Infection scare

[supirman]

I've been using Test Prop at 150mg EOD, and after the first bottle was finished, I switched to a tren/prop combo. I did my first shot from this bottle and went into my right delt. The second day pain was horrific just as it was with the straight prop, so I figured all was well. By the end of the second day, my entire shoulder and half way down my bicep was hard, bright red and hot. I started to get worried b/c it seemed like a possible infection. I continually applied most heat and rubbed it. The redness continued spreading down toward my elbow and covered my entire should and bicep/tricep areas. By the time it covered all this area though, the redness was nowhere near as bright and the hardness was lessened. I now woke up today with the redness still slightly visible, and there is some hardness left, but it seems to be clearing itself up.

I don't know if it was an infection or if I went through a blood vessel or what. Anybody have a similar experience? From inject to now it's been 4 days. Most of the threads on here said to wait it out a bit and I did... things seem to be ok now, as the redness is very slight and the hardness is nearly gone as well.

This is precisely what happened to me when I did my first shot of PL's test enanthate 500, except I injected the quad. The next day, the site began to swell and turn red, and became hardened. After a few days, the entire front of my thigh was EXTREMELY swollen and red, and very hard like it was made of rubber. Bending my leg was absolutely impossible. Even my knee had swollen up so much, that it was almost the same size as my calf... and I have good sized calves and very small knees.

This entire experience lasted an agonizing 10 days. And for about 4 days in the middle of it, it was pure hell. I hope that never happens again.

Damn, yours lasted much longer than mine. I onlly have a hint of redness left and only a small spot of hardness. I was really freaked out for about 2 days, but perhaps my persistent heating/massaging helped to get blood flowing into the area and healed things up. I did another injection of the tren/prop combo in the glute last night with no reaction like I had to the first shot. I guess I'll just chalk it up to a bad injection and hope that it doesn't happen again!

Yeah, you know speaking of injecting the glutes instead... I just started PL's Cyp 300 a couple weeks ago. Everytime I inject the quads or delts, it leaves a big swelled up knot in me for a few days. Now this is much much more tolerable than that Test 500 was... no comparison.

But my point is, when I inject the Cyp in the glutes, there is no soreness, swelling, lump or anything at all. It's like I never even injected anything there, even after a couple days.

So, whatever happened to me is probably what has happened to you. It should be gone soon.

I did that too after that Test 500 shot. I had some Amoxicillin left over from a prescription given prior to having dental work done, so I took some just in case it was infected.

I mean man, my right thigh was probably about 2'' bigger than the left. Too bad I couldn't have the swelling without the pain

I just started site injecting in my tricep with QV Suspension. There is a bump coming through the skin the size of a marble and it kills to touch. Same symptoms as the others. The last time I had this was with QV Entanate that I was putting in my Glute and I got really bad flu symptoms without the fever. Is this ok and somthing I have to deal with or is this something I should really be concerned with.

Well, you need to definitely keep an eye on it. If the area is swollen, hot, red, and you have flu symptoms and/or fever, then you should think about going to a doctor. At the same time though, you don't want to panick at the first sign of a little red lump on your arm. Mine is nearly completely gone now. The red is dissipating, and the area has softened a lot. Keep an eye on it, if you run a fever, it's best to see the doctor.

Also, you should take hot baths a few times/day, as this will open up the blood vessels to allow for greater healing capacity. This is what I did and it seems to help.

Good luck!

quad

I hit my quad and that was dam swolen not to mention soar, no redness though i took 1600mg ibuprophen and some cipro and it went away in 4 days

 

[jeeps]

I used some winny in my right shoulder and the next day my shoulder hurt and was swolen and I felt like shit. The next day I had a temp with my shoulder swollen, the next morning I woke up and i couldnt move my arm because of the shoulder being so swollen. So I felt for a high point in it and took a 1 inch 22 gauge needle and poked it and pulled 22 cc's of hot stinky puss. It felt so much better. So I went to work. When i got home it was swollen back up so I took a sharp knife and cut it open made about a 1 inch long cut by about 1 inch deep and puss just ran out. I then just kept taking a q-tip with peroxide and sticking it down in the whole so it wouldn't shut cuz with an infection you want it to heal from the inside out. It didn't hurt when I cut it because it was swollen so much and I was already in so much pain. I took about 1 week for it to heal right.

no infection. so how much bigger did your arms get? and delts, its water. trust me no infection but EXTREME PAIN. yes i know how you must feel so how are you sleeping, my advise start diluting it with 50mg/50ml EQ, i mean dilute 2cc for every 1 cc, i used to hit my tri's and bis with t-4(your prob came from the large amt. of ba,and prop) anyways my arms would swell 3 inches and not look good but the water retention was so great it looked lke they were difrmed, go ahead and keep doing it in the long run it may be wprth it, pain is intencse and you cant sleep sometimes which is a huge negative cause it hurts your growing,
