I only ever use cyp and lately I am getting a lump when I pin and just got my first bruise in my buttock.

I’m just looking for thoughts and opinions. I’ll give my full history. Using gear for 4-5 years now, I’ve had lumps and pip most of the time. I always use test E as a base. The pip has never been debilitating and the lumps after Injecting and never super obvious or giant but just a little swelling. Never red or hot to the touch either. I tried switching carrier oils and that didn’t really make a difference. I use a 1 inch needs for delts, lats, and glutes. I don’t always shove the whole thing in my lats or delts either. My lats almost never get lumps and don’t get much pip if any at all. It’s mostly delts and glutes. Delt lump usually shows up same day or day after and the pip the same. Glute stuff usually shows up 1-2 days after. They both probably last an average of 2 days of duration. I’ve always put up with it because it’s a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things but any idea why this is?
Thanks for asking this I was actually coming on to ask the same. If I use Test-E (non pharma grade) I either can't walk or sit for a few days. I've tried it with different oils so I guess Test-C is my next order. Good luck!

How much are you injecting in one shot? How frequent are your injections? I’ve used test e for months, and have almost no pip whatsoever. But my dose is pretty low, just slightly above trt so far

It was 3 days a week and the most test I ever took a week was like .8cc M/W/F

Update- I’ve waited a bit of time to have an accurate stand point with test c. I have had no lumps with test c and as far as pip, maybe a day at times but maybe like 1/3 or 1/2 the pip of test e.

Good news! Is iy in an oil you have used before so you can rule that out for future reference, too? I saw you mention you’d used compounds in GSO and MCT… it’d be nice to be certain you don’t react to one of them, since they’re so commom.

I’m pretty sure I have tried all oils so it should be the same.

Hey Gbunk, I ended up ordering Test-C (MCT oil). Injected on Monday and so far zero PIP, swelling, or rash.

Were you able to switch to Test-C finally and have better luck?

Yes, look at the comment I posted as an update and you can see how I’m doing.

I've been using test-e from LnL for 7 years now. I recently got a batch in April and I am getting the worst PIP/swelling. Does anyone know if they recently switched oils or something?

idk about switching oils, but I have read that Test-E has been causing irritation (some people claim since 2018) due to the processing from wherever the main source is. For me, if it isn't someone's Test-E from an RX I get hard lumps and rashes. Last year 1 horrible cycle of pointless pain Test-E (GSO), switched sources on this cycle and same results Test-E (MCT), then switched to Test-C (MCT) and everything cleared up.
