Ugh, infection question.

[MisterSuperGod]

Sunday night i injected .4 ml of Test Cyp 250 mg/ml in Miglyol into my right triceps. The area has been swolen since the following day, but not a big deal, because i get that regardless of where i inject with this stuff.

i should also mention, this is not a new vial and i've had many trouble free (besides PIP and swelling) injections from it.

Last night i happened to flex and noticed that there's a small lump, maybe an inch or so away from the injection site. i'm hoping it just that the oil didn't stay in one spot and kinda leaked down, which i've had similar experience with, but with other carrier oils, but never wound up like this.

However this lump is kinda squishy feeling, almost like there's water in there, then again, Miglyol is close to water in consistency, kinda, sorta.

There's no unusual amount of heat emanating from it and no brusing or coming to a head like a pimple right now, though it is a shade of red, but i would think that it would be, as it is a protrusion that's stretching the skin. There's a little PIP, bit it isn't sore to the touch.

My thought was that on Tuesday when i did upright rows, the movement caused it to leak into subcutaneous tissue and it pooled in that spot, close to the surface.

i know you guys aren't doctor's, but maybe some similar stories or a little hand holding and telling me i'm pretty would calm my nerves a little.

I can't offer any personal experiences, but I would absoloutly have my wife try to draw fluid out of it.

i was thinking of trying it, but if it's some sort of contained, sterile abscess, i don't want to break it and suffer those consequences.

An infection would take longer than a week to manifest man, wait 10 days for it to go away, if not go to the doc.

Appreciate the insight. Now tell me i'm pretty so i can get back to work without this hanging over my head. Really though, thank you for the input.

You are the most beautiful.

Would wait a few days before going to the doc (unless it gets worse). I had that once in my delt, my upper arm was a bit of red and had Some pretty good pip. Went away after like 7days.

Tricep seems to be tricky, noticed quit similar stories. Would most definitely not try to draw it out lol

I had one in my butt a couple years ago and she sucked out some white puss with a 23g. Probably shouldn't have done that...

Yeah too soon to be a full blown infection I think. How deep did you inject? Sometimes a shallower injection just doesn’t take for some reason and the oil pools into a nearby area. Give it a few more days to see if it begins to dissipate/absorb. Keep an eye on it for swelling and if you get a fever then likely infection has set in. Then time to visit the doc for a course of antibiotics. Good luck and take care of this.

90% a sub q leak don’t drain it!!
Aspirin and massage it as much as you can will help it dissipate faster

@MisterSuperGod what's up brotha!

1/2" insulin needle. They've been giving me problems with leakage, especially in the delts, but never anything freaky like this. Which is weird, 'cause i'm not fat, i'm not ripped either, but definitely not fat.

Probably go back to 1" and leave triceps alone from now on.

I've had this same issue before @MisterSuperGod. As a matter of fact it was with a 1/2" insulin needle as well but in my case it was in my delt.

The next day after my injection I felt a slight pain but nothing unbearable. 3-4 days later I still had the same pain. It felt like the oil was between the superficial and deep fascia. Soft, tender, with a slide shade of red. Went away after 1-1.5 weeks. IMO I did not inject deep enough.

 

[MisterSuperGod]

Thanks guys. Your input puts my mind at ease. i have a perfect track record as far as steriliy is concerned. Never suffered an infection and sure didn't want to break my streak with this one.

Try 5/8th x 25g..I find it a perfect middle ground especially for areas such as traps, biceps, and late.

Keep an eye on your body temp via a thermometer, a cheep way to gauge if you’re fighting an infection. Antibiotics should be a last resort. I hope you get well soon brother.

I always prefer 1” x 25g pins. Quads and delts are my main injection sites. Anyway you got this figured out. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

i remember looking for 3/4" needles at one point and found that wasn't very common, at least on the sites i was checking. 5/8" sounds perfect. Definitely going to pick those up.

i appreciate the help and the well wishes. Thanks, brother.

You're pretty. Stop being a pussy. You'll be fine.

 

[k0rkscrew]

Just had this happen to me last pin. Wife and inj glute and said the needle pushed itself out. Tried the other side and same thing but she held that fucker in there til inj was done. Just a leak into sub q. It's gone now after 4-5 days.

Same thing just happened to one of my wife’s patients.

They had to amputate his arm.



Look at it this way at least you’ll closer to your actual avi

Stop being a pussy and rub some dirt on it!
