injection site swelling

[bhustle02]

I'm going into my third week of Eq (Qv bold 200) I frontloaded at 800mg pw the first 2 weeks. Well my question is I've been shooting in my glutes 2 cc's per every mon/thur and since saturday I've had some pretty bad swelling,as a matter of fact it almost feels like hard muscle tissue on both sides but it's pretty sore. When i lay down on my sides it almost feels like I'm laying on my wallet or a cell phone or something, and it's warm to the touch.

I'm thinking maybe I should be using a 23 1.5 instead of a 23 1. as of now it hurts way too much to do another shot in that region, was thinking since I'm done frontloading now maybe i can do 1.25 cc's in each delt with a 23 5/8 needle or should i go with the 23 1 for the delts.

Also I'm going to see my doc tomorrow about my glutes. She's cool and the type that doesn't really pass judgement. If there infected I'm thinking she's either gonna drain them or put me on anti-biotics. Have any of you continued use while on anti-biotics? any feedback of similar situations will be greatly appreciated

Definitely go with 1.5 in the ass (gauge doesn't matter, probably 23 would be good to push the Eq). Try some quad shots with the 1in pins you have left over.

I have had this happen out of nowhere when the other shots on the cycle went fine. Get it checked out just in case, but it could just be a local reaction. Try to rotate to the quads for now until it is resolved, and see how that goes.

Alright I talked to my doctor and she was just plain ignorant, said some s#it about how maybe this was god's way of telling me not to take steroids. She didn't give me any helpful info at all, what a waste.

She did however put me on antibiotics (factive) just in case it was an infection, and said that it could possibly be cellulitis? Do any of you have any experience taking gear while on antibiotics? And what is cellulitis?

Sounds like infection! Especially since it feels warm to the touch. Infections come on from a lot of things. Inserting needle at different angle, non-sterile environment, too frequent of injections in one spot,...... the list goes on. You need to get it checked out soon. Do you feel like you have a high temperature or is your heart racing even when at rest?

I'm a pre-med student and it sounds like your doctor is ignorant! I would get a second opinion soon!!! I have seen many of these abcesses and if that is what it is, which it probably is, you have to get it drained and cleaned out in order to kill off the infection completely, otherwise it can cause other serious problems. Don't mean to scare you but it is important that you take care of it soon! Antibiotics are good but they won't kill off abcesses completely they have to be drained!

 

[bhustle02]

well she said to take the antibiotics for ten days and if it doesn't shrink down and feel normal then she gave me the name of a surgeon that would drain it. But my question is do any of you have exp taking gear while healing from infection or while on antibiotics?

Cellulitis..damn your doctor is 1 stupid bitch. I know i was on a coarse into medicine once...these people are braindead...there are alot of geniouses..and a lot of doctors tha tliteraly know less than me and many brothers on this board LITERALY!

Is the bump that is hard on the inside or on the outside.....it is not protruding out is it....if i think i am hearing you right it is simply a hard bump that you can feel inside the ass cheek....PROBIBALY JUST SCAR TISUE YOU INJECTED IN....hapened to me a million times in the Quads....I never do ass....

Relax...doctors are idiots....go see a doctor who knows wtf they are talking about. Cellulitis..OMFG. I give up with the medical community. It took me over 3 yrs to find a doc.
