Started protocol yesterday where I inject shallow IM with 27G 1/2 in into shoulders. Today, my shoulders, biceps, and arms are itching. Is this normal? I injected 50mg into each outer part of shoulder at a 90 degree angle.
It could just be your body getting used to a foreign substance, i.e. oil, being injected into your body. You could have even hit a little nerve. I think what to watch out for is if the reaction gets more pronounced each time you inject as you could have an allergy to either the carrier, oil, preservitive, or solubilizer.
Recently, I was using sesame seed oil as the carrier oil and began to develop red welts on my abdomen from the subq injections. It is pretty normal for this to happen occasionally, but it shouldn't happen each time. These kept getting worse and worse each time and were very itchy. So it seems that I developed an allergy to the sesame oil because the only other thing in it was benzyl alcohol, and I have never had any issues with that.
