Pain in quads after injection

[Shandee10]

Hello,
I am new here, anyways I have been on T Cyp since September. My physician prescribed me 200mg @ 1mL weekly because my level was a 67 at 42 years of age. Anyways I have been doing injections in my quads and for first time my left quad is really sore and its been 4 days since my last injection. I think possibly I may have injected into a vein or capillary, my thighs are muscular but not really that big and I used a 11/2 inch 20g needle, what should I do just let the pain go away, also I talked with a gym partner who is a paramedic and he informed me my quad is probably just really inflamed. Any advice. Thank You

Shane

I stopped injecting the thighs for the same reason. Ventroglutal, butt cheeks, shoulders and stomach sub Q for me. There are a few posts on the topic. Also, I would recommend you drop your needle size to 27 gauge and split your injection to twice a week at .5ml. 1ml is a lot of liquid to inject at one time.

20 gauge needle? ouch! we use that on our pet elephant just curious do you have your complete labs you could show the group? Like above I would at least split that twice per week and 200mg a week is a monster dose to start.

Cookie-cutter protocol let alone using a gauge that has no place in trt!
