I work construction And I need mobility of my limbs and so far heating pad and personal massager still doesn't seem to take it away just dulls the pain but theres still no leg day hardly able to get up and down stairs lol.i underestimated it for sure.the day after I can't walk.all new sites all new tissue.1st timer.i wanted prop for less water ret. and maximum gains but didn't know I'd be a cripple.supposed to get better?b12 help?read so much bullshit want some experienced opinions.
Testosterone prop causes a lot of PIP in most users. Especially in virgin muscles that aren't used to injections. There really isn't much you can do about it. I would personally switch to test e or test cyp. That whole water retention thing from test prop vs test e/c is total bro science. Testosterone is testosterone. The ester only changes how frequently you need to inject.
Here are some tips for reducing PIP:
1. Heat up the oil prior to injecting. Run the vial under hot water for 1-2 minutes. Heating up the oil will bring it closer to body temperature and make the oil disperse from the muscle into the blood stream much easier.
2. Gently massage the injection site for 1-2 minutes after the injection. It'll help disperse the oil into the blood stream.
3. I am a big advocate of training the muscle you injected into that day. It'll help disperse the oil from the muscle into the blood stream. In other words, try to time your glute injection on the day you train legs/glutes.

Thank you very much.i did my first shot in the dorso glute and am about to hit the ventro glute on the same side at a week later..I should be ok even if there is still a small knot on that side?pain is gone there took 5 full days.
Got mad cuz I've already bought two cycles of prop and went and did my legs anyways just pushed through the pain and it worked.broke my own boundaries so maybe there is hope.

Unfortunately, this is something completely normal with the propionate ester, and most users will experience PIP with this particular version of testosterone. What's is even worse in your situation, is that there will be just as much water retention with the propionate as with the enanthate or any other ester, since thes esters only change the release times, but in no case to they affect the way the actual active substance works. Therefore, better opt for longer esters - the results will be just the same, but you will need less injections and these will be less painful.
@muskate has given you some very well proven tips for reducing PIP, and I use most of them successfully.
Don't worry too much for the prop that you already got - you can get yourself some sustanon, and mix them together - this way you will reduce the PIP.
Prop can have some bite and not to mention it is your first cycle. You are pinning virgin muscle. I stick to pinning glutes as often as possible because I get bad PIP in quads. You should try rotating glutes and delts.

It will take a week or two to get used to it, trust me

Do not spend more money on various types of test BC you will only find that the pain is the same. I will always remember my first cycle and the pain it caused me. I ran Test E and pinned 2x a week. After my very first inj (I only inj my glutes for first 3 cycles) I could not sit down for 5 days. I could barely get in and out of my car. This is very common and no matter the cmpd you are using it will still occur. I would say at week 3 the pain dissapaited to the point that I was no longer sore post injection. The advice muskate gave it accurate and about the only thing you can do to help.
Just tough it out my brother and the pain will go away. Stick to your glutes BC they are the safest and since your tissue is virgin tissue anywhere else you pin expect the same type of pain. Believe me it gets better just don't waste money on more gear, just not worth it.
