injecting in the wrong place

alright just got my friend on his first cycle and thought he knew exactly what he was doing, he asked me about a small lump he recieved after injecting in his quad, so I was talking to him about it and then I found out that he did not inject into the muscle that he pinched his skin and stuck the needle in like sideways or something and injected in fat cells or skin or who knows what! I dont konw what is going to happen, I think he just wasted that injection and I informed him that it is an intramuscular injection and that he has to inject deep in the muscle, does anyone know if there is any risk or danger he should be aware of since he injected in the WRONG place!

if it does not disipate absorb he could get an infection.
keep an eye on it, heat and message it a bit too.
whatch for: swelling, warm to the touch, fever, and verry verry sore. if there is a concern go to a doc. it can be cleared up with meds real quick if caught early.

Yeah this injection is pretty much wasted....... also now he will need to watch that it doesn't turn into an abcess. All he needed to do was a little reading and this could have been avoided.
