Shot infection....need some help.

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.

you're going to get conflicting opinions here too. Sounds like dirty gear because of the same symptoms of your friend. if he took antibiotics one day they didnt solve the problem, not enough time to get in his system. rule of thumb usually is to go to the Doc if you feel heat. since it is the first day of that I would try ome hard messaging or compression. I use an idea I got from here, jnevin I think. Lie on your side on the floor with the lump side down and put a ball or oval shaped hard object between the site and floor. I use an oval shaped container about 1 1/2 thick. You can put a lot of pressure against the site and move against it to try and message it out some. If that doesnt work and it last more than two days, go to the Doc pronto. Most will say go now I'm sure. Which is not a bad idea either.

Thanks for the reply.

Could it be warm because my body recognizes is as a foreign substance and it's trying to kill it?

Here's the link to the pictures, I don't think the other one is working. http://i8.tinypic.com/5y8k1ns.jpg

It's the size of your hand?

I'd get it looked at.

Just seems like it's underneath the skin.

I do have an antibiotic called Cefuroxime Axetil I might try.

I just read a lab report on IP's gear. Great results! Next to no coliform bacteria, just a lot of benzyl alcohol . {someone suggested IP is probably to blame}.

If it is red and the size of your hand go and get it checked out. Ceftin is good for most staph infections. Do you have a full dose? by dose I mean how ever many days the MD says you need to take it?

Dont self medicate unless you know what dose to give and for how long. Go and seea DOC. I m not flaming you but you would be a dumb ass, if it is the size you say it is and feels the way you say it does, and not go and seek help

Cephelaxin is good, always on hand..
