What's the cause for bruises and/or lumps on injection sites?

[kutch]

Not really worried about it, but a few times I've noticed an immediate lump followed by a bruise that sticks around for a week or two after a sub-q injection. What exactly causes this to happen? I've seen it with different peptides so I don't believe it's anything more than something physically happening with the pin(1/2 inch 30 gauge) and my body.

get the same thing, itches a bit like a bite.

u went through a vien

I get the same thing from time to time. Especially with Sus250.. usually just in my gluts though... just part of doing business...

Bingo! You're right - it's exactly like a bug bite. Doesn't that sound odd that you're getting the same type of reaction as a bug bite?

This has been answered repeatedly, but for the sake of newbee's who do not know where the search button is, here's something from a couple previous posts.

Taken from GenSci's website: **broken link removed**

"Why do I experience red welts and pain in injection site when I inject some brand of hGH? Is it normal?

No, it is not normal. It indicates that you are using fake Jintropin™ or fake hGH. The red welts and pain in the injection site are caused by E.coli protein contamination. Jintropin and Lily's Humatrope use secretion technology which produces a 191 amino acid sequence growth hormone, with much less E.coli protein contamination and no side effects associated with injection, such as red painful welts."


Bottom line - this is an immune reaction. Here's a post I placed on another board,

"...it's our bodies autoimmune system reacting. Most people have already had their immune system react in this manner via a simple mosquito bite which injects saliva (not poison). Our own autoimmune response creates the sensation of itching, swelling, warmth/burning, etc. "

None the less, something's in that *stuff* that your body is rejecting. Over a month or so, the welts will disappear, HOWEVER these welts will have disappeared because your body will have successfully formed anti-bodies against your supposed GH, rendering it all but useless.

Although I agree with 123 to a certain extent, a lump that appears post administration does not always attribute to an immune response, in some cases, sure, in all, absolutely not. I've had this welt appear from time to time with various peptides over the last several years. It will appear, on say my fifth pin out of the same vial, not having happened before with the same vial or after with the same vial. My body would not randomly attack this substance if its already been exposed to it 5 times already.The reason my lump appeared was as already mentioned, I injured/ruptured a capillary. The resulting lump and BRUISE is due only to this. A mosquito bite or any other immune induced inflammation will not present with a bruise, but merely a lump.
And unless your analyzing a sample, how can you presume the reaction is due to a very specific strain of bacteria, as you said, E. Coli? There are billions of bacterium that could violate the integrity of an unsanitary product.

There is a distinct difference between a bruise caused by hitting a capillary and a lump which "itches a bit like a bite" inducing inflamation causing - swelling, itching, warmth or burning sensation, redness (not the same type as a bruise via ruptured capillary, generally a very dark red, blue and purple). These reactions/symptoms are an immune response and not a simple bruise.

I was clarifying that a painful lump at injection site doesn't automatically mean an immune response. It could be a ruptured vessel, and sometimes pinning too rapidly or forcefully can cause a red lump. We cannot unilaterally state a lump equals immune response, or that a product is fake....

 

[peterhulley]

get exactly the same thing but not every shot. Was shooting ghrp 6 and cjc in the same shot, however now that I shoot them individualy I dont get the problem with the g6. Was doing 100mcg of each but have swithched to doing the cjc twice a week, makes rotating around the giant bee sting a bit easier.took some anti histamine a couple hours ago but aint done nothing yet

 

[disgraziato]

Distinguish between if you're having a histamine response, or if you're just using an incorrect injecting procedure. Always make sure your pin is sharp, not all used up and dull; Inject s l o w l y, don't shoot it in forcefully, you'll rupture vessels for sure. Absent all of this, perhaps it is caused by your immune system, but it will dissipate with time.

also getting pain

I am mixing CJC-1295 and GHRP-6 in the same pin, 2 ticks for the GHRP-6 and 5 ticks for the CJC-1295. I'm getting soreness 2-3 hours after the injection and last a couple days. Got my peps from CEM products along with the bact water. Anybody have an idea what is going on?

 

[disgraziato]

Muscle soreness? Or a lump? what?

 

[forklift28]

I would contact the source you got the peps from..I had a red dot in one of my vials.So I contacted them by e-mail and even sent a picture of the bottle and they sent me another with no questions asked.I would suggest taking a pic of your lumps or bruises and describe to them what is going on and they might send you some more..they definitely don't want the bad publicity.Just a suggestion that worked for me even though we had entirely different situations.
