How to tell if you have an Absess and what to do?

[SLAYER69!]

WOW that was soooo funny people at work are wondering what I am laughing at!!!

Yes, but first I would put a hot pad on it for 10 min, massage it a little. Then streach it out. Then hot pad. Then strech some more. Once it is fully streched and the pain is gone it should not come back again. Might want to use a diff. site each time.

Heating pad is a good idea. Good to use it after shots anyway to help absoption, less pain.

I was going to put that WAV in my signature but don't want people to get fired for playing it at work.

Hope this helps, I have done a run before and it was not nearly as bad as this. I'm on my 4th week this time around and can't really see this sort of pain week after week for another 8. I'm doing 1 1/2ml per prick at one prick a week. Do you think quad injects would be a better idea? I have muscular quads and could probably get a better angle on them. I can't really get a good angle to shoot the glutes. So tonight I'll get a heating pad and do some stretching and hope its not infected. If it IS an absess will it go away on its own with time and/or heat/stretching? FUCK!

Are you using different gear than your last run? Some are just smoother than others. Maybe also try splitting up you shots to twice per week. Sometimes your body will fight it off but don't wait and wait hoping this happens if it keeps going more than a week. Keep us up to date.

Cool will do, thanks for all the info. Hope it gets better fast, I need to get back to the gym. I think the heat/stretching will do the trick. Know of any good heating pads?

I was pretty sure you had an abcess until you said you were using Enanthate. I have been using stealth Enanthate (not sure what you're using) but I have severe pain at the injection site about 3-4 days after the injection. I did my first shot of 1cc in my delt and thought I had a severe abcess 3 days later. The pain and swelling subsided after about 5 days.

Enanthate can be very painful from my experience, and from what others have posted, depending on what brand you're using. It may just be the Enanthate. If it is, going forward, don't use more than 1/2cc per injection site, and preferably train that bodypart right after injection. But not using more than 1/2cc per injection site will eliminate 75% of the pain. Sometimes I just go 1/2cc in each delt if I'm using 1cc for that injection. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I did feel kinda warm for the last two days but today no temp at all, actually feel good except for the site pain. Trying to avoid the DR. but will go if its an emergency. So you think soaking in hot bath and then stretching will do the trick. Need to do something about this, haven't been to the gym in 4 days. Was extremely tired on Saturday, slept for about a 5 hour nap. Any other info would be awesome. Think I should stop the cycle or switch the inject site, only my second time around.

hey bro the longer you avoid dr the worst the removal procedure is. lets say it is an abcess they can basically take an ice cream scoop and scoop it out if it hasnt gotten too bad, but if its to far gone they actually put you under and a surgeon cuts all of the dead infected flesh out of your ass. One of my mma friends thats a fighter had this done recently all because he wouldnt bury his needles and the oil collects too close to the skin. So why wait go get it checked

Very true. Like I said, I speak from experience.

this is why I love this forum good bros like you sharing your experiences to help new folks, I think people are too afraid of their doctors, If your injection site is still sore a week later I dont care what the ester is, the oil, you should take your ass to the doctor, me personally Id go to my general practicioner after a few days I saw my boy go through what you wne through they had to send a nurse to his house to pack gause in his ass for weeks.

Bro, this is getting scary. Do you know me? I had a nurse come over my house twice a day to wash it out and re-pack it. Then when it got a little less horrible looking my girlfriend would do it. I threw out my bottle of TTokkyo test.

Damn thats a terrible situation to be in but suprisingly the scar is not that terrible compared to how horrific the shit looked right after.
