injection swelling - again!

[stevelunny]

Hi there

I wrote last week because my first shot (2nd cycle) of test opionate caused pain, swelling, some redness and warmth, but ended up going away and i chalked it up to a bad angle or not enough depth with teh needle. my sterilization is always very thorough.

I injected into the other glute last Friday and now have an even worse situation - the swelling is really bad and the pain is medium.

Is it possible I will react like this through the whole cycle? The test is from a pharmacy btu could it be tainted somehow?

onmy first cycle i did test e with only moderate pain ever.

thanks for any input!

Sounds like youre using test propionate which is notorious for the injection site swelling and pain. What you are experiencing is not out of the ordinary. It doesnt have to be that way though. Some props out there arent nearly so bad, still some discomfort. Id say whatever you have is either a) too high dosed and or b) too much BA/BB. BA/BB are the solvents used to dissolve in the oil. If the brew is made right it wont swell or hurt much at all.

could be this plus your inj. technique. what you have is a sterile abcess. ive always had a rule of thumb. never inj. prop. anywhere below the waist.

if you have test cyp from a pharmacy...i take it is to be trusted! then you are allergic to the alcohol in the mix or something in its make up. I've seen it before
Ive also seen primo react like that in some ppl. Honestly, unless you have test 400 it's not the cyp....that shit is painless no matter who mixes it @250mg/ml

if it is from a pharmacy they most likely used bb in the conversion process....

some ug's or homebrewer's only use ba in the mix ....

anyhow if its bothering u that bad twist off a needle off one of you syinge's and stick it in the top of the vial and bake it at 220 for 20min or so.... you can also do this in a frying pan for 20min on a low heat...

also you may aquire some sterile oil to cut it with from a research company....

Also i assume u have more than one vial for a cycle so i would open up another vial and see if the same thing happens again.

if you are using amps then your only solution really is to mix some sterile oil in with the test in the syinge at the time of the injection.

hopwe that helps

i had that problem when injecting in my glutes. so i switched to quads and now starting in my shoulder a little and its a thousand times better. fuck glute shots. & yeah it sounds like prop. i shot prop the other day and it swelled my leg up for a week

 

[stevelunny]

You're right! It *is* Cypionate. I only have one bottle (1 ml/week for 10 weeks).

I always inject into glutes because i've never had a problem. the one time i injected into my quads (test e on first cycle), I was limping for days with big swelling around the knee so I never went back.

I am worried if I injected somewhere else I'd get a similar reaction that would mess me up even more and possibly be more visible.

IS there a chance I'll get used to it? Is it still effective despite the swelling and pain?

buy some steril oil and throw a 1/2 ml of oil in each pin before drawing

if you cant find a vial of sterile oil to buy youi can make your own

go to gpz services
buy a .45 whatman filter
bu a .22 whatman filter
buy a 100ml vial open
buy a 100ml sterile vial
buy a 5 or 10ml syringe
go to gnc buy a bottle of 100% pure grape seed oil

filter 100ml grape seed oil thru the .45 whatman into the open vial
take that 100mlf filtered oil and run it through the .22 whatman filter into the sterile vial


if yoiu really wanted to stick up you could pick up a couple of 100ml vials and just filter all the oil into them..the whatmans should last since there really isnt any gunk getting caught up in the filter

Where are you injecting in your quad? You might have gone too low for your body.

You can also use safflower oil. Someone warned me that grapeseed oil can give you the shits, so I decided to use safflower oil. It works great. I am using test prop, and it use to hurt like hell! After mixing 1 cc prop and 1cc of safflower oil, no pain...pain free! It was a miracle, I almost quit my cycle due to the pain, it was horrible.

why?

anything below the waist may leave you crippled for a week. anything above is easier to tollerate.
