Large lump in my thigh around injection site

[GrdLock]

I'm not sure how long it's been there, but tonight just after I did my injection and I went to rub my leg I noticed a rather large lump about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. It doesn't hurt at all, but it's really hard.

Anyone know what this could be?

Bro don't sweat it yet. Everyone gets some swelling now and then. It also depends on what your injecting and how much. I get knotted up sometimes. if it's still there in a couple days and red and sore start thinking about seeing a doc. What are you using and how much per injection?

It could be a build up of oil............ try using heat and rubbing the area

In that leg I'm shootin 500mg/wk test.

Guess I'll just keep an eye on it and see what happens.

Have you been injecting in that leg mostly? If so you need to rotate the sites and try not to hit them more than once a week.

500 mg at what ml? I assume it's 250mg/ml...hence 500mg/2ml. Is that right? Or is it 100mg/ml thus 500mg/5ml....I would imagine 2mls/2ccs per week shouldn't build up that much...but 5mls/5ccs in a week in one quad is asking a lot. Are you doing ED injections with 100mg/ml of test prop? or 250mg/ml of whatever or what? Whatever it is...rotate the injection site. And monitor the leg to see if the lump decreases....if you start to get a fever and sweats and tender in the area with red swelling and shiat...be mindful that it could be an infection which needs to be addressed(doctor visit) quickly. Just be careful and rotate sites.
What is weird is that you never noticed the lump before....i'm almost thinking you maybe didn't inject far enough into the leg muscle and therefor you have a load of oil in your fat layer. What size needle do you use for the leg?

this is what i did when i had the same thing happen to my delt... it freaked me out at first but it went away after a couple of days of massaging it and using a heating pad...

[AnthonyM]

are you shooting 500mg in the one quad? That really isnt the best thing at least switch between the two quads. Are you doing 500 a week or more?

what if the site is red and hurts, but there is noway you can see a doc? ie. your in the military.

if it is red and hurts... and u are running a fever... i wld go see a doctor. u could have an abcess. if it's just red and hurts... keep an eye on it for a few days. u might just be having a reaction to the gear. that happened to me when i shot 1.5 cc's in my tricep...

each time the spot has swelled up and been sore. this spot is just a little more. there is no abcess and i dont have a fever. a buddy of mine is using the same gear and is having the same problem.
