signs of an infection

If the pain gets worse but the swelling doesn't by tomorrow you should be OK.
The chances are, because it's hard, you ruptured a vein by putting the oil in too close to it and bursting it with the oil pressure.
This usually gets more painful over 72 hours and then drops off. If your swelling gets worse then it may be infected. But that usually takes longer than it did for you to get started. If you have antibiotics start taking them. It can't hurt.

A tale tale sign of an infection is a fever or a rise in body temp. If you take antibiotics make sure you have enough to take them twice a day for seven days. Anything under this could cause more problems.

infection= itching on injection site, redness, swelling. the itching is the best way to tell if it is a infection or if you popped a vein.

Just a thought, but if you have insurance you could go to the doc. Just tell them you did a b12 shot. I did that when i had an infection and I doubt the doc bought my story, but I was treated and glad for it. If you can notice that is it hot to the touch, or noticeably warmer, I'd recommend seeing a doc, better safe than sorry. Oh I did what you did, guessing for about 5 days or so and then I sucked it up and stuck a pin in my delt and drew back to see some pus in the syringe, went right to the ER from there.

Bro I had the same symptoms in my quad, The heat, redness, and swelling. I just knew it was an infection and was worried about it becoming an abcess. It moved from my quad to knee. It swoll up and was sore as hell. I was planning on seeing my doc but it finally cleared up on day 6. I would watch for a fever or if it starts getting worse with the swelling. You should be fine. Just keep a close eye. I still don't know what caused it. Maybe dirty gear(QV Test) or too much at one time and my body didn't like it. I believe you said you only did 1 cc though. Anyway, hang in there, you'll be fine bro.

not taking antibiotics its getting better on its own, the shitiest part of all of this is that I just started my cycle and I haven't been able to work out.... I think my biggest problem was doing straight supertest (450mg/ml) by itself without diluting it, I have since done another shot this time 1/2 cc of supertest with 1cc EQ & 1cc of tren enanthate, no irratation this time. Lesson learned
