ok, I put this off until now but figured its time to ask some questions from the pro's.
I pinned test c a few years back and had very little pip. On a 1-10 scale I would call it a 2 at best. It just kind of felt like a small bruise for a couple days after pinning. Never a problem, never a big deal.
Fast forward to this week. I got two vials of test e and pinned my right quad Monday morning. I heated the vial in a small dish of hot water, alcohol swabbed correctly, drew with one pin and injected with another. I'm using 25 gauge 1" pins. During the day I had some tenderness, about a 1-2 on the pain scale, no big deal. I went to work on Tuesday and the pain went up to about a 6 or 7. The injection site itself didn't have any real pain but 4" closer to my knee is where the pain was concentrated. There was a lump there about 1-2" around. It didn't turn red or get hot or anything. By Tuesday night the pain increased some more, 7-8 range. I stretched it, massaged it, etc but got no relief. I seriously didn't think I could pin again on Thursday because the pain was that bad.
Wednesday the pain subsided down to about a 3-4. I went to the gym Wednesday night and did some light leg exercises and by the time I went to bed the pain was completely gone. I still had some tenderness when I touched where the lump was, but no pain walking or moving. I wrote it off as user error since I hadn't pinned in a few years.
I pinned in my left quad Thursday morning. I was pretty good during the day but started having pain Thursday night. Friday at work, I gimped around like tiny tim from the pain. By the end of the day it was an 8-9. When I got home I really couldn't bear any weight on my left leg. Again I had a 2" lump 3-4" closer to my knee than the spot I pinned. When I got home I literally jumped in bed and fell asleep, shit hurt that bad.
Today I worked a side job and the pain and lump was still there but the pain dropped to a 4-5. Right now, its about a 2.
I have no pain whatsoever in my right leg and if history repeats itself I should have no pain in my left leg tomorrow or sunday.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong? The test came from a very reputable supplier on here so I don't think I got bunk gear. I followed all the proper procedures
and didn't do anything dumb in the pinning process. I heated the oil and injected slow. I was thinking that nerves caused me to screw something up on the first injection so I took my time and made sure my second injection was the symbol of perfection. I'm back at not wanting to pin on Monday again because of the pain.
I can deal with pain and understand its part of the game, but I think what I am getting is way past normal pip.
Thanks in advance for any help/ suggestions.
