Does Cypionate burn?

[Snakedoc74]

I'm about 4 months in, injecting .25ml 2x/week, using a 30g 1/2". Usually I feel nothing at all, but lately the prick and the insertion have felt like a hot poker (both Subq and shallow IM). I thought the alcohol was dry (maybe the increased humidity?). Could it be the Cyp that is dripping on the needle after pushing the bubbles out? Thanks.

I would think it's the alcohol, you should push the bubbles out in the vial.

Where are you injecting? I have occasionally had something similar when injecting in stomach fat, but not in the shoulders.

I would guess the alcohol isn't dry yet. Do you swab before or after drawing up the injection? I swab beforehand so that the alcohol will be dry by the time I inject.

I do get the bubbles out before injecting. I rotate between stomach and ventral glute. Got the burn in both places (not when injecting the oil, but during the insertion). I suspect it's the humidity not allowing the alcohol to fully dry--even though I do give it a minute or two.

Turn the A/C up to fix your injection pain. Who would have thought?

I've never had an issue with a ton of different compounds. You know what burns? l-glutathione

Pretty certain it was the alcohol. Ended up using a gauze pad to ensure it was dried and haven’t had an issue since. Lesson learned.
