Why do you feel pain when using steroid injection?

Recently, a new customer asked me a question: the site after steroid injection will be painful for several hours. Is this normal?
Of course not.

After know more details about his use injection steroids methods, I learned the reason. Afterwards, I said to him, “brother, did your gluteus maximus offend you? Why do you always prick it in one position”. Of course, this is just an example. I took this opportunity to popularize the correct operation of steroids injection to avoid entering the pit.

In general, when using injection steroids, we usually need to pay attention to several points.

First, the choice and use of needles

According to the dose of each injection, there are many kinds of needles. The choice of needles needs to be decided by yourself. Of course, the injection site will be very painful if the needle is too large, but the injection process will be very slow if the needle is too small, and even the liquid cannot be injected. Generally, many users choose 2.5ml or 5ml needles, and their response is generally good, In addition, pay attention to whether the needle is hygienic.The needle should not be reused to avoid infection.

Second, be sure to expel air and air bubbles before injection

I wonder if you have ever observed the process of injection in the hospital. Every time the doctor draws the liquid in the vial, he will slowly push the piston with the needle upward in order to exhaust the air and air bubbles. Although there will be some small losses, it is torture to inject air into the muscle tissue, Don’t ignore this little detail when you inject steroids.

Third, change the needle:

If your technique is not good, you’d better prepare two needles. One needle should be used when extracting steroids. When you need to inject after extraction, change a new needle for injection, because if your needle collides with the glass bottle when extracting steroids, resulting in the deformation of the needle, I believe you will be very sour when the deformed needle is inserted into the body.

Fourth, avoid multiple injections at the same site:

If the steroid cycle is usually 6-8 weeks or even longer, we will inject frequently for a long time in this process. Then you should be careful not to inject multiple times in one part, which will not take enough time for that part to recover. Doing so will have a great chance of infection, so the pain is inevitable.

Fifth, pay attention to cleanliness
The most likely cause of infection, swelling and pain is that the sanitary conditions are not enough, so do not ensure the regularity and hygiene of the needle during each injection, as well as the hygiene of the vial and rubber stopper containing steroids. Wipe the vial and rubber cover with alcohol in advance, and wipe the skin of the injection site with an alcohol cotton ball, You can’t inject alcohol until the alcohol on the skin is dry. If the alcohol is not dry, the bacteria on the epidermis may not be completely killed.

Sixth, the injection site
When using steroids, avoid the hip where the lymphatic system is dense, usually the shoulder.

Of course, find a reliable supplier to ensure that the injection steroids you use are professionally sterilized. Ensuring physical health is the premise for all our sports and fitness to increase muscle. After all, only a healthy body can make you happy and enjoy the envy of others.
