Are you running a fever?
Is the area warm to the touch?
You may not need the ER, but you at least need to hit the doc in a box first thing in the AM.
Just tell them you sat on a tack.
BTW, You KNOW you deserve to get flamed for this, right? I'll take a rain check. I owe your ass one serious flaming.

Immediately go to the ER. You could be in serious trouble if you do not. Taking doxy was pure foolishness. If anything, you could make the bacteria resistant to antibiotics and then you'll be in even more trouble. Make sure you tell the docs everything, including any antibiotics you have taken. People that have been around for a while know that BBers have died from infections and you need to take this shit seriously.
FYI: NEVER reuse needles. For gods sake they don't cost that much in the first place!!

He is right about the antibiotics. NEVER NEVER take a partial dose or incomplete cycle of it. You're setting yourself up for some very bad shit.
I was a paramedic for 7 years. Graduated #1. That does NOT make me a doc, but I do have experience.
If you're not running a fever and it's not warm to the touch, no need for the ER just yet. Monitor is closely tho.

You probably nicked a vein, or moved the needle around while injecting. Both can cause inflammation/soreness for up to a week.
It can be hard to tell the two apart - and very dangerous if youre wrong about it! Play it safe bro!
Go get it looked at.

Just monitor the area. You should be fine. I didnt really reuse the needle in the sense you have. I went from shooting 1.5cc in my left shoulder, to shooting the other half (1.5cc) in my right shoulder without switching to other needle. The needle gets dull after you use it the first time. Hit a nerve or a dull needle might give you what you have. But that doesnt mean you should re-use it again and again. As the good bro's on this site said, the risk or running an infection is high. Go to the local pharmacy for needles if in a bind, but do go to getpinz.com to get more pinz, they are really cheap bro.
Also you either take the full dose of Antibiotics and go the full cycle or you dont. No half-assing anything. Also if symptoms get worse do go to the ER and tell them as bros above told you. Do not mention AAS's, just tell them you want a tetanus shot and you sat on something, as well as what you took.
Next time be smarter and dont really do this as you dont seem a noob. Its your 5th cycle bro, you shouldnt be that careless, you will get flamed for it at one point....
That being said i hope your worried about nothing bro...

Monitor closely, as i said, i have seen my friends reuse needles with no problems, and some have had symptons you have. Just dont stress it, if you want to play it safe go to the ER but i've had worse symptoms that have come and gone away. I know a lot of bros are gonna flame me for this, but you gonna waste a lot of money in ER and come out telling us it was nothing. If you sanitized the needle, then it got dull, broke the skin real hard and must have hurt a bit, probably nicked a nerve or a vein. Those things can be scary, but not if you can recognize them.
It is stupid using same needle twice, but i've done it. sometimes moving the needle left right can do it to you.
Still if it worsens, and you get sweats or slight chills then its straight to the ER, but i doubt it, i think you're fine.

taking the doxy is not a fuck up. it is not the first drug of choice for abscess but in no way is it a fuck up. You will not make your body resistant off just one pill. The reason they tell you to take the full bottle when they write it is because you have to kill all the bacteria.
If you stop taking it half way through becaue you feel beeter or it looks better then the chance of it coming back again is rather high. Only because you cannt see what is going on inside of you. The symptoms maybe gone but the fight is still going on.
Can you name some BBers that have died from an injection? Just asking not flaming.

You dont have to tell them anything. We see abscess all the time come in and out of here all the time. Most ER docs dont give a shit how you got it. They just wanna treat you and get you on the way to let the next abscess come in. Abscess are a common thing in the community from all areas of life.
Just play dumb.

Like errn said the Docs. don't really care how you got it. My lil cousin, who is in a BAD spot in his life being a heroin addict , reused a needle, IV @ that. Well he wound up getting a really BAD staph infection, and told the Doc. @ the ER exactly how he got it, and they just wanted to treat him, with no hassles, cops, etc...
It could be that the pin became very dull, and did a lil damage on the way in too. Just be careful Bro.! I had a bad infection myself, spider bite, and it can get SERRIOUS VERY QUICK! Like in no time it could go from almost nothing to amputation, and life threatening OVERNIGHT, or a matter of hours!

Wow. I'm impressed. I've posted similar responses many times to guys that think popping an anti-b will save them from getting a chunk of their ass removed if they don't die from Staph 1st. Many times the infection isn't just from reusing needles, it's from hitting the same spot too often too. I never hit a spot again that isn't fully healed.
Most likely there's no need to run to the ER just yet. A walk in urgent care asap should suffice and cost less $$$. On the other hand, if you feel feverish or faint you need to get to the ER asap. I'm guessing you'll get an antibiotic injection and a course of oral anti-bs to follow it up with for 2 weeks. Oral anti-b's alone will not penetrate the infection at this point, they will only make it more resistant to them. The injectable anti- b should be enough to knock the infection down. The orals will work by keeping it from returning.
Lucky you! Enjoy the shitty taste in your mouth and the lethargy from the anti-b's. Stay out of the sun too as they will make you sunburn quite easily.
Retard Alert!!! Ding !!! Ding!!! Ding!!! Code Red!!!
Sorry bro, you had it coming. At least I helped answer your question 1st. When you're all better I'll give you a few abcess horror stories about guys I know. 2 of which were competitive BB's that had their bb careers ended by abcesses I even have one of my own and a permanent dent in my tricep where it was to prove it. Think of a red, hot, small tangerine sized lump under your skin in your tricep. 50ccs of pus drained. The Doc lanced that fucker and it squirted out all over the floor sending nurses scurrying for cleaning supplies. lol OK, enough. Get better dumbass before I add you to the EF Death Pool I'm starting for the retards that think they know how to use insulin safely.

