Dealing with Injection Site Irritation on the Wolverine Stack

Posted by sleep_coastal in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

5 mg twice a week, for eight weeks. Every time I go into the thigh, the site feels sore, itchy and sometimes a little flaky. The flare starts within an hour and lingers for 24–48 hours.

I tried rotating sites, but the new spot still hurts. I started using a small amount of aloe vera gel after injection; the itching lessens but the swelling remains. I also increased my water intake, which seems to help the tissue recover faster.

I’m wondering if anyone else has used a topical anti‑inflammatory spray or a specific needle gauge that might soften the pain. I’d also like to know if reducing the TB‑500 dose to 2 mg or spacing injections further apart makes a difference. Any tips on injection technique or after‑care that could reduce this irritation without compromising the healing effect would be appreciated.
