Hey guys,
I’m looking for some tips on dealing with the pain from Test Prop injections. I’m using Brovel 100mg/ml prop for a short 2-week cutting cycle at 1g per week. It takes days for the soreness to go away and it’s disrupting my workouts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Is there any T Prop product out there that has a denser concentration than 100mg/ml? That would help since I’d need less shots per week.
Peace!
As for heating the oil before yo inject - here’s what I do:
As soon as I get my syringe loaded, I fold it up in a heating pad, and head off to the shower. By the time I get out of the shower, the oil is nice and hot. No injection pain whatsoever. It’s a little sore the next day, but by the third - no pain at all.
Ok, well let me explain. There’s no pain upon injection. It sets in hours later and makes the area sore and stiff. Are you thinking that the heating upon injection would stop this from happening?
I thought you were talking about injection pain as in when you are injecting. I get the same soreness and tightness, but it sets in the day after an injection and is gone by the day after that.
How fast are you injecting? Try heating the oil, and injecting very slowly (1cc/minute) like BBB said. I notice that when I rush the shot I have a lot more soreness than when it is injected really slow.
Hmmm? I inject at a normal rate so maybe that is a good idea. I will also try the heating thing.
Thanks guys!

The heating of the syringe seems to help though, don’t know why but it does…
BTW - Rainjack, what is this ‘heating pad’ you speak of?

It’s a 1 foot by 1 foot square pad that’s maybe a half inch thick. It has a matrix of elements inside the pad that, when plugged in, will heat up. Kind of like an electric hot water bottle. Folks over on this side of the pond use it for muscle aches. But it works really well for heating oil in the syringes.
I’m not trying to poke fun but that little back and forth on the “heating pad” you boys just had is some funny shit.LOL!

What the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Heating your syringe usually will do the trick. The prop ache (that bruised feeling you get a few hours after the shot) has to do with which solvents were used to dissolve the powder, the purity of the powder itself, and also the pH of the propionate ester (i think). An extremely pure propionate will not hurt hardley at all, however from what i’ve read most powders are around 80% pure. However, ache-free propionate does exist.
All I know is that the slower I inject, the less it hurts.
So should I hold it under hot water until it’s warm enough that the stuff feels warm going in? Would that be good?
Heres my rule of thumb: I will let the water in the bathroom sink run till its hot, then i flush the toilet and hold the syringe under the water (in the sink, not the toilet) and by the time the toilet is done filling up the syringe is more than warm enough to feel pleasant. Not the most environmentally friendly timer, but effective. Bonus: warm oil flows through insulin pins way way better than room temp stuff does.
I’ve experimented with just putting syringes in a mug filled with hot tap water but it takes a lot longer to get them acceptably warm. Just be careful that a) the cap is tightly on the syringe and b) you don’t get the oil too hot, because that can hurt as much/more than any prop will.

You’re screwed on this one bro. Propionate ester resembles bee venom chemically. This closeness of chemical structure is what causes many people to get the prop pain and others to get the full on inflamation as if they were actually stung by a bee. Since that’s your case you will have to just forget it unless you try dissolving it with another As like nondrolone phelypropionate. Of instead of prop, try phelyprop.
The same thing…and I’d laugh while I typed it:-)
