Hey guys, obviously I'm not looking for medical advice and I have been browsing the forums last 2 days to see if anyone had posted a similar experience, and only found one. I'm about to be on week 3 of a test cyp only cycle and have been pinning 500 mg per week twice a week. So far so good. a little PIP after first injection but only sore for a couple days then it was fine. I've been generally in the same area upper right quadrant of my right glute. Saturday I pinned 250 in the right glute and it was fine, later in the day I noticed a little pain (noticeable but not bad at all) yesterday there was about a spider bite sized bump and seemed sub q -- it was a little warm to the touch and itchy. Today no itchiness but I did notice the bump grew slightly. When pressing on it I can feel it but I wouldn't call it painful. Anyway, any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I will bet that it is test crystals and will go away in a few days. If it does not improve and begins to appear infected seek immediate medical attention.
You should seriously consider rotating injection sites (4 minimum) to allow for trauma healing caused from injections. Glutes, delts, and quads are the most popular.

I use 23g 1" on my quads. Works perfect every time and no pain (minimal if any). flex your quad. You'll see two heads form behind your knee cap. Place your middle finger opposite of the leg you wanna pin in the center of those two heads (the tip being in line with the shorter/outer head). Then follow the "plate" down the center divide. Place your thumb at 90 degrees to your middle finger down the side of your outer quad. Pretty much anywhere in that little circle your hand forms in the swoop of your thumb and base of your middle finger is good to go, solid muscle and fine to pin. I'll put a pic up of my own hand placement for you to visually see what I'm talking about. Hope it helps! I also feel more in control myself pining quads because there is no twisting your body or arms weird just a straight shot in
dark thanks for the pic of where to inject on the quad! I know when I first started I had done some reading but was still lost as hell on how to do it. I also had a couple times where I didn't get pin deep enough and ended up getting that sore bump like samh had for a few days 
Speaking of this is there any way to start a thread showing pics of where to pin to help out new ppl? Like in Quads, delts, gluts, etc. Because injections were scary as hell for me when I first started and some good pics always help. And I still haven't tried deltoids or some of the other spots....... btw did I mention I have a fear of needles....

While poking around the internet, I stumbled across a little interesting thing concerning benzyl benzoate, a solvent used in making powder injectable. Apparently, it can cause necrosis, or cell death if in too high of concentration. I believe some brewers will use slightly higher amounts when suspending high mg oils, some may simply add too much accidentally I suppose. If the symptoms occur after each injection, this could be the culprit. Doesn't sound like it is, but the info may interest others.

Spot injections.com I believe it is shows the best spots to inject for every body part. Strongly recommend it.
