[QUOTE="Goel, post: 185923, member: 41138"] I'm new to this as well so take that in mind but I've used my quads and glutes for injection sites and while I have MUCH less residual discomfort with glutes, I've been using quads more because I'm still getting used to self-administering injections and it's easier to see what I'm doing there. Now to your question: I've had a bit of post injection pain at the quads but from what I hear that's not unusual when you first start self-injecting. Mine wasn't so much "pain", more along the lines of a little tender and sore for the next day within an area about 5cm radius around the injection site. No redness, no real pain just discomfort. One of the things that helps a lot is to massage the area after injection for about a minute. One, this helps distribute the T and two it helps alleviate the soreness from your muscle being traumatized. My most recent injection a couple days ago I tried something new: after massaging the quad I wrapped a heating pad round my thigh for about 10 minutes. Could be that I'm getting acclimated to the injection process but the heating pad helped A LOT. I had no residual discomfort or soreness. Others will weigh in on different needle sizes and I'll leave that discussion to them. I plan to reduce my current needle size (22g) and frequency after the initial regimen review with my dr.
