I recently injected a 1mL- 250mg of testosterone in my shoulder, this is my first cycle ever. I weigh 180lbs and i'm 5'10. Day of injection I was extremely pumped but towards the end of the day my shoulder started aching. There is no visible swelling or bruising. I can't move my arm without feeling extreme pain ! I put on a shoulder support and i was wondering if I should sit in the sauna to help melt the crystals. I would also love it if someone can give me any tips on testosterone injections, how to reduce the pain, should I take my next injections 3 days after my first? I'm trying to take in 0.2ml 500mg per week.

Virgin muscle syndrome. Pain is common but maybe the Testosterone you got isn't top shelf, so that would explain why it crashed and crystallized in the tissue thus causing pain. Sit in the sauna and gently massage the area.

Next time try injecting in the glute. Keep it simple and inject 2ml (500mg) once a week. Use the Z-Tracking injection technique.

I've only gotten vaccinations as IM injections (naloxone a few times too but I was too fucked up to remember that pain). my shoulder area gets sore for a bit but being a military brat I had my share of vaccines and then some so they don't bother me anymore. I think they say don't use more than like 1ml of solution for shoulder injections as well but I could be wrong.
 
Virgin muscle will respond like that in many people! Youl get used to it quickly, and I personally reccomend splitting the injections 250mg every 3 days, alternate each shoulder. The delt is a small muscle, 1ml injections are fine but 2ml for a virgin muscle is a bit much. I assume its test enanthate or cypionate?
 
I read that test acetate has virtually no pain and is a good substitute for prop for those doing the test/tren route with ed injects
 
could cause some of the oil to seep out when pulling out the needle. that's about it really.
 
people have spoke about hitting vessels and nerves while injecting, but what about bone, has this ever been done? when i jab its gonna be done properly so im just crossing the t's and dotting the i's!

Just ask your steroid friend. He should know.
 
anyone try out test acetate yet? sounds promising, all the benefits of prop without the pain.

I always wanted to try TNE (Testosterone no ester, suspended in oil) but the Acetate sounds better. I would much rather inject once day as opposed to once every 12 hour.

Test Acetate and Tren Acetate would make for one hell of a cycle.

That typically won't happen unless you use an extremely long needle and inject in a strange spot. If you stick with 1'' and 1.5'' needles and inject only in areas such the quads, delts, and glutes this will never be an issue.
 
what happens if you dont pinch the skin and you just inject straight?
Like Serotonin said, pulling the needle out will cause a little oil to come out, I usually have a friend who is also cycling out inject it for me, and then he'll count to three, and pull the needle out slowly and I'll put my finger on the punctured point and rub it. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION YES, VIRGIN MUSCLES WILL BE SORE, I DO MY INJ. IN THE BUTT ALTERNATING CHEEKS EACH SHOT, AND I MYSELF AM ON MY FIRST WEEK CYCLE (ABOUT 4 WEEKS IN) and everytime I get sore for atleast 2-5 days. It's normal. PM with any questions you might have, I've done a ton of research on test. And after all it is my first cycle and I have a very experienced trainer who gives me the inj. Be safe and let me know your results!

This is an open forum, should it not be best that all advice is kept on open forum rather than private messaging..?? By your own admission this is your first cycle, you are 4 weeks in.. Dependant on your choice of injection timings I might conclude you have pinned 4-8 times, less the number of times you say your mate has actually pinned for you..
This is not a lot of experience on such a serious subjects that you should be giving advice in private...
There are some on this forum with over 30 years experience in self-administering anabolic compounds (injectable and oral) myself included, I'm sure we would be more than happy to answer any questions and concerns in public for everyone to share..

I might add putting your finger over the injection site after pinning might not be the best course of action due to sterility issues, if you have to rub it (which on some forums is not recommended) then use a sterile swab.... Maybe wipe lightly if any blood or oil is present but hard rubbing is not now recommended...
