1st self inject

yeah i so releaved i was able to do it myself but not sure if its a bad thing but where i did my 2 1/2 injects there are 2 small bumps and where my friend did the other sust shot its still kinda sore and a big bump...should i always inject 1/2 in one spot and 1/2 in the other? i was thinking of doing something like that to prevent as much of the soreness as i can with sust...had an idea for mirrored injections...1/2 on both sides (ex. right tri, left tri or right delt, left delt...) what do you guys think about this idea?

don't worry about the small bumps, unless they become overly warm and/or inflamed.
If you want to encourage them to go away next time you shoot, massage the area with moderate pressure right after injection. This helps encourage your injected substance to disperse among the muscle tissue rather than forming a large pocket of oil and gear which can look like the lump you've described.
As far as splitting injections, you don't really need to split them up unless you're doing injections of more than 2mL per site. If you were doing 2mL deca, 2mL sust, 1mL winny, you could inject 1 in your delt, 1 in your quad, and inject the 1mL winny in your glute to minimize possible pressure on your sciatica (don't hit that MF; it hurts like nobody's business... never done it myself, but I've seen some of the boys walking like they had cerebral palsy for a couple of days).
Have a good one; happy sticking!

yeah the lumps i am cool with...1st 2 shots (in the fatty tissue) i had didnt have a lump till 3 days later than turned red and looked like a rash...waited for them to go away and then injected in the muscle and it got bumpy right away and was sore for acouple days...starting to go down...i liked the results with the one in the muscle better...sounds like what everyone else had, the first 2 i was nervous about and thought maybe it was an allergic reaction or infection but luckily it went away and all is good now....i am just hoping that the 2 i did today hit the muscle and not fatty tissue thats why i keep making sure i have a lump there now not 3 days from today like the 1st 2 i had

If you're really serious about doing IM injection, you should probably get your hands on some 1-1/2" pins. If you're in the states, check out getpinz.com (there's a thread on this somewhere else), and if you're not then check out medic-tools.com. Being in Canada, I can't ship from getpinz but I find medic-tools just fine.

Here a lil tip when you're pulling the protective cover off of the needle give it a clockwise turn it will help it tighten up more-that same thing happened to me on my first inj.unlike you i lost the whole1 cc because i was pushing the plunger when it happened.4banger said:i have been on sust250 for about 1 1/2 weeks (4 shots) but i had one of my friends do everyone so far...today i wanted to try it myself...oh the fun that was...i was shaking so much that when i tried to asperiate i pulled the whole needle out...which is good because i had a bad gusher so i must of either been in a vein or hit one...then i got my hand to calm down and i did it again in a different spot...everything was going good but i was still alittle shaky and had to press, relax, press over and over and on one of my breaks the needle came out again...so then i clean everything again for the 3rd time and do my last poke...got the rest in...but its kinda funny on the first inject when it poped out mid inject there was .5ml left so i got 1/2 in each spot...maybe that will leave less of a bump/bruise like the other 4 i had....no pain no gain right?

Sounds like my first time having sex.
