Painful Pin, Rash, Lump

[Power36]

Dang, I remember reading threads about this a long time ago, and have been pinning for two years with never an issue...thats Test, GH, HCG, and a few blasts, and pinning vitamins...

Yesterday was the kick start of my NY blast:
600mg Test Enan
50mg Tbol daily
100mg Deca week

My source is not available so didnt get the mast...

My Test E and Deca are legit scripts from an HRT clinic I used to use until I switched doctors. Its from a compounding pharmacy in FL that was busted last year, not sure if I can name it or not so I wont...

Anyhow, pin went in fine, felt normal, no issues....about 6 hours after the pin started feeling something, woke up with what felt like a golf ball injected in my glute, and kept waking me up it hurt so bad...then this morning I see there is a red rash....again I think ive read about this and how some companies use different oils and/or different alcohol content so people can react differently to the stuff...but I skipped my morning power cleans and squats because I literally have a limp and cant sit down or lay down on it comfortably....I iced it up this morning...

Tonight after work Im gonna try to hit gym, no use in a blast if Im not tearing up the weights and conditioning....

So what are some opinions? Sucks I spent tons of cash on this a few years ago, but if every pin is this bad it aint worth it....the Test E was still sealed with plastic top, and was in a prescription bottle...the Deca was opened but was in a prescription bottle too and I wiped the heck out of it with alcohol to make sure hopefully if there were germs on the plug they were killed. A few months ago there was a thread on using old gear and everyone said it should be good to go....so Im thinking it must be something with this different brand...my chain store pharmacy Test Cyp I NEVER feel the shot, going in or after....Ive used UGL Mast and never had issues, and Ive used HG primo and never an issue like this...

Thanks! part of me is just venting...as Ill search more threads this week or weekend when I have time..just gotta decide if come Wed time to pin again I use this stuff or go back to my normal script and forgoe the blast and just use up the tbol orals with say 400mg Test Cyp a week...but sucks if the 3 bottles of Test E 300mg/ml go to waste because it doesnt react well with my body!

I get this every once in awhile. I rotate injection spots and if i don't i usually get the exact same thing. takes about 5 days to go away. gets red, bumpy and hot to the touch. if it doesn't go away go see a doc . I had to take an antibiotic once and it went away 3 days after. that's when my dumb ass injected in the exact same spot as i did the day before bc i'd forgotten where i'd injected last.

same thing happened to me a few days ago. It could be the oil from the juice just sitting there.. Massage the ball under a hot shower. the redness is fading away and the lump is subsiding ..

Thanks guys...Ill see how this thing feels in next few days, and pin the other glute wed and cross my fingers...

I have some anti biotics I could start taking if that might help?

try warming up the oil before pinning

Red, hot and swollen = infection. 6 hrs is too fast for this to be infected, so most likely just a local reaction at this time. however, if in the next couple of days it increases in size, go to doc for abx and possible need for drainage if an abscess forms.

Thanks Nautica, thats good info...I appreciate it...

Yea it happened within a few hours...its not red anymore and is hurting much less, it just feels like a hard ass lump right now where I injected...

tomorrow is another injection scheduled, kinda nervous...dont want two sore ass cheeks this week! No Deca tomorrow, just the Test E, so Ill be able to eliminate the Deca as the culprit if it doesnt act up....if I didnt pay so much for this gear id just toss it and stick to my current brand test from a national name brand pharmacy....not a fan of this compounding pharmacy stuff at the moment

first shot right cheek totally fine now, cant feel a thing....so thats Sundays shot...yesterdays shot in left cheek, doesnt hurt as bad, but still shot before bed, woke up this morning with what feels like a hard ass lump or tightness, iced it for half hour...hopefully subsides quicker than Sundays shot...strange...no more rash or redness though...

Not a fan of this test!

I've noticed a few things with my gear the last few months. I used a tri-blend and had similar to the same reaction u did. I did 2 things and it completely went away... Warmed the oils up. Microwave some water for a minute and then let the bottles sit in the hot water for 10 minutes, this will help the esters bind faster and reduces inflammation and irritation tremendously. I also changed to only pinning my quads and mostly delts. Don't know why but delts heal a whole lot faster than glutes or quads. I haven't had a problem since
