While it sounds logical. I've done some research and found many many articles and injection guides that ALL say massaging the area is a GOOD thing to help disperse the drug. However, I couldn't find ONE article that said it's a bad thing. I'd love to see an article stating it's a bad thing. I'm not so sure about this one!

Here's some links to guides that all say it's good to massage the area:

theres one problem with that thread about massageing after an injection, if massageing the mucle can push the oil around under there and make it spread out and up, then there goes the theroy of "site injections" to cause facsia(muscle growth from oil being in a tight area causeing the muscle to have less room to expand under the skin). if simple massageing the area causes so much damage then surely pumping the muscles u just shot in would cause alot more disturbence to the freshly injected muscle, so i dont think thats true, other wise how come pro's use synthol in lagging muscles and then work them out, and on every bottle it said to massage the injection sites. so i donno i been massageing for years and i am still a house and ive never had an adcess once or an infection... so go figure
