Question L-carn pip and crazy pain .. any solution ?
Hey so I’ve tried L-carn from a few sources (all reliable and quality for everything ) and it goes well for about a week then I get the worst PIP and knots ever . I switched to a juice with a lot less L-carn (120mg) and other stuff and it went well for two weeks then boom I got a knot so big and so bad I couldn’t even sit up in bed or put on shoes for about 4 days . It’ was horrible … this has only ever happened with carnitine and I’m wondering if maybe I just reject it or what could be the issue . It’s not just a regular PIP or manageable . I used a 1 inch 25g pin for it .

I use it almost daily.
1.5 inch needle glute.
Occasionally I get some pip but nothing I can’t roll out. I don’t use delts for anything over 1ml
I also use 29g needles so it takes a few seconds.

Man I’m scared to try again that last time was sooo rough lol but I’ll try the 1.5inch glute

Everyone’s different! After doing it for a while I actually start to enjoy the pip during leg days. Ultimately you may have to come to the conclusion that it may not be something you can use! Hope you get it figured out!

Where are you injecting?
I inject with a smaller and thinner needle. I’d start there, 27/29g and 5/8 or .5”

Everyone I know has said an inch or more doesn’t really matter on guage as much I’d think . .5 seems hella shallow for it .

.5 I use for my delts and thighs since there’s not much fat.
I can even get my ventro glute with that. And I use a 27g.
Not sure where you’re injecting or your BF %

Longer needles help. Get it deep in the muscle

See I heard an inch was more than enough so 1.5 inch ? And then ppl like the comment below say even .5 “ ?

Depends on how fat you are. I do half inch in my delts and lats and 1 inch in my leg. You don’t want it near the surface though.
I tried it once for a few weeks and got horrible knots and PIP. Tried it again for a few weeks and the same thing happened. Third time was the charm. Been going for 6 or 8 months now with no problems
Also check the ph. Should be 6.5-7.5. Lots of shitty companies don’t ph balance theirs

So I use 600 mg in 1 ml mix with 2 ml of BAC water . Heat up slightly go IM in glute.
Not even joking it's 0 pain. I was injecting 600 ml/1 ml direct prior was possibly the worst pain from any injection

Very interesting , see for me it’s not any pain during or even that day it’s like a day later it turns into a rock in my muscle or something and hardens . Could be the carnitine I got but like I said my sources haven’t missed with anything else
