I did something generally stupid and I know this, but it brought up some questions. Im getting ready for my first cycle of Test E, but I got really anxious about the pinning process and decided to give it a single test run (no pun intended) before I started my cycle.
I did a first pin in my upper outer quad, 1ml/300mg. wiped the vial top with alcohol rub, used a sterile pin and 18g to draw, then a 25g to shoot. Wiped the pin spot with an alcohol rub to disinfect and shot. Everything was great, aspirated no blood. A couple hours later some PIP set in and for the next couple of days it was like a really bad charlie horse in my quad. Then I started to feel kinda run down and sick, but just a little. Figured it was mild test flu, but it went away as fast as it came.
Then what lead to this post happened. One about day 3 on the inner part of my thigh I got a really light red spot about 6x6 in size that lasted for about 3 days. I also had some general swelling in my thigh, I wasnt sure if it was infection or reaction. I took some Benedryl and the pinkness decreased, but never went away. On about day 5 the swelling moved down my inner thigh to just above my knee. All PIP and this unknown swelling and redness all went away after 6-7 days.
So my question is if this is "normal" for a red spot on the opposite side of my thigh? Was it a reaction or an infection? If it was an infection, I dont think it was anything in my process, it might be the gear should I dump it or try to bake it? Or if its a reaction what should I do? Cut it with sterile oil?
