Ugh, infection question.

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.
It probably is infected and needs amputation if it is from that MSG gear.
 
I think the trick to avoiding lumps/PIP is to go down deep as possible. I myself am pretty lean,, and yet,, I can completely put a 1 inch guage in my triceps, delts, chest, traps, without problems. Next time, just use a 1 inch guage, and go deeper. If you hit the bone,, like I have many times,, nothing bad happens from it
 
my brother already has a lump golf size at the right glute site. At start it was a small one...now is as i said golf ball. no redness no bruise no pain. he visited the doc. surgeon. he told him that its an intramascular lump. he gave him a specific antibiotic , i dont remember now. told him not to massage it! not to touch it , as long as it has no pain and give no problems. after 2 weeks of medication he will recheck it and in the worst scenario told him that it will stay there, no need to remove it and that he will have it. ofcourse if you want surgery he will remove it, but as long as it dont give problems its not dangerous. Already he is one week on antibiotic and the golf ball remains intact. His main concern is that he cant inject at right glute now :D
This happened from winstrol
 
my bro informed me that the lump started to decrease in size with the medication. Today the size was way smaller

Wow you don't know the difference between PIP and an abscess? Gear has alcohol in it and you cannot differentiate between searing alcohol in your muscle vs pus? That's mindblowingly stupid! :-)
 
First time this has ever happened, so no and fuck you. :)
Haha just kidding with you! But seriously, what I would tell somebody about steroids before their first cycle on what to expect. You will be limping on one leg throughout the first cycle from PIP and eating as much as you can even though you are not hungry.

An infection doesn't show up within 24 hours like PIP does, the way the lump would appear and the feel of the lump, if there is one, would be different. Like I said though it's the alcohol that's searing your muscle, I like to visualize it and that makes it easier to decipher who the culprit is. The bacteria or the alcohol...

This was my first experience with the way it leaked down and became a soft egg (of sorts) on my triceps. i've done countless injections and have had plenty of PIP and firm swelling, but just the way this pooled and was kind of squishy had me worried.

i've had this happen in the delts, where the oil leaks and pools right around where the delt meets in-between the biceps/triceps, but it was never this pronounced or soft.

i appreciate the replies, man and welcome back.

That has happened to me twice in my tricep and once in my bicep! It's a pretty shabby pain. Thank I appreciate 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.

Who knows but based upon your description, at this point anyway, it’s more likely to be sell limiting porcesses such as a; seroma, hematoma or a depo extension but in the absence of infectious signs or symptoms I’d suggest the use of an entirely different site, which should enable it to resolve (absorb) spontaneously.

And for what it’s worth bc of the involved anatomy unapproved injection
sites (those that are NOT used in medical practice) have a considerably higher complication rate IME

You're definitely right. i left well enough alone and thankfully the site is back to normal. Between the nerves that run through that area (that you pointed out in another thread) and this experience, triceps have been removed from my list of injection sites.

Good to hear, bc the complications you have experienced, among others, are the reason the Triceps is NEVER used as a parenteral depository in Medicine.

To that end IME underdevelopment (AKA my weak spot doc) is the most common reason cited by those using unapproved IM sites and in spite of the fact spot injections do not enhance focal SKM anabolism.

Bc of their relatively sparse blood supply the use of unapproved sites allows for depot stacking such that the appearance of gains is actually the result of accumulated oil, which approximates the effect of Synthol.

Be safe my friend
