post-injection swellig questions

[rb26dett]

Hi guys

Im on my first cycle, first 3 shots went fine, but Ive got some pretty good swelling on my
right cheek on the 4th shot, Pain went away after 3-4 days as usual, but the sweeling is still there. No redness, no big signs of infections since it does not really feel warmer. My upper cheep also feels very hard. Ive used 21gauge/1inch and shot 300mg test mixed with 200mg deca.

Im guessing this happend because I injected in the same cheek 2 injections in a row (monday+thursdaay) instead of switching, or maybe I might have moved the needle a bit while it was in, causing the sweeling. What do you guys think? and what should I do to make the swelling go away

Thanks

I got the same thing 2 weeks ago...it just went away. I am not the greatest at glute injections.

BTW, you have a Skyline GT-R? Nice

Rotate your injection sites...you may want to consider a 1 1/2" pin if your BF is high...also go with a 23g bro...21 is ouch....rub the site after injection you might just have too much oil in that muscle

My BF is good, but my butt is kind of chubby so I might go with 1.5inch from now on. Will the oil go away by itself? What should I do for now, before the next injection, so the swelling goes away?

I agree with enacer, use a 1.5 inch pin and smaller barrel. (I must be a real wus, because I go with a 25g!) Anyway, as he said, rub the site after you inject throughly and rotate eot. That is a significant amount of oil for one shot, so you may want to consider splitting that up if the problem continues after you make the changes. I've also been known to use a blowdryer to warm the oil up to make it easier to inject. (I'm sure if I went to a larger - 23g pin, that would help with the injection pressure.)

The oil deposit should disperse after awhile though so you should be ok.
