[QUOTE="mjb, post: 112339, member: 12790"] Just a quick followup. So, first I found a way to make things worse. I tried a deeper IM injection with a smaller volume, thinking maybe I was not tolerating shallow IM/Sub-Q and that IM might be the way to go: 23g 1" 0.25ml in Left Dorsal Glute, which led to even greater pain, swelling, and redness lasting for 1 week. Took about 14 days total to be 100% back to normal. I will spare you the pictures, but it looked like I had a glute implant on one side. Not a good time. I then switched to Westward Brand Cypionate in Cottonseed oil. First administration in Right Delt produced mild, but similar, symptoms with the full 0.45ml dose. Tolerable, but still pretty red, swollen, and itchy. [B]Next, I tried what seems to be the answer for me:[/B] 0.25ml, EOD, alternating 4 sites (L/R vastus lateralis and delts), Z-track method at all sites, and massaging the site post injection. Zero symptoms in the days following injection with this method so far, after about 3 rounds at each site. [/QUOTE]
