I exclusively shoot the thigh and I can tell you that a 1 inch needle is probably not long enough. My guess is that some of the compound got in the subcutaneous area of the leg and thus the edema.
Use a 1.5 inch needle in the quad. It is a big muscle and the deeper you get the fluid the better.
If the site gets worse I would see a doctor, but my guess is you will be fine.

Wow, thigh injections hurt? That is news to me. Of course, I have 30 inch thighs so I guess I have some room to stick a needle.
The key is to make sure you are on the outer lateral head of the quad. Put the palm of your hand on the side of your thigh with the middle finger on the point where the knee bone begins. About 2 inches above the palm of your hand is where you shoot. How that can hurt, I have no clue.
IMO the glutes are by far the worst place to shoot. Too small of a safe area to shoot and it always aggravates my lower back the longer the cycle goes.
UPDATE
Just to let you all know I went to the ER today to have my leg checked out. The DR said that it was good that I came in. He said that the lump was a start to an absess. He did have to cut the lump about an in long to let it drain. He said that it will only take about 1 to 2 weeks to heal. I asked him if it was from injecting incorrectly and he said NO. He said that this just happens to some people. He was a very helpful DR, but one who I do not believe knows much about AS. I asked him if shooting in the ass is better and he told me to stick with amino acids. So far my other 3 injections have went fine in the glutius maximus.
Just thought I would share my experinece..
Peace.

If you have been successful in the glute, stick with it. No need to fix anything if it is not broke.
