In pain, need help

[swole]

Listen bro, doing any or ALL of the suggested remedies will probably do NOTHING to alleviate your pain. You're going to come across painful gear every now and then. I recently used a brand of test E that despite my best injection method efforts would leave any body part paralyzed, irritated and red for 6-7 days after injection. Heating, rubbing, working out the muscle after injection...nothing helped.

You have to make a decision. Either 1) realize it's going to hurt with every inject and just suck it up and stop worrying. Or 2) toss it and get another brand.

What you CAN do however is shoot LESS into your glute. Instead of shoving a cc into your ass cheek, put .5cc into each side. Start using other spots such as delts.

You should always taper up doses whenever starting a new brand of gear.

As always, get medical attention if you spike a temp. Swelling, pinkness and pain can last up to 8 days...so like I said worry when you get a fever.

Great advice bro, thanks

here's something you can try -- seems to work for me and everyone I've suggested it to.

take about 3 grams of beta-alanine half hour to an hour b4 your shot. The same way that it clears "painful" lactic acid from your working muscles and allows you to push out more reps before the burn gets too bad, it likely neutralizes the painful substances from your shot (ba).

p.s. its actually the carnosine which the beta-alanine helps form which does the buffering

I see you mentioning this whenever the issue of painful injects comes up...and you're striking my curiosity

I'm more curious to test the theory than I am concerned with making shots less painful...might give it a go and try shooting my old, painful gear again.

I use 800 mgs of ibuprofine twice or 3 times a day to help with the pain if it gets like that. Usually, when I encounter painful gear, it's usually the concentration more than the BA for me. My body does get used to it, but I only inject my delts, so they're pretty used to it. You have to start off with .5 cc for a while and rotate to your common muscles that are used to injections, just as the person above said. I have had a spike in body temp (a degree or two - nothing ibuprofine can't fix), my whole bicep turn red and swell up and can't use my delts for a week. Last time this happened to me I was out for 8 days! that sucks! Couldn't sleep good, body aches, just miserable!

If your test dosing is normal, 250-300mgs , it's probably the ba since it's in a satchet. It's proably higher because of that..who knows..now suck it up big cat and walk it off!

I can really relate to this. Just started a new product and have been gimping around lately like i have spent a week in a Thai kick camp.

I just baked my gear yesterday for 20 mins at 200degrees two times. Will have to see if that helps.

Has anyone else had success with baking gear, i get some mixed reviews.

Definately also going to try Mav.'s advice about Beta-alanine, he always seems to have the right answer

Good luck

BTW i have heard the 5 ml satchets are painful

 

[xrsist]

strange that your first week was fine..
friend of mine always bakes sachet gear before use.
iv always sworn by baking painful gear, heat it up then shoot it before you train.
i like mavs idea about beta alanine before shooting..

 

[sensational]

heat b4 u inject.

And train the body part you inject. Or if you do glutes, do some form of cardio etc.

that would be great if you have known painful gear stashed.

also, you probably dont take as much ancillary vitamin/amino/herb stuff as i do so it would be a purer test DOOOO IITTTTT
