Your first cycle?
as pointed out earlier in the thread, one reason for PIP is virgin muscle.
The first time I injected Testoviron (real Human Pharma test e from Schering) into my quad I could hardly walk the next day. Glute shots weren't as bad though, but did hurt some until I got used to it.
After 4-5 glute shots PIP should be minimal/absent with test e.
(As long as it's only 1cc shots at least)
if your using the exact same gear others are using and they don't feel any PIP, it might just be you that are sensitive, this being your first cycle and all.
You our could at least try to only do glute shots of no more than 1cc, alternating the glute you inject with each shot.
So if you use 500mg test e a week, (which could be taken as one 2cc inject),
instead do 1cc inject into one glute on day 1, the other glute on day 3, and after day 7 return to day 1 and so on...
And be sure that you inject the proper place in the glute as well, and deep enough, shallow injects can cause PIP and even what may look like a red bump (like an abcess).
When injecting the glute think of the glute as composed of 4 squares, inject in the outer upper quadrant. Please look this up if your not sure about injecting.
Its at least something to try until you decide to switch labs.
