first injection pain

[icthus0718]

Did my first injection of test enanthate today...2cc's of 200mg/ml through a 23 gauge in the quad. Injection went pretty well, but the oil went through really slow, so I pulled out and injected again. Anyway, I felt an almost immediate knot after the inject was completed and now the area is incredibly tight and stiff. I just wanted to be sure that this is normal. Is a 23 gauge okay for enanthate? Lastly, I was only able to screw the needle into the syringe about half way...is this okay? Thanks for the help.

run the site with alcohol and massage it for a while(the muscle)

that's helpful...you can tell by his question that he did his research, he just needs a few answers, and wants a little confirmation that his leg isn't going to fall off...

anyway, keep an eye on it and make sure you don't notice any red lines going from the site towards you heart. Also, look for lumps and infections. Otherwise, I would guess that your leg is just sore because you moved the needle around (it is your first injection). Be sure to take your time and keep the needle still. Breath and don't be in a rush. 23 gauge is okay for oil, but I would not go any higher.

bro, no offense but before u stick anything sharp into your leg make sure u know exactly what you are doing. if the needle isnt screwing in right take it out and try it again until it screws in fine.

Yes the pain is normal after a quad shot. I did one yesterday and it had a small knot in it after for about an hour or so but then it felt fine and it only has a mild dull soreness 2day.

yes a 23g is fine. massaging the site or applying heat will help with any pain. as will light excercise that helps get the blood into the muscle. Also, try warming the test up before injecting. It helps with injecting...

23g is fine for the quads and the glutes. I use smaller, 25g, for delts, bi's, etc. Though if its your first time, just stick to the glutes and the quads. They are the easiest and should be less painful for you.

You should try this: inject into the muscle group about 1 hour before you work out that muscle group, I have found this all but eliminates any serious pain later. And after only an hour, it wont be sore yet, even if its going to get that way.
