Swelling in glutes post injection

**riverbound** · 08-12-2016, 08:23 PM

I'm currently doing my 4th cycle.
450 test e/600 eq split mon/thurs
I'll be running the eq for 16 weeks and the test e for 18 weeks
210lbs 6'1"
42 yrs old.

It's my first time using a board sponsors's gear, and I'm having lots of swelling in my glutes after each shot. ( shots are 1.5ml ) I can barely walk, let alone sit down for at least 5 days after pins. I've only pinned glutes on previous cycles, and never had pip like this. Pinned delts this week and was sore but nothing like when pinning glutes. First and Second week I had what I think was test test flu after each pin. I assume it was just my body adjusting to new gear.
I am feeling good now in the 3rd week, workouts are going well.
My wife is an rn and she does my pinning. I have No signs of infection or anything like that, but am curious as to what causes all the swelling and pip. Is it high BA ?

Yes, it could be BA. Sometimes with the higher dosed anabolics like Eq, when there dosed at 300mg/ml there will be PIP. If you went with a 200mg/ml, you probably would be fine.

I'll see if I can find some sterile GSO to dilute with and maybe alleviate the pip

I have also only pinned glutes. Never more than twice a week with only heavy long esters. Ive always used the same gear, same lab, same source...for many years. Also, always use 1.5s and anywhere from 20g to 25g. This last cycle I had severe pip..such as you described. We are the same age, Im just taller and heavier...but I had the same painful glute swelling. I use 1.5 because Im about 300 lbs and no way Im sticking that in my delt...so I just kept pinning alternate high cheeks. The pain and swelling went away after a month. Have no idea..my ass is just a pussy I guess. Lol. I thought maybe it was because I am using 25gs to shoot the E and it takes a few mins to push that heavy oil in. IDK though. Pain free and swelling free on week 12 though.

It's hit and miss for me, just clean the fuck out of everything to be safe. Beside that I can pin out of the same bottle 10 times and get a lump and swelling On any of the pins, or none, I've been cycling for 3 years with hrt in between, like the one bro said the higher mg the more painful. It could be the oil, I can't pin gso or it will swell every time. Everybody is different

Yes, it's all gso. My last three cycles were using biotech and I didn't have much pip at all. I am not sure if they use gso or not, I'll have to do a little research on that. Maybe my body doesn't like gso much.
