Major glute swelling.. What would you do?

[marshallmadman]

I did 1cc in each glute on Sunday morning. It's been hurting like a bitch ever since. Today (Wednesday), I started getting major swelling in the top half of each side. I am also running a fever. What would you guys do?

probably have an infection, stop using and see your doctor

 

[Twinpeaks]

Infection or allergic reaction? You did cleanse the area before injecting I hope
You should stop what you're doing and head to the doctors

 

[Dial_tone]

I've never had such reactions but I would ditch any gear that caused such a thing.

the fever is bad..get to the doctor...

Are you using QV? It's known to do that, especially test enanthate.

 

[marshallmadman]

It is Test Enanthate, but it's not QV. It's a higher dose U.G. lab version. Could this just be an allergic reaction? I used fresh pins on both sides. Neither one event touched the bottle. I swabbed both the bottle top, and injection site with alcohol before going to town.
Could I have such a reaction to high benzyl alcohol content?

High BA content is one reason. Try to heat up the oil prior to injecting and massage the spot after for 5-10 min. I use an electric massager. To heat up the oil, I use very hot water and let the vial sit in it for 5 min. Helps a lot.

how deep did you go? is it abcessed possibly? Either go to doc or wait another couple days, probably was the gear assuming this was the first time youd used this UG ENTH

 

[marshallmadman]

I had used this same gear for one previous shot in the left thigh. Although there was no swelling, it hurt like a bitch for several days after the injection. It still hurts today. (six days later) Only one cc of gear was used on all said injections. I forgot to mention that I squatted last night. Could this be causing some of the swelling?

swelling is not as concerning as the fever - what is your temp?

My temp was 99.4. I know that's probably not a big deal, but I thought I would mention it. It's kinda funny. When I wake up in the morning, it feels like it's getting better. As the day goes on it hurts more, and more. And today, 4 days post injection, it started swelling. I just don't get it.

take some aspirin to keep the temp down. is the swelling red and warm to the touch??

 

[slat1]

That used to happen to me. I would alternate sides. It sucked. I would have one ass cheak twice the size of the other... just when it would go down I would hit the other side...

That's what keeps confusing me about this. It's neither hot to the touch, and it looks absolutely normal, as far as redness is concerned. This really pisses me off because I waited two weeks for this shit, and I'm right in the middle of a gram/week cycle (trying it for the first time) I've gained 20 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. What do you guys think of cutting this stuff with a little sterile oil??
