Taking first cycle and having probs.....

[The-UPS-Man]

Hey guys, I'm having what I think are some pretty serious problems w/ Deca 250. This is the first cycle of anything I've ever done so all this is new to me. It started last week w/ my first dose, I had my buddy inject it in my left delt(three fingers down from the top, 22g) and everything went fine w/ that until right before my workout that evening. My arm swelled up and I could hardly use the damn thing, and it was worse the next day. It finally went away by the time i woke up for work Monday morning. I took my second dose yesterday in my right thigh, approx three fingers up from the head on the outter quad. I was ok again up until my workout that evening(which happened to be legs). The pain and swelling just got worse, and now this morning I can't even put any weight on my leg. I'm not tensing up before the injection or anything....anyone think the gear is bogus? Any help would be awesome, thanks.

whoaa bro deca alone for 1s cycle ? terrible choice for various reasons .. as far as the swelling sounds like u having an alergic reaction .. u sure the stuff is real ?

Is this your first inject of AA.S ever?

My first delt shot ever turned pink, swelled up and had tendrils running from it. It took 8 days to clear up.

Monitor your body temperature. If you're getting feverish after a few days visit a doc.

Yes, this is my first ever, my brother led me onto it as he just finished up a cycle. My delt did turn pink and was warm to the touch along w/ the swelling. I didn't get sick after it happened, no probs unrinating either so I know the kidneys are alright

 

[hurricane]

dude i would stop your cycle asap .. a deca alone is a terrible choice for a cycle .. even worse for 1st cylce ..do some more research on here , when u ready to start again do a test only cycle ..on the swelling like swole said seek a doctor asap if u dont feel better asap

don't get too worked up yet, give it 7-8 days for your body to start soaking it up...mine was warm to the touch as well

and hurricane is right, dec.a alone for a first cycle is terrible; honestly i'd probably stop taking it ASAP and prepare for something better suited for you

what are your stats and goals?

keep the dec.a at 250mg per week and add some long ester test (cy.p or enanthate @ 400-600mg weekly)

you should do this for 10-12 weeks

whoaa bro Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - -Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - -Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - -Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - alone for 1s cycle ? terrible choice for various reasons .. as far as the swelling sounds like u having an alergic reaction .. u sure the stuff is real ?

I sure as hell hope it's real, otherwise somebody is going to have a really bad day. I wasn't ever able to find anything online about not taking it just starting out, but I did do a lot of reading and talking w/ buds that have done this previously. I've never been alergic to anything before in my life as far as meds go....or anything for that matter. Looks like I should have done more research thou....Thanks for your help guys.

 

[GarrisX]

yeah, deca shouldnt ever be used without test.

and 2nd of all...

you clearly havent done any research whatsoever b4 starting and you sound like youre 15.

stop using aas, get some creatine and read and learn before you fuck up again.

 

[njmuscleguy]

couple things.... ice the swelling... take an anti-inflammatory... as the other guys said, if the swelling doesn't go down or gets worse, see a doc and get on antibiotics

also, 22G for your delt?? I'm guessing it was a 1" or 1.5" pin? how deep did you go? Next time, use at least at 23 or better yet a 25G... who cares if it's slow going in.... I use 5/8" 25G for my delts and arms.... smooth as butter... save the 22G for the glutes!

Your penis will disappear if you don't take some testosterone with that deca.

 

[702daswoll1]

That reminds me I got to hit the pharmacy today.... Shit.

 

[perryscoon]

Bro, if your swelling up every time you inject something is WRONG. That should not be happening. Don't let someone tell you its normal. The ONLY thing that should be happening is a little soreness at the inject site for a day or so. Do you trust the guy you got this deca from?

And like everyone else here said, you don't take deca without testosterone bro, ever.

 

[The-UPS-Man]

I should of come to ya'll before I ever started, my buddy led me onto this site and figured I'd give it a shot to get some questions answered. I knew right away that it wasn't normal for swelling to occur. I'll see what happens by tomorrow morning, but either way I'm not sticking myself w/ this again. I know I'm not the first person that's screwed up like this, I'm just glad it wasn't worse.

