Tips for pain-less injections without abscess

[Dr. JK]

1-Massage area before injecting
2-Use smallest needle possible
3-Look in area for veins (if can be seen)
4-Inject quickly, but carefully
5-Massage imediately after and keep masaging if there is a small lump from the injection
6-Try to inject while body is warm (after tanning, workout etc) for blood circulation
7-Use B-12 for painful esters (Suspension, Propinate, etc)
8-Avoid same spot for at least a week
9-Don't inject in or near sore places
10-Try to move around after injection for blood circulation

I do all of the above except for B-12. I only use it only when need to.

If anyobody has any other tips, please share them.

Good tips Doc,
I try to inject slowly rather then quickly as I find that less painfull.

To avoid infection I draw and stick with different pin. Swab vial with alchohol before drawing and use a different swab in injection sight to avoid infection. Sometimes I also shower before the shot.

Did first delt shot last night .5 cc in each delt. Right delt is fine, left is pretty sore today. I think it is because I moved pin around a bit while inside (unsteady hand). Site is red where pin went in but not inflammed but muscle is sore. I iced it last night and put some polysporin on this morning (not sure if that would help if there was an infection?). I'm a little paranoid about getting and infection...

Are you a doctor in the Toronto area? You have PM!! I have a couple of questions....

 

[Dr. JK]

5 cc is way too much in each shoulder. I never go more than 2 cc in each and only stick to water base (personal preference to avoid abscess)

I have never had an abscess (to be drained) nor an infection.
I did have lumps once in a while when the area gets a bit swollen from the the alcohol or something else in the ester.

I would just massage the sore shoulder and keep an eye on it. Don't inject in their until it clears up. If it was an infection you would know by now (area red, swollen, painful to touch, etc)

As far as being a doctor, yes I am a doctor, a juice doctor (LOL)

Hey bro,
Nah it wasnt 5 cc it was 0.5 of a cc.

Do you know where I can find a DR in the Toronto area that be willing to do the blood tests to monitor my health?

Good to have a DR in the house... When you have a moment, can you please check your PM messages. I have a few questions....

Thx!!

I would suggest injecting after you take a shower....keeps things clean and helps loosen the muscle, making injection easier.

how many CC is too much for each muscle???

becuase you can obviously put more in your ass muscle than you can in your delts.

So what is the 'rule of thumb' on this???

For painful gear, my program is:

1- heat up the gear first (put syringe under hot tap water for a couple minutes - this one really helps),
2- Inject slow
3- Massage area immediately after for a couple minutes
4- Then take a hot shower, putting the injection site under the water for a while

I never put more than 3 ml in my glutes and never more than 2 anywhere else. Hasn't failed me et.

Are there any problems doing this with just regular tap water? I have heard of people doing this, but I have been worried about losing some sterility?

Why would running the gear under tap water effect sterility? As long as the amp is closed, it should be ok. And wipe it off with an alcohol swab before you use it.

 

[Dr. JK]

Why waming it up, helps with pain?

 

[oubeta]

Right after a hot shower is the best. I can't even feel the 22g go in my quad.

I don't know, it just seems to me a little risky to be injecting something that was just ran under regular tap water? Maybe if I resealed it in the packaging than ran the warm tap water it would help add an extra level of comfort.

Right on the money....

 

[ROIDRANGER]

delt= 3cc
glute= 5cc
quad= 4cc

i do 2 and 2.5 cc in delts, tris, bis, pecs, and calfs regularly. i did start off smaller. but have absolutely no pain whatsoever.

i have a small lamp on my desk that i sometimes put the syringe on when preping the alcohol and all. heats it up nicely, but havent really noticed any benefit
