massaging steroid injections

[Mrlolite31]

some guy at the gym who I am friends with said that you are supposed to massage the spot you inject steroids because it helps prevent scar tissue and abscesses. I’ve had 2 lumps drained in the past year from steroid use so I want to prevent that from happening
do you guys do anything like that yourselves, and how about applying ice or heat to it? I’ve had issues with injection lumps

never massage, apply direct pressure where you injected and hold for a min or 2.

[MasonicBodybuilder]

After I pin I massage for like 30 seconds. Not sure if it helps or not but that is my routine.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

Massage and press injected spot, apply heat

ive never really massaged at all after injections but to each their own!

 

[SteveMobsterG]

No real need but go ahead if you want

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

Don't put too much pressure on it.....

 

[RoySimpson]

Yeah I advise it!

 

[ballin2504]

I just shoot it and I’m done no massaging for me. The abscess could be from bad gear. I’d switch suppliers

 

[Nelson Montana]

Yep. With a massage gun.
