QV Deca -- I think I've gotten an abscess

[theg0dfather]

I also agree on that.

I always use a new needle even when drawing. If the needle you reuse gets bacteria on it, then you are just putting that bacteria in the juice then injecting it.

Go fresh everytime.

Absolutely go fresh everytime. The suggestion to use a "drawing needle" each time that has been lying around for 10 weeks or more that you are sticking into your sterile gear is not good advice.

qv is steril. he has to be doing the shots wrong if your getting an abcess from 1 cc, use a longer needle and go in on a perfect 90 degree angle, give it a week to go away, take 2-3 hot showers and masseage it under hot water, use a hot compress and also put icy-hot if skin is not broken, it will go away

I'm going to see my family doctor today about this rather large red, puffy, itchy spot on the top of my buttocks. I have a feeling he's going to say it's becoming an abscess and probably just give me some anti-biotics. (By the way, my family doctor is also the one who is giving me the shots, at his home; because he offered to make sure their done correctly)

The only thing I have shot in that area is QV Deca 300, and I've had two shots in the past two weeks.

Of course I'm going to ask him the same question, but do you think I should continue using the QV Deca, but maybe in a different location? I'd hate to have both sides of my arse puffy, but I'd also like to continue my cycle.

I've read posts about people sterilizing their gear in/on the oven and in the microwave, do you think this may be necessary to help make sure the QV Deca is sterile?

I'd like to hear some opinions from the more experienced...

Thanks

I wouldn't sweat it. I have had this happen with Qv Enathate, sust, Prop. I have this problem with my delts. Switch your site for awhile, Hit your delts or quads. Just keep an eye on it if it gets worst.

I only use the same needle to draw about 3 times. I also wipe it down throughly with alcohol each time before and after. I forgot to add that. Using a new pin each time won't hurt, but using this method is safe as well.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sometimes the injection area
gets red and swells a bit several days after, If you don't have a Fever your
gonna do ok.

I agree. Here's the rules of injecting:

1. Use a drawing pin to draw out the AAS and then change the needle by putting a fresh NEW STERILE needle to inject with. NEVER SHOOT YOURSELF WITH THE SAME PIN THAT YOU USE TO DRAW WITH.

2. Put the drawing needle back where you keep your gear. This keeps you from mixing it up with the needle that you used to inject with.

3. Always wipe off the top of the bottle BEFORE AND AFTER drawing with Alcohol to ensure sterility.

4. Use alcohol to disinfect the area where you will be shooting BEFORE AND AFTER the injection is done.

5. Once the injection is done take the "dirty" needle and discard it in a safe place.

It always amazes me how some people handle their injections and gear. Sterility is very important.

I use the same pin to inject myself with as I do to draw the oil out of the bottle and I've never had a problem. If the oil or inside of the bottle isn't sterile than you should not be putting it inside your body in the first place. The only time I use a draw needle is when I draw from an amp and thats because I usually dull the tip trying to get every last bit of oil from the bottom of the glass. I always use a fresh needle each and every time.

I've never had an issues with any QV products being dirty.

I don't change the needle b/c of sterility. I change it b/c I don't want to dull the pin and then have gouge myself trying to get the needle through my skin.
