DHB injection site pain – has anyone else felt this?

I started a low dose of DHB (dihydroboldenone) a few weeks ago hoping for lean gains, tbh I was curious because it does not aromatize. The first couple of injections were fine but after the third shot I noticed quite a bit of soreness and redness that lasted almost two days. I rotated sites each time but the discomfort seemed to stick around longer than with testosterone enanthate I used before.

I wonder if this is just the compound’s reputation for painful injections or if I’m doing something wrong with the technique – maybe the oil is too thick or I’m injecting too fast. Has anyone else felt similar irritation with DHB? Did you find that warming the vial beforehand or using a smaller gauge needle helped?

I’ll keep an eye on any other changes and plan to get bloodwork soon just to be safe. Would love to hear your experiences and any tips you have for making the process more comfortable. Thanks in advance.
