Does The Muscles Get Sore After Injecting Testosterone?
After I inject myself with a 1ml dose of testosterone in my right cheek (glut?) the whole muscle group it was given in gets very sore for at least two weeks. It does not ache, just very sore to the touch. This is my second time to do this and the results are the same. Is this normal? A problem? Did not happen while I was going in for the shots.

Hello,
It can happen after intramuscular injection.
It is due to local inflammation and will settle by itself.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply warm compresses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
