Test flu/ pain.... Why???

[southcounty13]

Hello all. I was wondering if someone can help me. I have ran several cycles of test e and cyp and only sometimes I get the test flu and injection site pain. I have tried researching why this occours but I have read several different reasons. I was also wondering if using cottonseed oil would help with the flu and pain symptoms. I really don't mind the limping around for a few days it's mostly the flu that occurs within 24 hours of injection and literally puts me down for 24-48hrs, during that time I do not want to do anything but sleep... Any thoughts suggestions????

Sounds like a sanitary issue to me, infection and inflamation, but im no Doctor.

i'd have to second the sanitary issue. Considering your gear is fine, do you swab the vial before use, and use a new pin for every injection?

Also it could be the carrier or the concentration of the solvents used. I know different concentrations of BB, BA and the type of oil will affect people differently.

Yes, I swab the site, and top of vial. I also am very careful to wash my hands and use sanitizer. I also always use a new pins, one to draw and a new one to inject..

Could be a sanitary issue-what does injection site look like,is it red,swollen,tender to the touch.Could be dirty test?Or it could just be your bodys reaction to it.Make sure gear is sterilize(even resterilize if it ug and your not to sure about it)and make sure all pins and site are clean.

Ok thanks for the input guys. How can I sterilize the gear I currently have? I'll do it to see if that will make any difference. I will also try to cut it with cottonseed oil to see if that takes the pain away.

Bump. Anyone else had any luck by using cottonseed oil to help with the pain and or test flu?

Press on the injection site with a an alcohol swab using your finger tips really hard for 1-2 minutes after the injection. It does something for the intramuscular bleeding which is often times the cause of the soreness. I forgot where I read this but have yet to try it. Give it a shot.

I will try that. Thank you!
