Shot infection....need some help.

Re: Need some help

I did my first injection the other day, testosterone enanthate 250mg EW (first cycle).

The thigh injection went great, no pain and I was VERY sanitary. I've been trained on how to properly inject, so I don't think this is a problem of needle infection.

It's been 4 days not since I've injected and I woke up today with a severe cramp and knot in my thigh, I also feel like I have the flu. There's a noticeable lump and it looks a little red under the skin where the knot is. (The knot is the size of my hand). There is nothing at all around the pin insertion point. It is also VERY warm feeling around the lump....

My friend is doing the same test and he's one week ahead of me. He woke up with the exact same symptoms on day 4 as well. He took some antibiotics he had on hand, and he was back to normal the next day.

Could this be test flu? Bad gear? All of the above? I keep reading conflicting things on my research. Some people say it's no big deal and others are saying go to the emergency room.

Here is a picture of the gear, I think it's IP. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/g...ate-563513.html

My temperature and blood pressure are fine.

same thing has happened to me and i stand by it being dirty gear consideringit was twice in a row with the same bottle. go to the doc you need iv antibiotics. chances are they will call it cellulitis and iv you up bro.

Thanks for everyone's advice.

When I went to bed last night I iced the knot and took a motrin. When I woke up this morning I felt perfectly normal and the knot is gone.

Some suggested it's the high BA content in the IP gear. If it flares back up then I'll definitely go see the doctor.

i did notice you mentioning that you did not have a fever. usually when you have a bad inject it means- lump, red and hot to the touch with a fever. go to the doc when this happens and tell him that you bumped into park bench with a nail sticking out of it unless you have a cool doc like i do. glad you are fine.

same thing here, iv then oral anti's for a week. i never did run a fever though. for what i went through and you find out it is the gear...chunk it. i have seen a guy do that though and it wasnt the infection i dont think. he lumped and got hot like that quiet often unless he messaged it really goo. it was like the gear didnt want to disperse.

yeah theres a difference between an infection and gear not discipating. but i dont take chances, especially when you could lose your bi, tri, quad or wherever you injected

You dont always get a fever with an abscess. You cannot go by its not an abscess because i dont have a fever.

it could be in the early stages of infection.

true, but i did say "usually". the way a body reacts can be a complex thing....i had huge lump on my ass (size of a baseball) from a cc shot of deca and it was red and hot to the touch but no fever...it just went away in 4 days.

I just had the same issue. I went to the er after the second day that I couldn't walk and they said if I would have waited any longer I wouldn't have a leg right now. Don't mess with that shit beleive me. They gave me IV meds and some take home antibiotics and it was gone in less than a week.

so simple if action is taken....so costly if you don't. kind of a no-brainer once it hits a certain point.
