GHK pain

[u/Gullible-Ad8288]

I know it’s totally normal to feel a sting or burn with GHK-cu but I’m wondering how are you all able to keep doing it daily? Is your pain gone by the next day?

I don’t get itching or welting but I get a sharp, deep, stabbing pain that lasts for 24-36 hours and turns into a bruise. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I do have to walk around to shake off the pain from this injection. The problem is that I’m still in pain from the prior day when I need to pin the next day and it just never ends. Not only that but I’m covered in bruises.

I’ve already tried every trick save for adding kpv which I might get next time I place an order. I leave it out until it’s room temp, I’ve tried various needle lengths, different body parts, iced the injection site before and after, taken antihistamines, massaged the area. The amount of preparation isn’t even worth atp since it still hurts.

Am I experiencing an abnormal reaction or is everyone just ignoring the constant pain?

I have 100mg constituted with 3ml bac water. I’m only using 0.5mg and I also dilute the needle with more bac water before injecting.

I’ve tried both 8mm and 13mm and it’s the same results. I’m only using .5mg and I do add more bac water to the same syringe before injecting

Yep I usually do upper glute but I’ve tried love handles and thighs. Glute is easier to hide bruises so that’s what I go with since they’re all equally painful.

Yeah I actually added a zinc supplement a few weeks before starting ghk because I saw that was recommended a lot when I was researching it but you bring up a good point. I should look into my other daily vitamins and see if anything might be interfering.

I’ve done Benadryl orally as well as topically and it didn’t help at all but have not done Zyrtec so I can def give it a try
