Injection pain

[Anthony Starks]

Is it ever really painfully when you stick yourself with the needle? I use 23g 1.5" and it is always a realively pain-free procedure. Today when I was injecting glutes it felt like I was sticking myself with a knife. I changed needles and injection sites but still experienced the same pain. Ideas?

what are u injecting and how much? I would get my ass sore when I first started with sustanon 250, man those hurt like a bitch.

 

[Anthony Starks]

Its BD test enth 250, but its not the oil that hurts, its the needle going in. And its only happened once, usually 23g I barely feel. Ever experienced this?

OOH i know what you're talking about bro, yes that would happen to me often, now I changed the needle to 27g x 1 1/2" this year, so far so good. I used to use 23g x 1" for my glutes and 27" x 1" for my delts. but it seem like the oil would stay alomost right at the surface of the muscle (glute) and that would make like a little lump but no biggie, now with the 27" x 1 1/2" is much better I can hardly feel the needle going in, & 27" x 1" for my delts. I suggest to change it to 27g bro, that way you can prevent scar tisue and it's almost painless just a little bitty pinch.

Is it hard to get the oil through the needle with a 27g? I always heard it was, which is why I always went with 23g.

I honestly think I had a bad batch of pins once. I swear 30 pins in a box of 100 were dull as hell. I had to use FORCE to peirce the skin. Shouldn't happen like that, should be smooth as butter.

Thats exactly what it was like. Even when I switched needles it was still bad. Do the needles lose their point over time even factory sealed? Maybe I got a old batch.

I would guess this to be the case.

I've had the same thing once in a while... I've just switched pins and then good to go!

what about post injection pain? I've never had it as bad as right now. I'm doing prop and Npp together in the same shot and its been just killing up to the next three days! My quad shots put me on a limp for 3 days....its brutal.

 

[ocisbomb]

I limp for 3 days too. That's with QV test enanthate.

I've been injecting ed its getting tough. Good thing the results are showing nicely so I'll put up with it.

Did you inject in an area that you have before? Sometimes when sticking in a previous spot it would feel a bit different than before. I contribute this to the scar tissue that's healed recently and the soreness from before. Try sticking after you've been sunburned, that's the shits my friends.

I love terumo brand. real sharp i don't even feel it when it goes in just the oil. 27g it'll take about a 30 seconds bro to push one cc through it, nice and slow!

Before I got use to injecting and the very slight initial pin prick, I would use one of those Coleman reusable ice blocks where I was going to inject for a few minutes. Didn't feel a thing at all as the skin was very cold.
