I’m using 25g, 5/8 to inject 0.35ml of test to thighs. I’ll feel a little pinch, a little discomfort while injection, be fine, but the next 3 days the injected thigh is really sore. I’m on my 2nd week of injection, the HCG subq injections to stomach are painless, but I don’t want to inject t-cyp subQ to belly.
The soreness can be so bad the 2nd day that I have to limb a bit on the affected leg. Should I switch to a higher gauge needle? Or should I try a different spot? Maybe deltoid?
Try different spots on your leg (best spot for me is vastus lateralus). Other muscles are good to hit too, I use my pec and deltoid.
I still get sore spots every now and then even if I have a smooth injection, it will get better the better you get at injecting. I use 27g 1/2 inch.
I use 29G insulin syringes, there are places it’s painful to inject and places where I feel nothing.
Shoulders.are pretty painless with High gauge. Sub q is even better and works for me and many other people. You can load both test and hcg into the same syringe and have zero lost t.
Inject in the green areas I circled. You will never have pain, or even see a blood drop again. Close to the mid line, mid section. The further away you go, the more pain and blood…
Careful with that bit it tends to be a bit more fatty so it using smaller needles could be sub q
I tried deltoid today and it’s painfree with the 25g 5/8, so far it’s been 12 hours since injection and no pain at site.
