Delt injection went bad, help.

[Primal X]

After I injected in my left delt this morning I had a bump on the injection site that is still there. The pain is not bad but it is moderate. I injeted at the highest point when you lift you arm to the side. I used a 25g 5/8 needle. What the hell went wrong?? And what is this bump, and will it go away?

Well I can only speak from experiance, well for one what are ya useing?, you should use a 21g.... I personally am using finaplex and shooting in the delt as well, i my self stuck myself and have had that as well..... one it could be that you hit a line or broke a blood vessel. make sure to inject slow and make sure to clean very well and rubb spot after shot or you will have a scist in your delt ( from infection also causes swelling ) it will pass in a couple of days so don't worry if it stays for more than a week and gets worse take your ass to a doc................. later on and good luck......phiphi

The bump is either tissue swelling or tissue reaction to the gear, or possibly both.

You did not state what you injected. If it was anything containing any amount of BA, then the bump is normal.

It should subside within a day or so. If not, watch for signs of infection.

I would ONLY use 25 or 26g to inject in the delt. 21g is to fucking big when you can get it done with smaller.

cough, cough.....BULLSHIT!!
Why would you use a 21, I thought you were trying to build muscle tissue, not scar tissue!!

25 ga, 1 inch or 11/2 in are the way to go. I draw with 21 ga!!

I can't imagine you injected too fast with a 25g, but it is possible. Try 30-60 seconds for every ml. Then massage the area, and go take a hot shower, or go workout, preferbly upper body expercises that will get blood going through the shoulders. That helps me.

Never done delts, but something that works amazingly well for my glutes:

After taking the needle out, take an alcohol swab (use a swab, not the cotton), wipe the injection site, leave the swab on there and press as hard as you fucking can. Obviously don't try to injure yourself, but if you've ever had a deep tissue massage, that's what you should be doing to yourself. Leave it there for like 30s, then start massaging while you're all the way in.

it is not the gauge that is wrong (that just makes it harder to shoot), it is the lenght of the needle. 5/8 is an insulin needle,too short unless you're doing in lateral head of tirceps very small amounts. not surprising it gave you a lump. For delts use 1 1/4 inch.