As for sounding like I'm 15, shit I wish I was again. I recently get out of the Corps and am looking for ways to get bigger now. I wasn't going to risk taking anything while I was in, but I'm free to now as the company I'm w/ now doesn't test. Thanks for all your help once again.

Any recommendations on what I should start out w/? or any sites or posts I can read up on?

 

[thebadguy54]

How old are you?

 

[centy]

You've come to the right place bro. There's a ton of great ppl with good advice around here. You're sure to get sorted out.

read up here bro, either jump on some test asap and run it at 500 if your running decca at 250. I am running a decca test cycle and love it but I have tons of test to keep the big man working while the decca clears, decca alone will harshly shut down your manhood bro. Decca dick acording to some bros is a bitch to get over.

 

[mus1cjunk1e]

Definitely listen to these guys, and don't take it personally or anything. LOTS of knowledgeable people here.

If you only did one shot it won't hurt you to just stop now and rethink what you are gonna do. Don't take any more shots, do some more research, ask TONS of questions on here, and then start.

Your penis will disappear if you don't take some testosterone with that Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - -Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - .

I know everyone, literally everyone, will disagree with me on this, but I've run a cycle of just Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - and I loved it. Good clean gains (17 lbs in 10 weeks) no sides. Dick stayed hard as a rock the whole time.


***Edit note: Not saying I RECOMMEND this. I'm just saying its one of those "never ever under any circumstances" that I have had a different experience with. Basically, I want someone to say RYNO900, you are so fucking cool!

 

[sincere81oo0]

deca alone once again is a bad idea...... i get it all the time and i deal with it, i have days i cant even bend my leg to put shoes on..... if you cant take the heat get out the kitchen brother. youll live though, just suck it up.

 

[fordstime]

Well i will tell you how i feel, took my 1st shot of deca and test yesterday 350mg in one shot. I always pin the glute(only 3rd cycle), i feel nothing, nada i can't even feel where i injected.

I guess that's the difference, between legit legal gear and whatever you are injecting yourself with. The gear might be legit, but it doesn't seem sterile, goodluck when they aputate your legs.

 

[OMEGA]

whoaa bro Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - alone for 1s cycle ? ?

worst 1st cycle ever actually

at the local Gold that is pretty much what they say is your best first cycle

scary lol

 

[monkey arms]

Didn't read the entire list of rambling rhetoric, but depends on your source. Deca should be painless, unless its some UG Garbage that has its processing wrong. I would STOP! Sounds like you are getting small infections each time you shoot it, or something else is off! Just because it hasn't become encapsulated doesn't mean it wont.

ALSO!

What has happened here? I've been away for a while, but honestly Deca 1st cycle is probably one of the safest, cycles one can do.

I'm not sure who started this rumor or when, but please before just reciting something you maybe heard someone else say or post somewhere else is unfair and dangerous to the newbies.

lmaooooooooo

Bro, everyone has their personal opinions about various compounds and cycles ... that aside, there is defnitely merit to people suggesting AGAINST using de-ca only... not just for the first cycle, but for any cycle...and the caution is typically not against "safety" of using de-ca only, but against the potential side effects.

I speak from experience when I say this, and I know alot of others do too... de-ca sides aren't "fun". De-ca can screw with your libido something awful even *with* testosterone...so I can only imagine without?? Plus, recovery from de-ca can be a bitch. And yes, I've ran a host of compounds to know that recovery from any cycle with de-ca has always been the most difficult for me.

So while there may be no "danger" in running a de-ca only cycle for a first cycle, IMHO, there are better alternatives that are just as effective, and with potentially less aggrevation over side effects.

 

[hurricane]

good point bro .. deca alone is 1 of the worst choices for a cycle IMO! lol better?>

 

[Chocolate_Thunder]

Where is needto for this? He would have something "informative" to say.

Personally, I wouldn't run a decca cycle alone.

Your penis will be fine.
Your nutz will disappear if you take test.
Everyone reacts differently to every drug there is.

As i said before.....sounds like you've got bad gear. Stop taking it...decca should not be painful its a long easily dissolved ester and I've never had any pain from it.
