Painful injections and how to manage them, WTF?

Ok I've been cruising along for 6 month now, only 250 mg/wk of Test (any ester) and want to crank it up soon for Spring. Anyway seems like anywhere I go it hurts like a MF....I usually alternate gluteus and triceps and doesn't matter where its at, it swells, balls up and hurts for 4-6 days. I even went into my lat a while back and could barely raise my arm above my head. So I'm thinking:

Have some dirty gear, a shot 2 times ago in my glute hurt, bleed and I had low grade fever for a day, the worse one ever. But now I went in other glut with different stuff (from another source) and is hurting big time 4 days later.

or

I am building up scar tissue in all sites, where as a brief break may be in order.

My real question is: does anyone go considerably lower in the glut? I usually inject just below where the crack of my ass is, about 2-3 inches from the actual crack to avoid the sciatic nerve. Can I go halfway down from the start of the crack and over 3 inches or so safely? The glut is pretty large muscle, so I would imagine so. I have never injected that far south, is it safe?

I have tried my quads and calves long time ago and about a 50/50 chance of limping for few days. SAme with delt injection, at times very painful. Any suggestions?

What size need guage are using?

You should run the water to warm up as near your body temp and let the Test bottle set for 60 seconds. You should draw the Test in with a 21guage. Then swap the 21 needle with 25 1.5" long. You need to try shooting in the front of your leg. You have 6" x 3" meat to choose. Rotate IM injections between legs. Once your rubbing alcohol has dried, make sure all bubbles are out. Ptrss plunger out til drops coat the needle. take your thumb and pointer finger and stretch the skin and sink it/25 guage needle deep. It goes in like hot butter. Pull back plunger to see if you've hit a vien, if not press plunger gently. It's not a race so inject slow. Pull out needle wipe area then massage injection site for 60 seconds. If your still suffering at injection site your allergically screwed in regards to the medium of the Test. Do yourself s favor. Get 500mg vials and split the dosage every 4 days.

Its not recommended to go any lower. The Sciatic nerve isn't the only one to worry about you have other major nerves and blood vessels in your glute.

What mg per ml is the test

Thanks for replying, I do many of these things you mentioned, I use large needle to draw out but use 23 guage to inject, thats what I been using forever....I dont warm the vial, I will try that....I use 1 inch as I'm pretty lean, so that should easily reach the muscle. I rarely aspirate especially when doing the glut as hard to see from behind, I've also noticed nurses dont so that either....now re the thighs, yes I know about the quadrants, divide yr thighs 4 sections, I have done these and almost every time I couldnt squat for 5 days and was noticebly limpimg so am hestitant to try that agaiin. Calf is easy to reach but they are loaded with nerves and soreness usually follows (not to mention blood squirting)....what do you mean by being allergic? I have never heard that before, so if you care to opine that would be great. I cant understand why I have done nothing different for yrs but lately its been painful as fuck. Is the gear unsanitary? That would cause the symptons I am having, or scar tissue build up??

Varies, usually 200-300 mg of enth or cyp. 100mg for Prop. think thats an issue?

Do not massage immediately afterwards. That is terrible advice.

Can one develope allergy to gear? I would assume so, havent ever heard of that one before. I took shot last PM in tricep and damn is it sore today, fuck tired of being in pain all the time from this

Some gear does that and there is nothing you can do. One of the dealers we had here a few years ago had a special 10 mixed vials for $300 or something like that, so I loaded up. And every damn vial hurt like hell when injected. I heated it, and everything else that anyone could suggest and it didn't matter a bit. I'd inject in the AM and I'd have flu-like symptoms in the PM, EVERY TIME. I just learned to crank up the Advil and deal with it, because I didn't want to throw it all away.

Agreed, sometimes it's just the formula. The last test I had hurt like hell for days I went through what your going through and tried everything. I finally switched suppliers. Currently what I have is smooth as silk

Yes the shot a while back in my glut gave me a low grade fever plus hurt like hell to sit. And was warm too which I thought may have indicated infection, but now a few of you said same so like you all have said, its just the nature of the beast. I hate keep popping Advil, my liver under enough distress as it is!!
