another bad injection thread -first for me tho- need advice

[lartinos]

thats a lot of oil, you wanna switch to a t400 from a reputable lab. Some guys have t400 that is enanthate which is supposed to be painless.

I never had this occur until my current cycle, and I got the biggest most painful lump I have ever seen before. I actually thought I had an abcess, so I immediately jumped on some antibiotics.

It lasted hardcore for about a week and a half, then around day 10, i woke up and the pain was completely gone. It was weird.

I massaged the area while in the shower and getting beat on by hot water. Other than that and the antibiotics I didnt do anything special.

I was so frustrated, and damn near crippled to the point I couldnt walk, I almost wanted to pull a "Greg Valentino" and just start jabbing pinz in me trying to drain the lump... yes it was that fuckin painful, lol.

Hopefully I never experience that shit again.

Went to the Pharmacy and picked up Advil --good advice thanks.
Applied ice so far cause its still a bit swollen. Gonna apply a heating pad throughout the day and see if that helps eliminate it.

So far I'm feeling a bit better today. Still got that bruise but it hasn't got any bigger so thats a relief. Back is still swollen Like I said but less sore than yesterday.

Thanks guys - seriously!! Thanks for the support. Sometimes these little mishaps are a good reminder that we need to be more careful with these powerful hormones. I know I take 'em for granted sometimes.


K to all of you

like matty said, I think you hit a vein bro. Those symptoms the next day are not infection; that will take a little longer. You'll be fine. Just keep an eye on it and give the area a break from the pins.

I think you're right, I must have hit a vein like you said because it DID bleed when I pulled the pin out -- and it was quick to bleed.
This sucks
Got a big day tomorrow so I gotta be 100%

I dunno, I am not an expert on this but 2.5 cc's seems like a lot. If it were me I would probably split that dose and use 2 different injection sites.

2.5 cc's should be fine for glute shot. Most I've done before is 3 cc's in the glute, and would not reccomend more that in a single injection.

I have this pillow that is filled with little balls inside---you throw it in the microwave for 5 minutes & it's a great heating pad that last about a half hour.

I got mine from a massage place. It works great.

A deep glute injection should be able to handle up to 5ml. On a large-volume injection, massaging is contra-indicated due to likelihood of damaging muscle fascia. On a small one, it's mostly irrelevant whether you massage.

Pain and lumps over the first day are almost always due to the gear crashing in the muscle or to physical damage during the injection. Infection worries come later. As you've already concluded, it was likely a vein and maybe you passed straight through one. A heating pad works wonders to loosen the muscle.

As ever, if it starts to look grim or you feel light-headed or feverish, seek help.

The most ive ever done was 4cc in my glute. That was A LOT of oil hehe.
