I just switched myTRT to injections of test cyp but I'm thinking I messed up my first injection for a few reasons being I'm having more problems with the injection than the YouTube videos I watched.
I'm short on time ATM but will return to list my full protocol and workouts etc. I'm just hoping you guys can help me out on my test injection method before I need to do my second one Wednesday.
Injection method used: injected 1mL of test cyp into outer part of right quad muscle. Using 23-gauge needle. Pinched skin near knee, pushed in slowly at 90 degree angle, injected test cyp slowly, waited about 20-30 seconds to try and ensure test will stay in (did not seem to help but recommended in vid). Pulled out slowly in same 90 degree angle. As soon as needle was out a stream of dark red blood shot out about 6 inches, covered with cotton ball, blood stopped in few seconds.
Issues I'm having that don't seem normal: blood shot out in fast stream when I slowly pulled the needle back out. Hurt some yesterday on injection day but today it is so bad I've been limping bad. Not just being wimp here it hurts pretty sharp to the point there is no way I could do squats near a shot day like this or much walking it seems. I did do a lot of walking and some running in it which made it worse but seemed bad to begin with. Bruise formed is about size of 2 quarters.
Any advice on method or needles (or what these slin pins I hear of are, how they work, and why better) would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need more info or if this is a pretty typical result.
Thanks guys!
