Test E from BD and painful swelling

[JonM]

Started first cycle using Test E from BD. I read all the posts on the complaints of pain with this product so I ordered the sterile grapeseed oil. Injected a total of 1.5cc, 0.8 of which was Test E and the ramainder being the grapeseed oil. Injection was inner thigh, about 5 inches above knee. Injection was flawless and painfree - I am in the medical field and give injections everyday. Needle was 25g 1". Massaged injection site for 5 minutes. Pain started this morning, and now the left side of my thigh, extending from the injection site to my knee is swollen like a balloon. Hot to the touch. For anyone in the medical field, it looks like I had an IV infiltrate into my knee. I know this is a reaction to the meds, not an infection reaction - way too soon for that. I think I am experiencing what most have experienced with this product. I have a couple of questions for those that are willing to help.
1) Should I inject more grapeseed oil?
2) For those that had this type of reaction, did the reactions such as pain and swelling get better with each shot? Or did this response occur throughout the cycle?
3) Should I bake the gear with the hope that its purely the BA causing the reaction? Is 225F for 30 minutes the recommended bake settings? Is it a good idea to bake the gear?
4) The only thing I did not do that was recommended was warm the gear. Will do that for sure next time.

Thanks guys.

im sorry to hear that bro, but the only thing i can offer is a pain remedy. advil gel caps seriously help me alot when i get the old test flu or inflammation from an injection. also thigh injections dont always work for people, most do outer thighs. have you ever shot thighs before? and also, do you have test flu or is the site just inflamed ?

im in the same boat you are because i just bought 20ml's of bd test e, im afraid, very afraid lol. i was planning on the grape seed to bail me out but i geuss not.

bro i had a b-12 injection cause an infection the next day, so don't rule it out. also, 250 deg for 30 min and dont forget to aspirate the jug w/ a needle. i bake mine in pyrex w/water in bottom(not 2 much) as a secondary precaution. hope this helps. also did you bake the gs oil? as it is not a clean oil right out the bottle.

Thanks for the responses guys. Let me try to answer some of these questions.

This is my first time injecting gear. Have never injected thighs before. Knowing what I do, I really dont think "location" is the problem. I know it was IM. I know it was not injected IV. I know I used good sterile technique.

I feel great, other than my leg. No signs/symptoms of flu or such.

I did not bake the grapeseed oil. I bought it from researchlabsupply. According to them, the oil is sterile. I dont know why I would need to bake it. For those that have used this oil, are you baking it???

Bake it in the oven for 30 minutes, 220 degress, put an 18 guage needle in the vial so it does not explode.

Baked the Test E from BD at 220 degrees for 20 minutes. Injected same as before. Day later have zero swelling or redness. I think the baking was the answer. Thanks a TON solidspine!!!
