Pin problem

[Sip1986]

Pinned my delt Monday with 250 test E and 300 EQ. (2cc) Not sure if I hit a nerve or maybe got an air bubble, but I have a huge knot and feel sick. Any ideas? Has this ever happened to anyone?

Red and hot a day after injection is usually immflamation not infection?
Anyone confirm?

Wrong.

He's experiencing either tissue irritation, an abcess, or possibly an infection.

This was taken from the 101 sticky written by Nate, it's there for people to read, don't know why no one ever does...

An infection will start in the same manner as tissue irritation with local pain and swelling, with heat and redness around the muscle. The major difference is that after 72 hours tissue irritation should start to subside, if the area is indeed infected this pain and swelling will get worse. The swelling will change in nature becoming more systematic and edema will start to form under the skin becoming softer and more spongy (as described with a lymphatic puncture).

So basically the main way you determine what's going on is when the shit happens and when it begins to subside.

This is exactly where i was going with this. But of course no answer to my question. Lol

Sterile abscess or possible infection is what it sounds like bro. I would definitely let a doc take a look at that. I wouldnt take any chances on this. Especially if it is 5 days old.

quads and glutes are a better place for 2cc's.

 

[Sip1986]

Thanks bro! It's even worse today.

I had the same thing. Red and hot no fever very swollen.
Doc looked and called it cellulitus (sp) but didnt really think there was any abcess or infection.
To be safe he gave me some strong meds.
I know the gear is good as i pinned toay with the same liquids and no issue.
Nasty pin or I didnt get it far enough in. Ill try 1.25" needles next time

Sorry to hear and see this bro...damn, my first reaction was 2 cc in the delt is a little too much IMO, no more than 1 cc for me, but yes go have it checked out, sounds like abscess if getting worse.

While you're waiting for the Doc try massaging it and put some heat on it to help break up the oil. Hey! It's worth a shot!
