It had to happen eventually

[CSB]

so i believe i have picked up an infection in my chest , i did a pec shot thursday of 1ml sust , by sat it was swollen and sensitive , and progressively has just gotten worse, my whole left arm is aching and skin sensitive, my chest is swollen like a beachball and red , sweating quite bad etc, started a broad spectrum anti biotic last night hoping this helps fight it, i cant train at all anything upper body, only managed calves so far, cant get my arm back for enough to do squats etc.

i believed i took the right precautions, showered before pinning, never re use needle, use different ones to pull gear and new one to pin etc , only change was soap, from a anti bacterial based soap to a moisturizing soap lol (i ran out )

any other tips in helping it heal quicker ?

Go to the doctor before you get in shit deep if symptoms persist, and it is as bad as it sounds. Is it itchy? did you alcohol swab before pinning? It may be even shitty bunk gear that you got,

hi thanks,

i did alcohol swab , i have been using the gear awhile and its my 4th shot from this bottle.

i am monitoring it closely , if it doesnt start dissapating or if it gets any worse by this evening i am off to the doc

not itchy yet , just slightly red , left arm has a constant ache and the back of my left hand skin is sensitive and then my left pec is very swollen and very sensitive , its very similar pain wise to a short ester thats caused a lump, just far worse

ill give you a tip to heal quicker. go the doctors tell them what happened they will provide you with an anti-biotic that specifically attacks bacterial infection, and why would u inject your pec? there are alot of nerves and shiz there man stick with the glute or even delts.

started on anti biotics last night thankfully , use pecs often, with almost ed injections delts and quads run out of space pretty quick , cant reach glutes

what really gets me after hitting a stall for the last while i all of a sudden jumped from 240 lbs to 250lbs , i was so amped for a great week at gym looking froward to setting personal bests and then this aaarrgghhhh

if you can wipe your ass u can get the glutes just be careful next time remember to swab your vial before your sterile drawing needle enters so you dont contaminate your gear, and then use a separate swab to your injection area. Also let the alcohol swab settle because if you apply the swab and inject the area to fast there is a chance that the bacteria will not be killed.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

i can barely wipe my ass bro... or tie my shoes. i am too wide shouldered.. i love pinning the pecs, you should try it sometime.. its really the easiest injection of all.

 

[Stylon]

Haha love it, I'm scared I'll hit a nerve there and be out of action for a while, like this one time I pinned my quad......let's just say I never pinned my quads ever again lol

hahahahah i have a similar problem lol

i agree pecs are one of my favorite spots usually recover quickly and other than now have never really had any issues previously , only thing i have found is right pec right delt both notorious for giving me tren cough

 

[CSB]

And just as I thought it was better I have aggravated it somehow ,swelling was down and trained arms on Friday including close grip bench,this morning the left pec is swollen up again and under the pec where it meets the delt armpit it gone all bruised black and blue ,not much pain and it's not hot like before thankfully ?

 

[mustang_00]

never hit a nerve... had a compound crash in my cheek once. not fun!!

 

[DJ_UFO]

Doesnt sound like infection bro...it seems to be some sort of damage from the needle. Still watch it very close.

 

[CSB]

I agree I am leaning away from infection ,not quite sure but if I didn't know better I would have sworn I damaged my pec training ,just going to give it more time and rest it ,I am gonna have really big calves lol

 

[CSB]

Well come from doctor looks like stage 3 pec tear ,possible surgery ,6 months out ,never saw that coming ,so ending blast phase and going onto cruise sigh

 

[StevenM23]
