Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I did a site injection into the bicep yesterday at 3pm and this morning (10am) i noticed that the muscle was puffy, warm, and pink looking. I got 5 days worth of Azithromycin, and i took my first 2 pills this afternoon (4pm)- my bicep was still warm, red, and puffy. My personal opinion is that i have a staff infection- had one before, and they develop this fast. Question to any Docs out there: Do you think i'll be OK with the z-pack treatment? or should i go see a doctor even if the site looks good tomorrow? Pray for me fellas, staff is serious shit, and the BOX doesn't have insurance!
I think i gots an infection!

What juice did you inject and how much? If you used sustanon, the red and pain is normal. If you injected too much juice too quickly, your symptoms could be normal. If the area remains red and warm for more than 3 days, you most likely have an infection. You should not take antiobiotics haphazardly!! 5 days worth are not enough if you do have an infection. After 5 days of antibiotic use, you haven't killed all of the harmful bacteria and it will come back even stronger!! Keep an eye on the injection area and get medical attention if necessary! An infection is nothing to play around with! Do you use proper sterilization techniques when you inject, ie, swabbing your vile and injection area with alcohol etc.?
I used FINA @ 1cc/80ml (homemade and, yes, i followed the directions to sterilize- i even did it a second time three day after making it to be sure). I've been on it for two weeks, so i know what to expect from it. It would be half hazardly of me to let an infection brew for two more days until i can see a doc- like i said i had staff once and three days later i went to see the doc. he put me on Azithromycin, and told me that if i had waited he would have recommended amputation! BTW 5 days of Azithromycin is like 15 days of penicillin. Went i inject, i swab the vial, pull the oil with one needle, swab the site with a new swab, inject with a completely different needle, and then swab the site with, yet, another new swab- so i'm pretty sure my gear got contaminated. I won't be continuing my use of homemade anabolics- that's for sure. In fact my days as a steroid user are probably over!BigGuns2 said:

Hey Bro if that shits dosnt start going away , makesure you got to the doctor. An infection is nothing to fuck with I had one once and put it off till I could barely walk. I ended up going to the doctor told him i was using steroids and i thought i had an in fection. Well he gave me antibiotics and it was gone about a week later.he also told me that if i waited any longer that id probably have to have that shit cut open fuck that it's not worth it. Wll good luck bro hope that shit gets better.
i inject prop EOD, the first time i shot it i got a swollen muscel and it hurt, was a little pink for about 3-5 days. it was not infected just irritated. same thing happened when i took 4cc or sustaretard in my right glute on my first shot of my cycle. it went away tough, it just took a while and it reoccored on every shot but each time it was less and less, not 15 days into my cycle prop feels just like sust or even deca when i inject, pain free. hope that helps. jsut chill out for a few more days and watch it.

It really is too soon to notice an infection. I would give it another day or so. It sounds like normal swelling to me. If not hit the z-pack. That should clear any problems. Best of luck to you.

ChrisOh, i used "finakits" 4gm kit. I doubt its a "reaction" to the Fina, since i've taken it in the bicep on three different occasions and i've been poking myself ED for the past 2 weeks. My injection techniques are flawless, so i'm sure that the gear got contaminated. My advice to anyone who is still using or considering the use of homemade stuff- bake your gear regularly! Once every week or so should be adequate.
rperry, i've never taken prop, or sust, or test for that matter. This would be my first cycle- some luck, huh? I'm not sure what those other injections feel like, but i know what a normal Fina injection feels like- this is definitely not normal. I usually have a mild to extensive soreness at the site of injection, depending on where i inject (i have more nerve endings in my right quad, which makes injections hurt more their). This is much different. I felt the soreness, then it was replaced with a hot and puffy feeling- including discoloration a 1/2 inch above the site that covered most of my bicep (an area approx. 4 inches long and 3 inches wide). It just kept getting hotter, as well.
HighIntensity, thanks for the prayers! The area's still puffy and warm to the touch, but hopefully the Z-pack will clear that up by tomorrow morning. I am just lucky to have friends close to the medical industry. Being a student has its disadvantages!

Well, back in my Jr high days i had a mosquito bite on my calf blossom into a staff infection- literally overnight . I visited the doctor 2 days later, after playing some basketball in gym class. He told me that if i had waited another day, he would have recommended amputation of the entire muscle! Could you imagine at 14 how i felt to hear that come from a professionals mouth? Infection can spread fast bro, believe that.firstenrgy said:

if this did not happen on your first few injections its probably not a reaction to the new compound in your body, if it happened on your second week than it may be contaminated gear and or a flaw in the injection process. i know you say your process is perfect but some times shit just happens. few days then see a doc.

FWIW, last cycle I used homebrew Tren. Was doing delt and bicep injections daily. Don't know what happened with one of my bicep injections, but the next day the area around the inj site became red and puffy, and it stayed like that for a couple days. However, the color slowly came back to normal and the slight swelling went away. I thought for sure I had an infection, but I think it was more a reaction to the high amount of BA in the product.

I think his antibiotic is zithromax Its 5 pills for 5 days but keeps working for like 2 weeks. Consider it amoxicllin decoanate. That shit is strong, and really expensive. If they dont know what you got they give you that shit. Its a third generation antibiotic I believe.
Woke up this morning and the area is still slightly pink and warm to the touch (though not as hot as it was when I was typing my original post). It’s also still swollen (puffy) a little, but none of my lymph glands show signs of inflammation and there are no red lines going towards my heart. I'm going to take my second dose of Zithromax this afternoon and keep an eye on it. I'll let you guys know how I’m doing tomorrow.
sounds like a little progression, it will be fine, dont worry bro. i hated it when i happened to me cause it was so out of the ordinary, i got scared and posted up here and i was informed in an hour of everything to do! its times like this when this board really makes a diffrance!!!
at the end of the day i would notice a little more swelling than morning but that is proably from blood getting to the area and not being able to recurculate from it, and from all the irritation of walking miles accross campus and sitting in those hard ass chairs,it happened in my glute and it was a PITA

there is a guy at my gym who injected some brovel shit in his bi and he had to have it drained and stapled back together, let me tell you he now only uses human grade american shit
Just an update before i go to bed, guys. The area is still slightly pink but some of the color is coming back to it (could be my imagination, though). The area is still warm, but not HOT like yesterday. Also, it started itching tonight at work. I rub it very lightly but the itch is under the skin and it's impossible to get relief- besides i don't want to mess with it to much. I hope it's a good itch, like when a scab is healing- at least that's kinda what it feels like... anyway, until tomorrow.
This morning it's looking much better- hardly any abnormal coloring in the skin. The warmth is localized near the site of injection now, and the rest of the muscle feels normal- though it many still be a little larger than it was prior to the injection. I'm going to do cardio. I'll watch it today to see if it get flushed (red) from running. If not, tomorrow is chest and tri's- i don't want to miss my favorite workout!