I agree with this gentleman, I am a biomedical scientist, also graduated top of my class.
Medicating yourself with pharmaceuticals as strong as steroids is one thing, however, where did you get the antibiotics? Do you think they are magic beans that if you take one it all goes away?
There are several 'superbugs' out there right now like MRSA (methicillin/multiple resistant staphylococcus aureus), which have arisen from people using antibiotics incorrectly.
Bacteria have varying growth cycles, your immune system may hold things at bay for a bit, however, if you do notice ANY FEVER, HEAT or SWELLING in the area within 24-48 hours, I would get your butt to AE/ER immediately.
Personally I wouldn't take any chances, the number of threads I have seen about BBer having to spend a week in hospital with septicaemia. That would mean what all the other lads of said, just go to ER and tell them what has happened, medical information is meant to be confidential.

If the Dr prescribes you Cephalexin or Amoxycillin you can save a few bucks by buying them at the pet store in the fish meds section. It's the same shit. Rx companies sell their imperfect/broken pills to pet med companies and they are smashed and pressed into new tabs for use in animals.
I know people are thinking I'm fucking with you, but I'm not. I know tons of people that use pet med anti b's because they cost about 20% of what human grade anti b's do.

The one specific case I remember was a pro boxer who lost his leg due to an infection. It was on ESPN a few years ago (can't remember his name). Additionally, Anthony Roberts conducted an excellent interview of the person who ran ttokkyo and he mentions staph infections & death: http://www.isteroids.com/ttokkyo-bust/ I didn't infer it occurs a lot but it can happen. To me, a trip to the ER and spending a few bucks is better getting seriously fucked up.

Don't assume guys, especially ones with no health insurance, have the $$$ to spend on a Dr visit. It could be the difference between being able to eat or not for some. Thankfully the poor can go to county hospitals for free, but sometimes it takes 10-15 hours of waiting to get treatment. This usually means time off of work which hurts $$$ too.
I've always made a living off of being big whether it was being a bouncer, gym desk, bodyguard, or trainer, so I didn't view AAS use as a recreational expense, it was a neccessity(too bad it's not a tax write off.lol). In any other case I'd say you're crazy for using AAS w/o health insurance or the $$$ to afford a Dr visit.

Taking on fucking pill is not going to make him resistant. especially doxy. MRSA is not soley from people taking antibiotics incorrectly. Bacteria become resistant over time to the stuff we throw at them. MRSA used to be a nosicomial infection and now it is being aquired in the community now. Not always due to incorrect antibiotics. Antibiotics evolve and adapt just as man does.
Our MDs have and will give cipro for pts who are MRSA to go home on.

MRSA used to be thought of as much worse than it is now. MRSA can lay dormiant for years and never play a factor. Less than a year ago if you were MRSA at any hospital active or not you were placed in isolation. At many hospitals across the country mainly the bigger teaching hospitals have done studies and show that you do not have to be isolated. i gotta go ill write more later

I am not a microbiologist, they deal with the really GROSS samples.
Antibiotics are basically biochemistry though.
I do find it really frightening that people have to weigh up the economics of their well-being.
HOWEVER, you did find the money to buy steroids, PCT and doxycillin.......................
LOL nosocomial infections, true, however, I do think everyone needs to be aware that they misuse antibiotics. Most people DEMAND them from their doctors or self prescribe for things like upper respiratory tract illnesses, colds, which are almost ALWAYS viral.
Antibiotics will have absolutely NO effect on colds or chest colds, in fact it is just contributing to the problem of antibiotic resistance.

whats funny about nosicomial? was it the splling? lol MRSA is bad but there are anti b that can supress it. They theory is once MRSA, VRE, VRSA etc.. you always are. MRSA is a staph infection gone really bad so to speak. There are many different strands of staph which respnod to different anti bs. Usually and abscess is a staph infection.
I agree anti bs are over diagnosed. The only way to treat 99% of viral infections is treat the symptoms.

Why are you guys being so harsh? ....My buddy & I are each going on a cycle soon. We were having a hard time finding pins. One day I found one under a park bench. I think we'll just use nuetrogena soap between injections. Maybe dip it in hot water just to be extra safe...Better safe than sorry right?

ack, hopefully you get better bro
i'd just wait it out if its not hot & you don't have a fever... keep a close eye on things though
also, were you injecting something painful like prop or high concentration winny?
maybe it didn't dispurse properly & densly crystalized right in your ass cheek
i remember i had shot GTP prop (150mg/ml) and it was almost impossible to get in & out of my car... i swear it felt like i had glass deep in my ass
you'll be fine brotha

May the force be with you.
good for u dude.. when u get an abcess always go to a doc .. depends how bad it is .. what they will do .. they might give u anti-b or send u 2 the hospital.. a way to make them go away faster along with anti-b is to get them drained( dont advise u to do it yourself)..if the abcess is very bad they might have to cut it off aka operate
