[QUOTE="Goel, post: 222136, member: 41138"] I recently switched providers to Defy - love them so far - and they changed my protocol to daily injections. That's fine with me but raises a question: I've seen lots of comments about developing scar tissue at injection sites. I already change my sites up regularly between quads, glutes, and delts, but now going to every day I'll be even more diligent about that. But what's the primary concern with scar tissue anyway - cosmetic, toughening texture of skin tissue, or what? Does injecting at (for example) my quads develop enough scar tissue that the injected test can't reach muscle and be absorbed as easily? I wouldn't think a 29g needle would be enough to impair muscle function but over daily injections, may it can? [B]I'm using 29g 1/2" syringes injected IM.[/B] Side note: Coming up on 2 yrs I've used nothing but TestCyp from pharmaceutical companies, all using cottonseed oil as a carrier. No problems there, and warming the vial makes the draw with a 29g much easier. Defy (Empower) uses grape seed oil as the carrier and it's dramatically easier to draw and if ambient temperature is above 60s I don't even bother warming the vial before drawing. Again, it wasn't a pain with cottonseed oil, just pretty surprised that grape seed oil draws much easier. [/QUOTE]
