Delt injection gone bad..lol

Three days ago I posted about my amazing experience injecting 1ml of test cyp into my delt with a .5in 29g. I was pretty happy about it at first. Turns out it wasn't so epic.

When I got home from the gym today I noticed a fairly large red patch underneath my delt.

My delt (or the area right underneath my delt) is hurting pretty good today and definitely interfered with my workout. Hard to fully rotate my arm. Extremely sore to touch.

The area is noticeably red and slightly raised. I don't see the definition between my bicep and delt as much because of it. It's not very hot to the touch which is a plus...so far. I haven't had a fever or anything the past couple days.

The pain seems to be getting worse as time goes on though. I've been attributing it to PIP until today.

I KNOW I didn't inject this far below the delt. I tried taking a pic but it is too hard to see the color difference. But the red patch is covering the entire area between my tricep and delt.

I am guessing I didn't get deep enough and it leaked down or I injected between the muscle somehow? I dunno.. but I got my 1in needles finally so I'm hoping this doesn't happen again.

Is the best course of action to continue massaging and keeping a warm rag on it? At what point do I call the doc? Is it worth taking ibuprofen (haven't started my orals yet so no worries there)?

Never actually missed an injection before or dealt with this so would appreciate any help.

Thanks bros
 
that is a very very small needle mate lol
i have noticed at times where i have stuffed up and gotten sterile abcess, it is not always where you inject it, the oil sort of moves i guess
 
I use 1" 25 gauge pins in delts and never have a problem. Like you said you probably didn't go deep enough. It should disperse in time
 
Why are you using a insulin pin for gear??? I use 23 gauge 1" needle in all areas with no issues...you need to get the gear deeper into the muscle bro...those pins are good for sub q injections, not gear.

Yeah I figured I didn't get er in there deep enough. May have hit it too low as well. Learnin...

These pins have been perfect in the quads so I figured I could hit the delts with no problem.

After posting this last night, I came to the conclusion that the oil was just sitting there.

So I got underneath the oil and pushed it up into my delt as hard as I could - like I was squeezing out the last of my toothpaste. Did this for 10-15 minutes. Hurt like a bitch but it may have worked. A lot of the redness is gone and the pain went down dramatically.

Still a small lump that is painful to touch, but it's not the huge area that it was.
 
not only did you not go into the muscle or deep into the muscle with the short pin.. but you also squeezed oil through a 29G needle which is a no no as well.

unless you are extremely experienced (and maybe crazy too) you won't have a good experience doing that. you will end up with abscesses

use atleast a 25G and a 1 inch needle always. for thicker oils i would even suggest 23G, sounds scary but its much easier to inject with it because the oil gets pushed through easier
 
Same thing happened to me just now I'm seeing it and I used 23g 1 inch needle it's red as patchy and is almost on the bicep and lowest part of the delt and is a tad swollen I used proper injection technique I used a fresh needle and alcohol swabbed before ad after
