lately I’ve been getting pretty bad swelling and bruising from my injections, and it’s been going on for months now. I pin daily, but I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it or how to make it stop.
I’ve already tried warming the test a bit before injecting and switched over to an insulin syringe, but neither really made a difference. starting to get frustrating, so I’m curious what you guys do to keep pip under control or if there’s something obvious I’m missing here.
daily pinning can just beat the hell out of the same tissue after a while, especially if you’re rotating kinda limited spots. the bruising part makes me think you’re just nicking little vessels more often than you realize.
honestly i would try switching to a different brand or a different oil base just to see if it clears up. pinning daily is already a lot of stress on the tissue so if the oil itself is irritating you its just a losing battle. also make sure your not just hitting the same spots over and over because scar tissue buildup can make the oil sit in one place and cause a mess. maybe give the glutes a break and try lats or something but yeah i would bet money its the oil itself man. hope it gets better soon because that sounds like a total nightmare lol.
