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

[iHulk]

yesterday after a heavy back day I injected 2.5 cc of T-e into my left glute.
Didn't massage the area that well afterwards -was in a hurry. Today, woke up with a sore ass and lower back. Figured it was from the back workout.

Now it proceeded to get worse and worse all day and my entire lower back is swollen. I got a black and blue bruise on the injection site. In all my years I've never had such swollen lumps and let alone bruising.

Took some Tylenol and got ice on it now. Any advice?
am I gonna die? j/k
but seriously, what the fuck to do?

this always works for me, get a towel pour some hot water and rub it on your glute and massage it,you can also get some heating pads ...

the only time i've ever been both bruised and swollen in when i hit a vein.
if this is the case, you'll be fine, however if conditions worsen, do the obvious.. hit up the dr.'s

Take a heating pad to work and sit on it all day. Works for me the few times I have had to resort to it.

 

[jonny jacked]

i used to always massage the site after an injection - I then recently was told that this is a bad idea?

anyone else hear of this?

as a side note, when I was getting my HRT test shots from the doc, they would never massage the area after the injection.

I really do think it depends of where, what, and how much you inject. I have rubbed like a mad man, used a heating pad, and even sat in a hot bath.

Sometimes still will get that huge tennis ball lump. Test E 400mg/ml is killing me. npp is like cake, but when i have to inject 2.5cc of TestE and NPP, i always get a lump.

 

[babbabuee]

maybe i'm the only one that saw his lower back is sore? that's strange. sounds like it was your workout, but you know better than we do if it's due to the inject or just a good back workout. make sure it doesn't get red/swollen, hot etc..

Know the feeling,been doing 2cc of Test supension per day and every time I get a sore lump.

My injection in my glute on Monday has my lower back sore today. It happens sometimes bro.

6 Advil Gel caps ed worked wonders for me. If it doesn't get better in 5 days then get to the Doctor.

 

[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.

 

[immortalis]

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

 

[DJ_UFO]

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.

 

[iHulk]

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.

 

[lazer84]

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.

 

[blut wump]

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.

funny you mentioned that lazer84, my gf just gave me one and it works awesome.
What are those beads inside and how to they stay so hot for so long without melting?

 

[msam76]

Put a wet wash cloth in the microwave then sit on it (the wash cloth, not the microwave). You could also fill an old sock with rice and put that in the mircrowave. Best heating pad I ever made!

thanks for lookin' out bro - sill got some swelling but the bruise is nearly gone. Interesting to know about the 5ml. I wouldn't dare but good to know. I've done as much as 3cc of Sus in my glute and didn't have this prob so it must have crashed through a vein.

Applying an old football injury trick a trainer taught me by applying ice for 20min and then immediately applying heat for 20min --> it acts like those electro-stimulus machines they use when you tear a tendon --it shocks the tissue by increasing an decreasing the blood flow to the area to help repair.

I have no clue---all I know is I feel like a little girl when I sleep with that pillow. At least mine has a tough design on it---muscle cars.

that is A LOT of oil immortalis.
limiting the rest of my sticks to 2cc for the rest of the cycle.

 

[Jon79]

i did 3cc in my delt....fuckin ouch......i don't do any more than 2 now

hope you feel better bro

 

[abomb-2001]

Bump - Did the gel caps work for you Ihulk?

 

[iHulk]

Bump - Did the gel caps work for you Ihulk?

yea bro, thanks! The advil wasn't strong enough for me but it got me thinking more clearly. I went to the Doc and he have me a prescription of 120mg tabs of Arcoxia --its a COX-2 selective inhibitor which is more powerful than a traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

And the fun part: Got a script for Tramadol. That shit is a pain killer on par with high dose Percoset.

I'm feeling 100% better finally today.
Swelling is down. Bruise is gone.
That was some scary shit.

K to ya bro

 

[abomb-2001]

Yeah Tramadol is wonderful. Too bad you can't feel like that ALL the time. Just not reality though. I love me some PK's. Glad everything worked out well for ya. Especially glad you didn't try and pull a Valvolino and lance the thing with a 18g. What a momo.

 

[al420]

Glad your better bro
