Infection?

[nutz46]

Took some Test and Winny in the Quad last week. The muscle was swollen for a couple of days but went down just not all the way. There is no bruising and the swelling isn't too bad. But I CAN still feel a little "tightness" especially after working out or walking around. Almost feels heavy around the knee. My friends say it is a deep muscle bruise and to give it time. I took some Amoxicillin in case of infection, but not sure if that is the right antibiotic. Any ideas?

Probably not an infection. There are other symptoms to look for; redness and swelling, hot to the touch.

It's almost never a good idea to take antibiotics if you don't know the type of bacteria you are combating. Certain antibiotics are more effective at killing certain types of bacteria. If you take the wrong one, you may end up just creating a more resistant strain of the bacteria which is now more dangerous and harder to treat.

Muscle tightness and latent pain is very common with steroid use. Just one of the things we choose to put up with. You are poking holes in your muscle tissue! Don't you think that should have that effect?

If you begin showing other symptoms consistent with an infection, go to a doctor and get treated as soon as possible. Doctor/patient relationship prevents your doctor from reporting you to the police for using illegal steroids.

I am not necesserarily tight at the exact inject site. Like right now my hamstring is tight. Do you think it is just a reaction from "limping" and not really being able to use the quad for like 3 or 4 days. I just don't get it, I'll go all day thinking that everything is getting better. Then I get in bed and my knee and hamstring kind of "tighten/cramp" up. I get up and feel for swelling and nothing, but I can feel that "tight /swollen" tingle feeling.... Thats when anxiety kicks in and I am ready to saw my own leg off!!!! Does this sound familiar to anybody?
