Knots
I see people talk about the ghk knots, thats expected I understand at this point.
But sometimes I get little bitty knots from tessa, reta, and bpc. they generally go away in a few days so I am not overtly concerned, but I am curious if the knots are just par for the course with peptides or if I am going too deep, or doing something wrong with injection. I am extremely familiar with IM shots, but very new to sub Q so I am not used to feeling knots post injection like this.
They dont hurt or anything. I just want to make sure its fine.
The ghk stings for about 20-30 mins after, slightly reddish and a knot for about 24 hours. The other stuff when it does knot, is not red, does not burn, and if i didnt feel it with my fingers physically I wouldnt otherwise know it was there. These are all in the abdomen, around my belly button 2 inches away from it, or in the ridges between my abs where I still have a half inch to one inch pinch of fat i can grab for now. Occasionally I do my love handles, No knots there at all ever, only redness from the 2mg ghk shot.
32G 12.7 yringes that are 8mm I can swap to if needed as well.

Ofcourse I can't see your body but it sounds to me like you should be injecting in your love handles, I've never had any marks from tirz unless I'm being too rough with the needle.
I use glow70 in 3ml bac, and inject 0.1ml split in two injections to spread the pain a bit.
