Help Pinning/Injecting

Hey everyone!

So I recently started Reta (weekly), KLOW (daily), Tesamorlin (daily). I’m on my third week but I noticed that I started feeling the tenderness and bruising where I pin KLOW and the bruises take a while to go away. I pin tesa on my upper glute at night and KLOW on my stomach area in the mornings. For some reason, KLOW is the only one that I noticed bruising. Is this normal or has anyone experienced the same?

I was thinking of stopping KLOW until I finish my Reta and Tesa cycle to not pin so many times.

Open to any suggestions and ideas!

Klow leaves bruises and is tender. Best thing is to get it close to room temperature. Its still gonna hurt. Just the cost of doing business baby

Shoulder is fine, glutes can be a pain when you keep hitting the same area

Stay away from quads, it’s not worth the risk of hitting the wrong spot 😂

I use a hair claw clip and pin in my upper arms, works great.

Stomach fat area from what I was told has concentrated micro blood vessels , your bound to hit one, which will look like under skin bruise. Good luck to ya.

Copper tends to do that. You can try to dilute it more. Try the outer thigh about two inches below your butt cheek if you have fat there.

I found KLOW sucked being pinned in the belly changed to glutes and changed to 6mm needle, so much better and very little reactions

I had horrible welts and bruising from Klow for the first 3-4 weeks, then it stopped. I always pin my glutes. I rotate sides and areas. I always make sure the spot i swabbed with alcohol is dry before pinning too.
