    Infection + Cycle Question

    Had a bad injection (was clean but my hand was a bit shakey during the actual injection) last thursday. I've been monitoring it since the saturday, when I expected the swelling to go down. It's now tuesday, still very sore (maybe even a bit itchy), still a bit swollen, looks a bit brused and warm to touch. I assume it is infected and there for am gonna hit up the ER or a clinic tonight for the "oh so fun" slice and drain.. Never had an infection yet.. but a few buddies have, and I hear it isn't fun.

    Anyways.. to my question.. Should I continue to inject with this cycle..? I assume my vials are not contaminated.. but.. I can't be sure since I cleaned everything during the injection (vial, hands, spot to be injected, aspirated, etc)... Has anyone had this experience, and continued the cycle.. or did you come off?

    If its a bit sore, it can be normal. If its warm, that might be normal as well. There are other symptoms to show you have an infection, such as red spots. I wouldn't go to the ER just yet, but that's just me. Bump

    I was told to wait a week.. but was also told but another friend to have it checked right away. I really haven't had a spot this swollen for this long.. the only thing that really worries me is the abnormal color. It looks sorta like a bruise or broken blood vessels.. hard to explain.. not the entire thing.. but a good size spot..

    Man, I have had a black spot at the inj site for two weeks before. Also, I have had bad lumps, heat etc and always was with QV products... Never went to the ER, although I thought about it a few times. They always cleared up after a week or so. Now, Red lumps that glow in the dark and red streaks = real trouble.
    Kahoona.
