Syntherol Swelling!?

Could someone please tell me or maybe give a time frame for which the swelling from the injections subsides. My arms just look like a big blob with no definition at the moment. I am on my 5th day so far and the swelling and pain are almost unbearable at some times. All i can do is keep my arms straight haha.

The pain is from the fascia stretching. You have to put up with it.
The swelling dissapears within a couple of days after you stop the injections.

Inject slower, use a smaller pin(ie 25 or 26gauge), massage the hell out of it when your done and immediately do some light high rep sets for the muscle you injected. Try to rub it a little all day. I found the first 4days the worst, then each time you up the cc's its a little bad for a few days. Not too bad though.

yea im using 27g and pushing real slow. Ive been putting some heating pads on them at night and massaging as much as possible. Yea I can deal with the pain, I was just wondering if it was the same throughout or it kinda dies down u know, either way im ok with it. Im on my third day and i can tell that my arms are bigger but idk if its just from the swelling or the oil/stretching. I started dc training again so I have been stretching very hard during my workouts and light stretching throughout the day. Ill keep updates for whoever cares.

When I did my course the pain was never bad at all, maybe it was because I was used to doing site injections there anyhow. I was experienced doing things like test prop in there, and that pain was 10x worse. As far as noticable swelling, I only had that for part of the first week. Like everyone else has said, it should go down next week. I had more swelling when I started with 1cc than when I was doing the 3cc injections.
