Is viscosity among the reasons that short esters cause more pip?

I have a theory in my head that the low viscosity of things like T prop and similars contributing to the pronounced pip they often cause. The thoguht is that the oil will disperse not only in the muscle, but seep out from it and going places where it causes inflammation and pain. Like muscle sacks, muscle insertions and so on.
The idea came to me after a 1ml delt shot that caused pretty severe inflammation and gave me flu-like symptoms. The inflammation started at the spot where i pinned it, and then spread down my arm. Further up everything was normal.

I am aware that prop`s higher melting point makes it so that one often times will inject a lot more crystals out of suspension, than one would typicaly do with things like enthate. Also more solvents = more pip. Should uncontroversial enough.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
