Injecting in thigh before leg workout?

[JohnTree]

My current vial of test cyp gives me so much pain in the thigh, hip etc. the next day that I cannot walk without a huge limp. I've injected in the thigh before an upper body workout and my warmup on the stairmaster seemed to help a bit.

I'm wondering if injecting my thigh before the leg workout is a good idea? i usually get sore a few hours later and definitely bad the next day and for another 1-2 days thereafter. I don't want to waste an injection.

I inject warmed oil, aspirate, use alcohol swipes etc. .23 guage. I have 25 guage on hand too but the thinner needle doesn't seem to affect the pain. I also have massaged a little and a lot with little/no relief.

13 weeks into your cycle it really shouldn't bother you any more.

Did you just switch to quads?

Are you sure that it's the correct spot?

this was my exact experience the first time i shot up ever. subsequent times the pain was always less severse. if ur using stealth alot of people report painful injections. u should definitely not be feeling anypain the day of the injection only the next day and it should be minimal. i usually inject 1 inch 23 gauge and have the whole needle in lying underneath the skin and i inject in quads (can u imagine getting that pain in ur ass). this could be an issue with the sterility of the gear.

I've have used the thigh site for a while so it's not new. I rotate locations thighs and glutes and have very long thighs with a lot of muscle too so i'm not hitting the exact same spot twice. I use 1 inch for quads and 1.5 or 1 for glutes. And it always hurts a lot the next day whether it's thighs or the 2 glute locations pr shoulders. I avoid shoulders because it hurts there too. and messes up my workout. I guess I'll wait until after my leg workout

If you hit different spots on your quads, it's like a new spot every time. You might not even be injecting in the right spot if you are moving around.

I usually stick with the same spot.

Why does it have to be in the Quad any way? I do agree though if you inject 3x a week or more, your quad inject should be on leg day since it gets sore the following day.

I never hit the same exact spot twice. I'm 6'5" with large thighs so there's a lot of real estate to move an inch eith way. But I get a lot of pain in thighs or glute, even ventrogluteal. I'm currently pinning 2x wk but next week I'm shifting to Prop and eod. Hopefully the prop will be less painful.

I think I'll try injecting earlier in the day so I can stretch and massage the site and move around all day. I've been injecting late evening a few hours before bed. Today I did it earlier , we'll see. I think it's my current vial is painful because the previous wasl ess painful. The current vial also seems to have less of a stimulating effect right after the injection. Maybe it's chili oil?

I do have some b-12 I haven't used. How much do you add?

I injected earlier in the day yesterday and did a lot of massaging and stretching afterwards and today it's sore but I'm able to walk without a limp no problem.

You must have got a hold of some of that stuff from the same place I did.........

[Phreezer]

Once you do a few injections in the same area it will actually stop hurting so much.

Some stuff just has more B.A. than others and does cause more pain no matter what though.
