Injection glute still sore.. rookie mistake?

[mrribbit]

You all think a 25 gauge needle might be why its so hard to push the plunger down?

A 25g is ok but mostly for delts and other places. A 23g should be used for glutes. I've even used a 18g once or twice for a glute inj. It wasn't by choice, it was all I had at the time. It def hurt more that 23g's do but it was probably sore only a day longer that usual. Get some 23g's bro and use them for the next inj. Keep us posted

No problem bro. I'm here to learn and help as much as I can. This place is great.

WELL... Haha.. it's not much better. It's kind of pink and blotchy over there. With a numb itch. Hit my 3rd inject on the left side yesterday and felt great. Today... haha. No reaction.. but, my ASS hurts bad on both sides. Maybe I'm not rubbing shots in good enough? Going to be a long cycle if I don't get better at this. HAHA!

Pink and blotchy but is the inj site warm to the touch? If so, you gotta go see a doc. Hopefully he's a doc that you can trust. I wouldn't worry too much about that though. The worst he could do is get your insurance cancelled. You prob need some antibiotics. I'd get it taken care of before it gets bad bro. Again, keep us posted.
