    Question injection site concern

    This is my second cycle after deca , test & tren acet stack (3x2cc/wk)
    I'm about halfway through it now & havn't had any problems except the normal soreness. Wed I injected 2cc in my left delt (center), rubbed it out as usual & its really sore. It's slightly reddish around the injection area, feels about as warm as my other arm (maybe a tad warmer, can't really tell a diff), and the muscle group is tight (top to bottom, side to side). I thought it might be infected after reading all these threads, but I havnt had a fever or any severe pain being two days after now. I have full range of motion and have been able to stretch it but its just sore as hell - not painful though. When I work out I can't really seem to notice it - roughly 80% of the pain is gone.
    Any recommendations? Heating pad, wait it out for a week, doc? Thanks in advance.

    Due to this info I would say its celulitis. Its a skin infection due to the injection. Has happened a couple of times to me and I usually take an antibiotic and it goes right away. Once I left it alone and it went away on its own. Much better off using the Anti though, quicker and safer.

    Does this mean you injected tren twice a week. If so you need to do a little more research on the use of tren A. Twice a week would be fine for Tren E. Now on to you question. I've been shooting the delts lately myself. Same thing happens ever so often, but the pain only last about an hour and a half for me. I don't think you have to much to worry about. might have got close to a nerve or just moved the needle around when injecting which can cause pain

    What you are suffering from sounds quite normal to me.It's a simple inflamation of the muscle.I've had this happen more times than I care to admit.
    Just keep an eye on it.

    tough old man: Sorry for not being clear - deca was my first cycle months ago, I am now on a test & tren acetate stack 2ccx3times/week. I really hope I just got close to a nerve, the needle may have moved some but not much. Thanks for the advice.
    jayhova16 - I'd rather play it safe than sorry, I know you're not a doc but what antibiotic did you use? Amoxicillin? How much a week and for how long? Thanks.
    I may just be over-reacting but all threads I've read are making me very cautious.
    Any other help would be appreciated

    You are over reacting bro.That's ok,I can tell you are very new to this.The more seasoned you become,you'll have this happen more than once.You'll reflect back and think "dam I was a whimp".

    When you get bad shots like this,then you can shit your pants.
    These are example pics I saved from guys that posted there bad experiences.
