Crap my arm is swollen up

On monday night I shot 1cc of deca 300 and 1 cc of sustanon into my right tricep. I did arms on tuesday and felt great during the workout. I had only slight pain from the injection which was pretty normal...then later that night my arm swelled up and my tricep and elbow turned bright red. The pain was so bad I couldnt sleep at night. The next day it looked worse and I could barely move it and I ended up not lifting that day or thursday. Today its still swollen up but not as much and I went to do chest but there was still a very tight feeling to my arm and it was in some pain so I just decided it would probably be best not to train again. My question is what the hell did I do wrong when shooting up. I did it after I showered with new pins and rubbed my arm down with an alcohol pad first. I dont think my arm is infected either but just bloated up. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
 
arm shot

In my humble opinion, 2cc's is way too much for a tricep shot. Do either of these make you sore anywhere else? If they do, remember your tricep is about 1/10 the size of your glute hence, only able to handle 1/10 the size injection!
I don't know for sure, but sounds like logic to me. Also I thought the accepted shot size for arms was 1/2-1cc Max. I doubt very much if you have an infection, so wait a day or two to see the doc. A infection will just keep getting worst really quick! IMO just a real sore tricep.
My .02 keep us posted GB :cool:
 
I swell from sust when I inject into a glute. You probably did nothing wrong, just the muscle reaction to the compound. Tri is a small muscle group, I would not put prop or sust in a tri.
 
I usually shoot the same thing into my delts or biceps so I thought it would be ok for the triceps. Maybe I should have stopped and thought about it first though cause your right that does sound like it was probably way too much. At least I got in all my muscle groups once this week
 
Is this deca from an under ground lab? If it is then it might be the high BA they use because 300mg per 1cc is a lot to suspend in concentration. Could be that also. Although, I have known some sustanon to do the same.
 
I get the same swelling from Sust. That's why I don't use it. I just use enanthate instead. Test is test anyway, despite the ester.

And 2cc is not too much to inject into small muscles. I have injected 2cc many times into the tris and rear delts with no problems.

Bro,
Shooting 1cc of sust. into a tricep is not a good idea even when cut...2ml is 2 much
