Shoulder injection pain

Hey guys,

I recently started doing injections in my shoulder of .30 ml of test cyp with a 27ga 1/2" needle. My left shoulder in the deltoid is now hurting a lot and the muscle looks like it's popping out and or swollen. The last injection I did was on Friday. Has this happened to anyone?
 
I tried the deltoid a few years ago and had a lot of pain too... went back to Quad. I understand the pain but the inflammation is weird.... Stupid question, but did you wipe with alcohol before sticking??
 
Justin, I wonder why you get pain? I also inject inject in the shoulders, after injecting I do rub the injecton spot but I don't know if that makes a difference.
 
I alternate between my quads & glutes. Occasionally I have moderate pain in my quad. No rhyrme or reason, but it goes away in a few days.
 
Vince-

Yeah, I'm not sure, and what's even more weird is that it only happens on my left side. I'm thinking maybe I'm not injecting in the right spot? Either way I think I'll try quads

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.
