OK I'm sure part of this is paranoia but how many of you guys get lumps from shooting? I shot Test E into my left glute on Monday and there's still a lump there. I'm just getting over this damn infection from last week and I need to shoot again today so I don't want to miss a shot but I'm worried that there's something in this new bottle now or my body is just rejecting the gear or something. I used to get a lump maybe one out of 5 shots and it always went away in a few days. This one seems to have gotten smaller and it's not red or hot to the touch but after that infection I'm being cautious. How often do you guys get lumps from a shot?

It happens to me every now and then. It's just from the way the oil sits in there--more than likely caused by scar tissue buildup. You don't want to shoot into the lump again, that's for sure. Just keep massaging the area, and it should eventually go away.
I definitely won't be shooting into the lump, going to shoot my other glute and can't do delts for a while after the incident last week so I'll be limited to my glutes. I think I may have shot a little too high I think whenever I shoot lower the oil gets absorbed faster, easier etc.
bro your just being paranoid if its not sore or hot or red then no worries. I had a prop shot in eo last week swell up like a softball and i mean a softball. Didnt hurt at all no infectious symtoms i gave it a few days and slowly it went away. Just a small lump youll be good to go do you not like hitting quads? ventro? Just a few places to mix up from glutes just a thought.
I used to hit quads all the time until I came close to a nerve like you did the other day and since the last few have been leaving lumps I've been hesitant to hit quads because I don't want anything where anyone would be able to see it, i.e. the wifey. But I think what I'll do is shoot right glute tonight and if all goes well I'll try shooting one of my quads next week to see how it goes. Going to start IGF again soon too so I'm going to have to mix up the rotation of applications 
sounds good man yeah i think i went a little deeper then normal when i hit that nerve. I was as you know using a 1.5 and i like to use a 1 inch so i can just burry it and get it done, yeah this test 600 im using some may not belive me but it is absolutly completely painless after the first inject i couldnt believe it i figured it was gonna hurt like a bitch.

Really? Test 600 and it's painless? I have some test 500, and it definitely hurts although not as much as the sustaplex.
thanks bros. Hey Saudades, do you ever heat up your test before shooting it? I used to use that trick prior to shooting EQ when I happened to get a painful batch and it always worked and took all the pain away. I didn't heat up this last shot and I'm wondering if that had something to do with it. I'm also wondering if heating it up has anything to do with the fact that I got an infection...
i dont heat it up every and yes saudades i couldnt believe it eitehr took about 400mg's tuesday and yesterday/today it was like i didnt know i took a shot there. Crazy cause i just got through with my prop shots and i love this stuff already haha.

That's funny, Swole you are the 3rd person I've heard of not feeling much pain from theTest 600. I've talked to bros that compare the first shot or 2 with prop but after the inital pinch not much in the pain area. Never used it myself, not yet anyway.

Actually, no, I've never heated up anything. I've always thought that it was the esters that caused the pain anyway. The higher the concentration of gear I've taken, the more pain I've had--although when I say pain, it really isn't that bad. Only the last few injects I've had were pretty painful. I also think it has to do with how used to it an area is to being injected. When I inject in places I've done high-concentrated gear before, it isn't anywhere near as bad as a completely new place, and those last injects were new places.
I'd doubt that heating would cause an infection. There must have been something else that caused it.
