    Infection....Fuk

    Im almost positive I got an infection in my delt. Yesterday I shot 75mg of test prop in my left delt... Today i just noticed about a 3"x2" hot red spot... no swelling or puss so far... Should I wait it out till maybe tomorrow or go to hospitol right away? I cleaned the site well and everything... not really sure where it came from...

    I would say you'll be fine till tommorow but some infections get in the blood stream and wreak havoc... not to mention I'm no doctor... Good Luck

    it could possibly be a reaction to the prop...have you shot it there before? the same thing happened to me while shooting prop and it turned out to be a reaction not an infection. i'd say give it another day or two, just keep an eye on it...

    I agree with NTBY it might be a reaction.

    wait it out and if it gets worse then go.

    My first injection in my quad got swollen, skin got tight and red and everything. Went away in a week though. I would say wait a week, take some ibuprofen to get the swelling down. Icy hot or a heating pad will make it feel better.

    Inject slower next time and try running the syringe under warm water to heat it first.

    the way you explained it sounds like the same thing that happened to me bro. it was a red patch, not raised but spread with time before it went away...

    alot of times when u break the cherry on a new injection site that will happen especially with prop. if it starts to drain pus or u start gettin a fever go to a doc if not give it a few days and see how it feels.

    edmen2 is right sometimes it is a localized reaction from a new injection site - if you start to run a fever though Bro - get to the doc and get it looked at cellulitis is nothing to mess around with

    I had something siomething like that happen when i injected my thigh. A hugh patch on my leg was red like a sunburn and my muscle around the injection site felt like a rubberband stretched too tight. It should go away after a few days, but always be weary of infection.

    you said it doesn't hurt? well an infection hurts like hell so you will be fine. if it is then that spot would be hurting and gets bigger each day.
