Thanks man. The heat helped tremendously - also, in case anyone else has similar issue, I did lots of cardio with the idea that it would help move it through - seemed to help. Basically five days of heat, hottub, lifting and cardio with improvements each day. Thanks again.

Time after time I hear of people experiencing injection pain with both UGL
and pharma grade gear. I have decided to put together a little guide and
although most of it won’t be new information to you it doesn’t harm to remind
our self from time to time.
Excessive preservative. If too much benzyl Alcohol is used to formulate the
solution inflammation and pain may result. Pharma grade usually contains 0.9%
Benzyl alcohol where the common senseu states UGL products contain on average
2%. Anything above 1.2% offers no added anti-microbial effects. Due to water
soluable nature of benzyl alcohol tissue irritation of this nature has been
known to “travel” as the excessive alcohol disperses via the blood stream. This
is most common with injection into the quads (vastus lateralis).The pain travels
down toward the knee. This may however be in part due to lymphatic drainage and
leads me nicely to my next point.
Ice and ibuprofen may help with the swelling. Hot baths, showers and massage
of the injection site may help to distribute the injection and reduce pain.
