. Its impossible to diagnoes this stuff on the internet. Personal experience is the only real way to be sure.

I have yet to be sore after pinning. Delt was sore for a couple hours that’s it. Does that mean I’m doing it wrong? Although Ive found that I have an unusual high tolerance to supplements and oral roids… Related u think?

128

Correct me if I wrong here, but wouldnt ice be condidered a hiderence to recovery for test-cyp as it promotes crystalation? I know that cyp is prone to forming crystals if stored below room temp, so freezing the area would be the same, no?

Great stuff, thanks a lot!

Hey guys … New too this, this was VERY helpfull, i recently just got a very nasty infection called ’ celluitis ’

This was the result before hand

and afterwards

I was exepreinceing all these symptoms, felt like somebody was smacking my leg as i moved it and it was very very hot.

I went to hospital after the 5th day not the 3rd, now that remains is a lump being treated by oral antibiotics after 3 days of the iv drip on 5 hr intervals non stop. It was very unpleasent. Not sure if i hit a blood vessel or was just something in the gear that my body didn’t like because i know of other people using the same gear with no problems. IE my brother and our mates.

This post is nothing but 100% accurate. Thankyou for the information !

Hey guys, rly new to this site, just googled some injection pain stuff and i found this article really interesting,(only got thru page one mostly) I REALLY NEED SOME HELP HERE!!!
So, Ive been injection my dealts normally, there is usually pain but its bearable enough for me, its usually hard and painful at the injection site. Today is friday, so last sunday i tried for the first time injection the same Testosterone Enathate 250mg int0 my quad,(also the first time actually injecting my self as well) and now im in the most pain ever, and im walking like a zombie from dawn of the dead.

My needles and equipment was sterile out of the package, and i sanitized the area like 4 times b4 i inject, cuz i get paranoid, but i use a sanatizer called “hypa clean” which is like 70% alcohol, Ive always been using this so i dont think that its the problem here. Anyhow, im in the most pain ive ever been in my life, the area is hard, very minor swelling visible tho, the area isn’t any hotter than my other thigh, no redness, its just very hard and it hurts like hell, i don’t have any flu like symptoms, no fever or anything, just painnnnnn, and i can barely walk, sign of infection?

the injection was on sunday, and since monday the pain has not gotten any better or worse, it just hurts allotttt, I thought it wudve resided by now, but it hasnt. PLZZ help me. However to be honest, I did not aspirate :(, as it was the first time i was injecting my self and i was shakkkingg like hell, i tried to aspirate but i cudnt get my two hands coordinated properly to get the asperation done! lol :(…so i just pushed the gear in, and hoped for the best!:cry: Plz lend some advise!

Probably just pain from injecting virgin muscle and if you were shaking a lot that can cause more trauma which can cause more pain. Take some ibprofin and see if that helps. Keep an eye on it, if it starts getting red and swollen and when you push down on the injection site and its spongy like then that’s the sign of Infection.

Ok man, well b4 i found this article, i was using a heat pad on the spot, thought the test mite have been crystallized and that’s wat was causing the pain, now im trying the ice stuff, gonna see if it helps, this is the 2nd day of work im gonna miss now man, this shit is too unbearable. I don’t think it will really get any worse tho, infection wise…its just still hard and painful, very minimum swelling, no flu like feeling, its not hot, i hav no fever, just hurts like fuck, but i’ll keep looking out for the sings still. Any one else has any opinions on wats wrong with my foot? was gona go to the doctor today, but I dont rly want to if its not necessary.

Any more advice on this post guys? almost two weeks now and im still not back to normal. Most of the pain and swelling has gone away, but my leg is still stiff and I cant flex my knee joint to bend my leg right back still. Am i going to die? LOL. Ive been icing it alot and stuff, think that helped a bit, but jeez, this is 1 week and 4 days now since i fucked up my self, didnt expect this to last so long, since it wasnt infected :S

I’ll try to make this short. Gear- testoprim 200Test E/ 50mg Prop. Week 10 of my first blast and cruise. 8 weeks blast 4 weeks cruise. My training partner has been using this stuff with years with no problems except painful injection sights. From the start I was getting the flu and fevers the day after pinning and would last 1-3 days. These symptoms slowly lessoned after week six but would still come on mildly every now and then. I pinned my delt for the first time on Thursday and got the same flu symptoms as before only I had a chest infection and there was redness that spread down my arm about 3 inches from elbow joint. It seemed to get a bit bigger by today. Some warmth in the area but hard to tell since I’ve been having fevers. Fevers seem to be going away though. What you guys think?

I bought the 5/8 for quads (very lean) and Delts (also very lean) but upper glutes have a little more to push through before hitting muscle… So I guess I am just curious.

4th all symptoms are mostly gone.

138

Man I hope I never experience anything like some of the difficulties like I’ve read some have had. I get a pretty warm, swollen lump from pinning Test-E but, it’s gone in about 5-6 days. It’s pretty tender for those 5-6 days though…usually leaning all day on the opposite cheek!

Might be too short for the glute depending on the layer of fat (if any) that you have. Of course, I may be going to long at an inch and a half.

If have been getting pain after every injection. Lasting up to a week sometimes more. The spot usually gets swollen, looks like a golf ball. It’s usually rally sore to the touch as well as super hard? Any ideas? I feel like this shouldn’t be happening as much as it should. Any feed back would be great
