I did my first injection in my delts on Monday. Yesterday I got a huge bruise with a larger amount of swelling around where I did the injection. I've done many injections before, so I wasn't going into it with a blind eye. Any ideas what happened and how to make the swelling and pain go away?
what did you shoot?
try ice
Tried ice, it didn't help. Any other ideas?Quote:

I mentioned this before in a few threads, but did you sanitize BOTH the top of the vile and your injection spot with an Alchohol Pad?
Went to the doctor. I got cellulitus (sp?). I got some meds for it.Quote:

I had a condition like this a week or so ago. Could be due to an oil buildup as well (to many injections in the same place without rotation).
ahhh........thanks dogs of war you just answered my question....hmm oil build-up who knew thanks :D
i just had that last week it will take 5 days to goaway. just ice it.
i've had a bruise on my right shoulder for about 3 months and it is still there. i can hardly tell if its fading. would icing do anything at this point to help it. i need ur help
