abscess or overreacting?

[Alpine`]

First off this is my 3rd cycle. Im running 500mg Iranian Test E and 300mg BD Tren Depot (para) a week. Im also running BD dbol @ 30mg/day.

I didn’t think with the quality of gear I use and the safe/sterile injection practices I would ever have a problem. I guess it can happen to anyone no matter how much experience you think you have or how safe/clean you try to be. I’ve always used reputable human grade amps in the past. This is the first time I’ve ever tried a UG company (BD). My injection methods are as sterile as possible and by the book. I clean the counter (disinfect) and I dont even allow anything to touch it. Needles are capped at all times and laid back in plastic - they never touch anything. I use a separate pin to draw and inject. I swipe the vial stopper with alcohol every time and my hands are always super clean. I also swab the injection site with an alcohol swab.

So far every injection has been painless. I have never even had so much as a knot before. Ive done 1 week of Tren so far. I noticed that the tren seems thicker than ICNs and Iranians I have used before. I can "feel" the oil in my glute more. The pressure of the oil in the muscle post injection is more noticeable but still painless. I mixed 1cc iranian & 1cc tren and injected in each glute. I followed up about 3 days later with my final 1cc of tren in the right glute again. Since I never used Tren i didnt want to try a delt yet because I was unsure how I would react to UG with possible higher BA content. I also didnt want to do a full 3cc (2cc tren) at once since I'd never used it before. This past Sunday evening I started my 2nd week: 2cc in each glute (1cc test, 1cc tren) again. My left glute is totally painless and normal but as of yesterday I have noticed that my right glute is slightly swollen and there is some pain. I cant feel a specific knot but more like a general area of swelling in my upper glute. The pain is not bad but its not normal. If the barely noticeable dull ache of an injection site the next day was ranked 1 on a 1-10 scale this would probably be a 3.

Im thinking the oil (especially the thicker tren) just hasn’t dissipated in my right glute yet. I find it a bit hard to believe I have an infection this quickly and also considering my injection standards and gear quality. Still, im a bit paranoid and concerned as an abscess would really suck. I dont feel like explaining this to a doctor. It doesnt seem worse today but its also not better. Its not getting larger but the same pain is still there. I tried massaging it a lot last night but I dont know if it helped. Im going tanning today and hoping that the heat on my glute could help. Obviously I have no fever and no redness (probably wouldnt see anyway because my ass is so tan)

Another note, I am on Ampicillin (alternative to tetracycline) to help prevent back/shoulder acne at the moment. Although this is probably not the same type/dose of antibiotic for an actual abscess at least its something. It cant hurt...

What do you guys think? I want to prevent an infection or abscess. Im thinking its probably just some oil that will eventually dissipate. I will definitely lay off that injection site until its better. This is probably more common with people who are used to using QV and other MexVet injectables but for me its a bit alarming.

Im keeping an eye on it. Thanks for listening....

You're overreacting. Is it red, swollen? Is the area hot? If not, you're okay.

Its hard to tell if its red because my ass gets so tan from laying in the tanning bad. The glutes really seem to darken up

It doesnt feel any hotter than the other cheek, still its hard to tell.

I think you should be fine, alpine. Same thing happens to me every once in a while. It ususally stays sore for 5-6 days. Did the needle move around a little when u were injecting? That might be the problem. Anyways, no worrys brother!

I dont think so. Me and my roomate actually inject each other so we normally have real steady injects. Easier to aspirate and so on this way also, especially with glutes.

I did have a glute spasm once in the past and the pin moved around a lot. It was slightly more painful for 2-3 days but i had no swelling.

The odd thing about this is i didnt notice any pain/swelling until yesterday evening and the injection was actually on Sunday evening - felt fine that night and monday.

dude i think you'll be fine, the same things happens to me every now and then with qv 250 (test eth.) its kinda funny cause sometimes it may happen with the first week or maybe not till 3rd or forth but it always passes in 4 or 5 days, just stick it out unless it starts to swell or something like that

 

[marshallmadman]

I have the same reaction to Test E. You're okay bro.

I've had close to the same thing happen to me last month injecting QV Deca into my glute. The area swole up are fairly large amount.. the spot became a 'bruise' look about 5 inches long and 2-3 inches tall. I wasn't happy, to say the least.

My doctor told me, along with members of the board, that it was probably just an allergic reaction and may never happen again. Since then, I've never had the problem again. It took near 2 weeks for the swelling to go down, but even weeks after that I could feel the slightest bump under my skin.

If you don't feel sick, possible fever; and it's not 'hot to the touch,' I wouldn't worry about it much. It should go away on its own. Although, I'd shoot the tren in the other glute next time and make sure you get up and move around after you make the injection.

That seemed to be my problem that day. I shot the Deca, then drove for an hour and ten minutes near directly after. Big mistake on my part. By the time I got to my destination, the lump had formed, but the color was still normal. As time passed, it got darker, then back to normal again.

Now, I just shoot in my quad, then make sure and walk around for a bit afterward. Never had a lump since.

If it is indeed an abscess, the Ampicillin will at least prevent it from getting really bad and/or spreading rapidly - wont it? I know a more powerful type/dose would be prescribed to wipe it out. I really dont think its that bad - yet at least.

Based on just pain, maybe its a sterile abscess at most? This never happened with ICNs :{ that Tren seems thick....

I answered a simular question for rpol the other day, maybe too much in one spot maybe a sensitive spot. Don't want to go into great detail on it right now but just (ice) it instead of applying heat. If you need more info look up rpol's post from yesterday he's fine now =P
