Possible infection?

Hey EF

Four days ago i injected 1ml/250mg test e in my left quad with 5/8" niddle but i didn't bury
the niddle too deep ...
48 hours later injection site became pink and very painful and it was a little hot to touch and i feel kinda feverish.
So i went to hospital and Dr checked the injection site and he said don't worry,it's not infected and gave me ibuprofen and hydrocortisone cream.
it is 2 day that i am taking the medicine dr gave me and pain and warm feeling 50% is gone but injection site is still pink and a very small lump has been developed since then.

what do you think? should i go to another dr?

Can you go to an urgent care type of place for a second opinion?

99.9% of the time it isn't an infection

your doctor is right

you don't magically get an infection 48 hours after, infections take time to develop.. it is bacterial infection lol. assuming your gear isn't dirty

anyway what you have here is tissue irritation, and it will take a while to go away.. more like 7-10 days. in the mean time stop playing with it

and the lump that you notice is an abscess. it is simply oil clumped up which will dissipate over time.

If the doctor said that it is not an infection, then most probably it is not. Follow her recommendations, and give it some time to get recovered. Don't touch that site, and don't worry. Just keep an eye on it from time to time, and if something will get worse go visit the doc again. But if it does not get worse, then most probably everything is ok, and you just need some more time to get fully recovered.

Sounds to me like you injected into your IT band by mistake. That would be an extremely painful injection.

In this article series I explain how to do injections -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums...er-injection-techniques-–-part-2-a-49351.html

The quads are a pretty tricky injection site. If you don't do it perfectly, you can very easily hit a vein or a nerve. I have details photos on how to do quad injections in the article series.

Sounds like you might have had an abscess too. The fact that you didn't go deep in the muscle makes me think that.

well does it go on its own or i should go to hospital to drain it? cause injection site is 90% better now and i can hardly feel the lump i mentioned above and it is not visible at all.
i think what Steve has said is closer to my situation

No, I would just let it go away on its own. The only time you would ever need to go to the hospital is when you legitimately have an infection. It sounds like you will be just fine in a couple days.
