man i feel your pain- literally. some of these labs use way too much solvents like guaiacol or just high BA and it feels like getting kicked by a horse for 3 days. definitely try warming the vial under some warm water before you draw it up, it helps it flow and absorb way smoother.

mixing in some sterile MCT is a game changer for real. i had some prop once that was pure fire and cutting it 50/50 with plain oil was the only way i could even walk. just make sure your source for the oil is legit sterile so u dont end up with an abscess!

honestly dna pharma has been hit or miss with pip lately. you might just have a "spicy" batch. try massaging the area for like 5 mins right after the shot to spread the oil out... sounds stupid but it actually helps stop it from just sitting in one spot and crystallizing.

495 on stiff legs... wait wrong thread lol. but seriously for the pip, are you using a 23g or something? maybe try a 25 or 27g needle. smaller needles cause less "trauma" to the tissue and i noticed my pip went way down when i switched to slin pins for my trt.

advil is okay but it doesnt really fix the inflammation deep in the muscle. try a heating pad on the area for 10-15 mins after you pin. it keeps the oil thin so your body can actually process it. also make sure ur not moving the needle around too much while its inside- that always makes it way worse for me.

bro dont feel like a wuss, bad pip can legit ruin your workouts if you cant even squat because of your glute lol. if the mct oil doesnt work u might just have to swap brands. life is too short to be limping around 24/7!

have you tried pinning a different spot? i get way more pip in my quads than my glutes for some reason. maybe your muscles are just reacting to that specific carrier oil. but yeah 4 days of pain is a lot to deal with every single week.

dude i had the same issue with dna a while back. try warming the vial up under some warm tap water for a few mins before u draw it. it makes the oil way thinner and it doesnt "clump" up in the muscle as much. also pin it slow- like really slow. it helped my pip a ton.

yeah diluting with sterile mct is a total game changer if the gear is just too "spicy" or has a high solvent content. just make sure you're being super sterile with the transfer. i usually do a 1:1 ratio and the pain pretty much vanishes. you're not a wuss man bad pip sucks lol.

are u pinning a new spot? sometimes if its a "virgin" muscle it just hurts like hell the first 4 or 5 times until the tissue gets used to it. but if its dna pharma they might just be using a lot of guaiacol or ba which can bite. try hitting your glutes if your doing quads- quads are notorious for bad pip.

massage the area for like 5 mins straight right after you pull the needle out. it sounds simple but it helps spread the oil out so it doesnt just sit in one spot and cause that "golf ball" feeling.

honestly the best thing for pip is movement. if i sit around after a shot it gets way worse. try pinning right before you go hit legs or at least go for a 20 min walk. get the blood flowing to that area and it'll clear out way faster than just taking advil.

dna has been hit or miss lately with the pip. some batches are smooth as butter and others feel like you got kicked by a horse. if it’s still hurting after 4 days and feels hot to the touch just keep an eye out for infection but usually it’s just high BA.

man i feel u. nothing ruins a workout like not being able to squat cuz your quad is throbbing from a shot 3 days ago. try the mct oil thing- its worth the extra effort. also maybe try a higher gauge needle (like 25g or 27g) if your using a harpoon right now lol.
