infection teatment

[mphowells]

Hi,

I've done one injection cycle and it went fine. i am currently planning a second but my biggest constant worry is infection. I am extremly careful with alcohol swaabs etc and massage as much as poss (and jakuzi) but should the worst happen, are there readily available remidies that I can get in advance (bascially the same as sorting your PCT out before you start).

Cheers

As long as you follow correct procedure you will be fine mon cheri

If your injection procedure is good it's unlikely you will get an infection. Unless of course the gear is bad to start with.

What they said ^^^

You should be fine if you are being sterile in all stages. If it ever did come down to it you could always just get a script from your doctor for an infection, of course i am Canadian and that is free for us, but better safe than sorry. Always best to see a doctor if you get an infection. If you are not open about steroid use with your doctor then go some were else like a walk in clinic but you should be just fine since you are being clean.

I'm gouing to be using amps for the 1st time (used vails in the past) and a little worried about glass breaking into the gear and being injected. The amps are pre scored but I'm assuming there is still a possibility. Are vails considere dby you guys to be safer?

Cheers

I disagree with most posts in this thread. The possability of an in infection is very real no matter how clean and sterile your method is. That only minimizes the risk of an infection. We can have bacteria that lives on our skin which is common for body builders or basically people who work out in a public gym sharing equipment. Also the gear can be the culprit. Your concerns about possible infections are valid. The best advice is when you think you have an infection go to the doctors immediately. It can kill you if you dont and it gets out of hand that simple.

Thanks, so what do you tell them it is from. Surely there aren't many injuries where something goes in your ass...??

Stay out of the Jacuzzi, big breeding ground for bacteria, at least dont jump in the jacuzzi right after you inject yourself.

Correct!
One other thing to something people never think aboutO NOT leave your gear in or around a bathroom. Bacteria and germs abound in this area more than anywhere in your house.
I leave mine in my back bedroom far away from my bathroom's. Draw your gear up away from any bathroom.

You have to take this stuff seriously!

 

[mphowells]

thanks guys some good info there, will follow as best i can.

Surely you can be as sterile as you like but if you got sh*t gear (although guess you need a good supplier to combat that) or get glass in your amp then you can be as clean as you like but you're still f*cked.

I agree 100%! If your in this game long enough something is going to happen. Hell look at Lee Priest who just had his delt sliced open to drain an abcess. Many things can happen other than sterility issues. For instance, If you have a build up scar tissue or knots and you continue to inject in the same area you can get a sterile abcess. I've had skin infections where my leg looked like i had elephantitis and i've also had sterile abcess. See the doctor immediately and DON'T WAIT or try any of that Greg Valentino bullshit.
