Injection site irritation after BPC‑157 rounds – any tricks to calm it down?

I’ve been injecting BPC‑157 250 mcg once a day into the thigh for a torn hamstring and it’s been doing wonders for the tear, but the injection sites have become a bit of a nuisance. The first few weeks I felt sharp burning right after each shot, and over time a dull, persistent ache that flared up if I pressed hard or lifted a heavy weight. I’ve tried using the pump’s smallest needle gauge and rotating sites, but the irritation still lingers.

I wondered if pre‑injecting with a small dose of an NSAID gel or a cool compress could lessen the discomfort, or maybe soaking the site in warm water before shooting to increase local blood flow. I’m also curious if anyone has tried using a topical anesthetic patch or a little lidocaine gel before injecting to blunt the sting without interfering with peptide absorption. Anyone else notice a pattern of injection‑site soreness with BPC‑157 and has a simple, safe routine that helps? A steady, gentle method would be helpful because I’m not ready to stop using it for the healing benefits, but the post‑shot pain is getting on my nerves.
