Title: Injection site pain
Post by: lil_red on October 04, 2016, 07:28:30 PM
I did my shot yesterday morning and it went the same as normal but today my muscle hurts much worse than normal and is swollen and warm to the touch.  Should I be concerned or at what point should I be concerned?

Did you just start a new vial of T? Could it be suspended in a different type of oil?

Same vial I've had for my last 4 shots.

That's happened to me before. By chance did you maybe wiggle the needle at all once it was inside your leg? That's what I think happened with mine. Ibuprofen and an ice pack should help reduce the swelling and warmth. Gently massaging it should help with the soreness.
