I did a shot of Cyp in my quad on Sunday and since this I have developed a red rash problem with my skin about 5 inches around the injection area. What do I do. It is slightly painful to the touch, like a bruise or something. Please consult ASAP, I have never had a problem like this before.
could be an infection
so should I go to the doctor or just ride it out a few more days.
dont know but it sounds like an infectionQuote:

red rash sounds like an infection if it is sore also.
try massaging the area for couple minutes , pushing skin back and forth.
if nothing, go to the doctor.
it hs never happened to me either that is the problem. I always am very sterile about what I do and use new needles every time.
it might just be sore bro did it hurt when u injected maybe u hit a nerve u would feel it if u did
I had the same thing bro, it looked like a red spider web under my skin and hurt like hell....it went away after about 5 days, that's why I don't do thigh injections anymore
Infections will eventually get warm to the touch...my bet is that it is just irritated
infection bro
Bro keep tabs on it - if you start to run a fever or it continues to spread go to ER and see a Doc ASAP
how can you be so sure.Quote:

Others tollerate the glute better and thigh less... it just happens, everyone is a little different and our bodies really dont like this raw vegetable oil stuff we keep injecting into our muscles. You are bound to get some kind of unhappy reaction to these foriegn materials being forced into your muscles (ala injection of oil based steroids).Quote:

If you are over injecting your quads and building scar tissue, as this happens more and more of your injection will leak out into this area and it causes generally knotting up and a full week of pain and difficulty walking. This can happen to any over injected muscle or if you are not injecting deep enough. I read of people using 5/8 needles to inject 2.5 CC's into their quads then wondering why the knot up, etc.. its because too much material is leaking out of the muscle. Its painful but eventually the oil breaks down and is metabolised, testosteone or steroid payload makes its delivery but its painful in most places over then in the muscle.
well I am a paranoid person so I went to the doc and got some antibiotics just incase of infection. thanks for al the info though. appreciate it.
