Injection site pain

[joshag]

Yeah I know this one has been done before and I have done the searches but I was hoping for an experienced, informed answer. I am experiencing crippling pain several hours after an injection. Very much like Test Prop. I have been pinning my quads for some time now and this has never happened. Pain can last for up to 4 days after it's pinned. Also got fever like chills for the first time in my life and they lasted for about 2 days???

Test E 250mg/ml
If I was an expert I wouldn't come seeking help but here is the deal: I am not new to gear as I have been doing it off and on for about 10 years. The gear is home brewed by me (I can see the eyes rolling already) and I am not new to this either.

This is not the first batch with this powder so I can hopefully rule that out. I have just finished a batch I made with this powder at 200mg/ml with no pain (trt).
Using a conversion calculator I used 2% BA so I don't see this as the problem. BB was also used, but again I used the same calculator I have always used.
Trying to eliminate the "human error" factor I made a second batch with very little BB and 1% BA to compare. Same result.

Any ideas?

I have been brewing at 200mg/ml for about 2 years and this is the first 250mg/ml in about 4 years back when I was using it recreationally. Could my body be having that much of a problem with the extra 50mg/ml? Can't figure it out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Think I might have the answer but I need confirmation. With the increased hormone ratio I could feel the difference in the thickness of the final product. Definitely noticeable when running through a Whatman and loading a pin. Perhaps it's just the gear sitting in the muscle and not moving. No lump just pain. Again, I'm not an expert.

Basically, there are 3 possibilities: 1) Your stuff is not sterile. I know you are experienced in brewing your gear but you can't rule this out. In pharmaceutical industry every batch produced is always tested on presence of microbes. There's a good reason for this.
2) Your gear is crystalizing inside the muscle. Can make pain like hell. There are too many factors playing some role here so heating the stuff can sometimes help and sometimes it won't.
3) You are using a very high concentration. This is probably the reason in your case. Try to dilute your gear - why not make 150 mg/ml solution?

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to go with option 3. I have used this powder batch before and have had no sterility issues. There is no sign of infection at the injection site. No heat, swelling, etc...
My previous batches were at a lower concentrate 200mg/ml with no issues.

Thanks again.

I would recommend heating the oils up before u inject. Try that first and see if it helps any at all..

I ve Been using my bed buddy heat pack... Heat it up... Lay vials on top fold over... Let sit for 5-10 min... Withdraw, inject, then apply heat pack to site for 5 min... Work great for me, with ED injections of 1.5 ml... (tren,test,mast)

I'll try heating afterwards. I too have, in my time, injected up to 3mls at one sitting. As far as heating before I always try and warm vile in hot water before injecting. It does seem to be thicker than previous batches and I can only think that this is because of the increased hormone amount.

Thanks for all the reply's and suggestions.
