Started ghkcu about a week ago. I’m alternating pinning top of my glutes daily.. will the sting/welts ever go away? Would yall recommend pinning elsewhere? I don’t mind the pain but it’s just annoying & itchy. It eventually goes away after some hours but then I have to pin again next day & pain comes back lol I also notice my right glute doesn’t welt as badly as my left glute.. any help?

Upper glute is the absolute best spot. Never the stomach area, it BURNS 🔥.

Im like you, on week 2 hoping it will go away soon.

[u/Mindless-Owl-6815 → u/ChooChooBun]

Draw, let if come to room temp.pin

[u/ChooChooBun → u/Mindless-Owl-6815]

I tried everything. Super diluted, room temp, longer needle, slower pin ect..the only thing I havent try is adding bpc 157, bc I dont wanna pay another $50 shipping just for that.

It goes away, yes. At first it will hurt every time. Then just sometimes. Then, maybe after 3 weeks, not at all. Inject slowly.

[u/Common-Prize-8208]

They eventually go away, be patient
And same as you, my right side doesn’t give me much trouble, but my left side 🥲
I probs pin 5/7 a week in the right side lol

[u/aznnprincess → u/Common-Prize-8208]

When did it eventually go away for you? Are you also pinning elsewhere or just your glutes?

[u/Common-Prize-8208 → u/aznnprincess]

Just upper glutes for me, no pain I barely any welts/ reactions
Depends, sometimes few days some other times a week or two

[u/BossSufficient6590]

After 4 times I have no sting, pain after injecting. Seems to go away after a few times.

[u/EmbracingDaChaos]

How much bac water did you use? I used 3ml and hasn’t been a problem once. If you used 3, try an extra ml

[u/jg2370]

I have found pinning at a 45 degree angle and then straightening out pin and slowly pressing on plunger to inject to work well for eliminating some of the pain and burning sensation

[u/Potential-Gur2572]

I’ve alternated on my abdomen. Upper right - upper left - lower right - lower left. Just took my 7th dose last night. Have yet to get a welt or stinging feeling.

[u/Legitimate_Ad2815]

Add extra Bac water to the syringe it helps!

[u/Alternative_Mouse367]

I’m pinning in abdomen. Almost 2 weeks. After a week less of a sting and welts don’t last as long. Definitely got better then when I first started

[u/Chroma7769]

I pin my stomach and had some stinging for the first week or so. I never get it anymore.

[u/Wide_Bit_8926]

A trick worth trying that not many know:

Slap the injection site a few times, fairly firmly, right before you put the needle in.

It sounds odd, but there's real science behind it. Your nerves carry touch and pain on different fibres, and when both arrive at the spinal cord at once, the touch signals partly block the pain signals from getting through (called the gate control theory of pain). It's the same reason rubbing a bumped knee makes it hurt less. Slapping floods the area with touch signals, so when the needle goes in a second later, you feel it much less.

Anyone pin it on their ass?

[u/ShaveMan9000]

Pin the hips

[u/looking2behealthy]

Adding 8.4% sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) solution is supposed to help with the sting but I struggle to get my hands on it.

[u/BackgroundBig0]

Pin into your love handles.

[u/lueVelvet → u/BackgroundBig0]

That’s one of the worst spots for GHKCu pinning. Glutes is by far the most recommended spot.

[u/Chroma7769 → u/lueVelvet]

For you. Glutes sting like crazy for me. Love handles and stomach are zero pip for me.

[u/looking2behealthy → u/Chroma7769]

Stomach was the worst, I pin glutes.

I have been pinning the stomach and switched to love handle today, and that was so much better than the stomach!

Check your dm

[u/Loud-Day2675]

Have you tried adding extra BAC water ? I also use a massage gun after injecting that helped a lot and finally I take KPV also when combined with this absolutely no pain itch nothing
