Pain Still After 2 Cycles

Hello all I know I’m new on the forum names john and have searched and search on Google but I will ask my question here.
I was doing test e 1cc twice a week. In my quads.
I heated the gear and used a 25g pin. Did everything sterile and by the book.
But for a week each leg would hurt like all hell. Not immediately the day after is when it would start to hurt. Only thing that would make it some what bare able was to take a hot bath and Motrin.

Question is. Is it because I didn’t do a hard enuff leg work out. Or was my gear bad.
Like I said please no negativity I’m on here for advice. Also perhaps help me find a way to order my own stuff. Instead of going thru word of mouth on the street lol… Thanx
