Developed a lump at injection site.

Hey brother, I am sorry to hear about that I think when you repeatedly inject the same area it causes lipo hypertrophy, which involves a lump of fatty tissue under your skin. The area may feel lumpy, firm or rubbery. It also may be somewhat numb. It can reduce by massaging the area of the shot to allow for disbursement of the liquid injected underneath, hence the lump should dissipate a lot sooner.
I think this video will help you inject next time.

Hey bro, I think you are repeatedly injecting the same site. First, select the region in which you want to inject after that inject it at once.
I am attaching a video below watch it and then let me know if it's ie beneficial for you.

Thanks for the response and helpful advice. This was the first time injecting in that area. Overnight it got very hard, red and still very tender and painful. This morning same and the size has grown a bit wider. I’m on my way to the urgent care now. I think it may be an infection of some sorts. Those videos are very helpful and now I understand a lot better. I may have also wiggled the needle around a bit too which I’m sure didn’t help anything.

I washed my hands, sanitized the vial, drew the oil, switched to the 25g 1” pin, sanitized the injection site and then continued as normal. Could plunging too fast have these kind of effects?

Using a SubQ injection needle will require more time because testosterone is thicker. With an IM needle, the process can take five to thirty seconds, but you'll need to be very patient with a SubQ needle because it can take up to a minute to transfer the dose into the syringe. Its good that you got professional care, they will guide you more on that.

Hi there, DR said it was a skin infection of some sorts, they gave me an ultrasound on the mass and said there was no pus or abscess. I was put on antibiotics. However I’m wondering if I am allergic to the oils the T is suspended in? Dragon Pharm says they use sesame seed oil which I’ve never had issue with eating, obviously two different things. I use a 1inch 25g needle and go into muscle. Last one in the arm I took my time injecting and still my arm started to swell up like crazy and a small knot has formed. Is there any options for me? Any ideas? Thanks friends

In my own experience it depends on the pins I use and the site I choose.

I have 30g X 5/16” for subq w TRT and no lumps ever. When I ran out I could only get 27g X 1/2” and I got lump’s every single time. Same oil, etc.

Nice info. Thanks

Hey bro, do you still feel the same issue or it gets resolved?

As long as I use the smaller pins w subq I have no issues but the bigger pins still lump me up.

Might be some allergy or skin condition of some sort. Did you ever consult a vet on this?

Hey Bella,
Did dr allowed you to continue pinning or are you taking a pause?

No, I just use smaller pins and no issues. I’m on trt with a side order of low dose dbol

So I’m doing this on my own, DR said I should stop obviously. I went through another supplier that uses MCT oils for their test. I have pinned twice with the new stuff, first time flawless and no bump developed. Second time I had a mass form on my arm again. I now moved on to test cyp and just pinned today. Interestingly it’s the same arm that swelled up before. Still trying to sort all this stuff out.

Try ventrogluteal injection next time. It could be that site was not completely healed. Always disinfect the injection site and use a brand new needle.

Why don't you consider orals for your needs?
