Checked as best I could to see this question was not a dupe, but looking for some much appreciated advice.
Started first cycle in over 20 years this past weekend. Planning to do 1 shot per week of an UGL test blend with 250 mg. enanthate and 250 mg. cyp., along with a once per week of 300 mg. deca from same lab. Both use 2% BA in grapeseed oil.
Went deep into each glute with a cc of each on Sunday, using good sterile technique. Three possible issues: I did not wipe the top of the vial after popping the caps, I used same needle to draw as to inject (one for each compound) and I did not aspirate either time. Left side site (deca) no issue during or since. Right side (test) went very deep and no issue during, but starting that evening I felt some tightening. Over the two days that followed swelling developed, along with pain. No reddening, no heat. My friend who uses the same materials says it happens from time to time, and not to sweat it, use ibuprofen and wait it out for a few days. It is now three days, and I believe the pain has lessened slightly today, but I am watching closely before going to my doctor for another opinion and some antibiotics.
I am concerned about a deep infection and possible abscess, as I may have delivered any possible bacteria from the cap pretty deeply. However, could it be the material itself that casues irritation, especially in a first time user? Or in using the needle I used to draw, could I have dulled it enough to have caused some tissue damage, and the inflammation is nothing to worry about?
I am a 45 year old male, BF maybe 15%, in decent shape, 5'10" and about 210, have been strength training for over 20 years.
Thanks in advance for the feedback, it is appreciated.
