Hi Bash,
I'm also on my cycle (5 weeks in) and experienced some strong PiP early doors.
Your reaction is much more severe than mine tho. I'm not qualified to comment on gear quality, I'll leave that to the vets on here. For me it has reduced considerably, there is still a light 'ache' in the muscle for a couple of days - but nothing serious. I attribute it to improved technique (practise makes perfect!) and the muscle getting used to being injected. I heat the oil (makes the test easier to inject and more viscous, therefore a thinner needle can be used = lesser damage) I also hold the base of the needle (stop it wobbling about once in). There's some great vid's online, the one I liked best was on You tube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E__kMjcp0XM Good luck my friend.
