What do you guys do

[Deez Nuggets]

to get knots post injection out?

Monday was a 2 1/2 cc shot (1cc QV prop, 1cc QV enanthate, 1/2 B12) in my right glute - today it's still knotted, not that much but there is still a knot.

Lastnight was 2cc shot (1cc QV prop, 1cc B12) and today that mofo is knotted up and there is some pain.

I've always done shots in the shower, let the warm water hit the area for a few minutes, wipe down with alcohol, then poke and slowly inject, then massage the area for about 5 minutes while warm water hits the area. When I got out of the shower on Monday and lastnight, there was nothing at all, the following morning, however... that's when the discomfort begins and only gets worse throughout the day.

In no way will this make me even consider stopping my cycle - it's actually a pretty satisfying type of discomfort/pain, but just curious if there is anyway to further minimize the problem.

basically two questions:

1) what are you remedies to minimize pain from injections (preferably, prop and enanthate

2) for all those that 'cut' your injections with B12, how much do you use? the 1/2 cc on Monday night did just about nothing and the 1cc lastnight seemingly did nothing.

1. Dont use Vet Gear

2. Use heating pad and rub the muscle 20 min on 20 min off

You need to cut the oil more too. A 1/1 ratio is best.

if I am expecting a painful shot then i pop an advil about 1/2 hour before the shot to prevent swelling. this is my best idea for it. that or use human gear. LOL

Deep massage right after injection does the trick for me. Never had any pain from prop though, but most say they have.

I would have gone with viromones and ICNs but at the time the offer for human grade gear just wasn't practical (for reasons being). I've had great success with QV Cyp in the past.

The advil will prevent/minimize the type of discomfort i'm experiencing now? Even the next day?


I'm definitely going to put a warm rag on the spot after work / before the gym today.

Would stretching help at all?


thanks fellas.

1cc / 1cc you mean?

That's what I did lastnight and today there is still discomfort.

yes because if you prevent the swelling from either forming from a premptive strike with the advil then it will minimize any pain. as well as ice in between the heating pad applications.

alright, i'll try that tonight.

I did 1cc of enanthate and 1 1/2 cc of B12 lastnight and this is significantly LESS discomfort at this point in the injection site. There is still some present but nothing that seems to be a problem. We'll see throughout the rest of the day, usually from sitting down all day, that's when the knots get to their worst.

As a result of the prop wednesdsay night, lastnight trying to do legs was a VERY tough process.

I always recommend sterile oil for a cutter. B12 has it's place, but if you don't need it, go with oil. Oil mixes with the other oils you are injecting. Water, from the B12, displaces itself from the oils and therefore it doesn't stay mixed as well. oil with oil will create less pain.

ive never shot prop but when i use winny i sit on a baseball and roll it around the area it seems to work for me.

Just curious, but where do you recommend getting sterile oil from?

[shortz]

First check the site's sponsors. That is the best route. If they don't have any, I can then point you in the right direction.

in the military they have you sit in a ball and roll around for 5-10 minutes. helps spresd the oil. works like a champ.

just curious are you only doing glute injections, what size pin are you using?
