Possibly an abscess

Can I name the brand here ? Its a fairly big brand I think, specially here. They have online testing tool as well, for authenticity of the boxes.

The lump is just 20% of what it was the day after injection. Curious thing is, it didnt form at the site of the injection, but 4-5 inches downwards. Definitely it was oil though, cause heating and massaging has shifted and reduced it.

If it's an infection it normally doesn't go away. I got staff once and it was undoubtedly an infection there was no question about it. I ended up in the hospital with a 104 fever. What size needle are you using? Have you thought of rotating your injection sites? If you have multiple bottles try cracking one from a different batch and see if you have the same results

I understand about the infection part, I just got worried by the lump, first time issues. Am using 24G 1.5" needle. Thing is, where the lump happened, I had injected 2CCs. So maybe thats too much quantity for a virgin muscle. I inject 1cc at the same time in the other glute as well. So don't know how to rotate with just 2 sites. Am not much confident about the quads or delt injections, so glutes seem safe to me.

Quads is easy. And my fav personally. The best way to tell where to pin on quads is to stand up and let your hands rest at the natural position on your quads. Where your hands fall is where you shoot.

But seriously try quads then do stair master at the gym for 10 mins to loosen everything up.
But 24 gauge? Jeeze bro that's gotta be like squeezing peanut butter out of a squirt gun haha it must take a while

Quads are the easiest spot for me to pin on my own so I agree. I always pin high on the quad on the outside and I use 27 gauge pin. No problem pushing the oil through

Oh and you aren't likely at all to hit any blood vessels but still, aspirate.

 

[dragunov11]

Yeah bro, 24G . It takes roughly 30 secs for 1ml to push through. I hope thats proper speed.
Actually my gf gives me the glute injections, she always aspirates. There are times I don't even feel the needle go in or out, just the oil pushing through.
I'll try quads and the fine glute then. Here is what am planning : 1ml of test e on each quads. and 1ml of deca on the fine glute. Every week.

Btw, 1" or 1.5" for the quads ? And I'll go with 27G. Or 29G if am chickening out. This is the best way to get rid of my fear of needles. lol
