delt inject not deep enough: lump

**smartwater** · 09-09-2006, 01:00 PM

hi i injected left delt (1ml 250mg Test Enth Norma with 1" 23G) on tuesday. first attempt i hit a vein when asp. so rushed a second attempt and did not go deep enough - first time injecting delts. heres the problem;

the site is sore there is a lump but ive discovered that when i put pressure on it / massage it hurts but then the pain moves elsewahere suggesting its a lump of oil beneath skin. i can literally mould it and feel the oil. there is no redness on the area.

what should i do? how long shoulodl i wait before doctor? next workout is monday

I would try to pop it with e new steril pin. See if you can drain it my your self.

That is just my .02

Yea try to do it yourself if you are confident but if not go to a doc.

I am still trying to figure out how you didn't go deep enough on a delt shot, unless you have a lot of BF

i used a 1" pin bout must have drawn the needle out a bit as i was pushing the plunger.
should i be concerned about the heat/warmth coming from the area where the oil is sitting though?

There's 1 other thing to try IF there's no redness in the area. Sometimes, a warm/hot compress will help dissipate the oil and get it moving.
However, if there is a good bit of redness, do as Gsxxr said and either have it drained or if you are comfortable doing it, drain it yourself.

if its getting warm its proably an abscess. try and drain like gsxxr said. if puss comes out = abscess. is it red?

if you going to drain it yourself dont forget to take some pix, good luck.

how red does it have to be? i havent got v fair skin so its hard to tell tbh

right didnt train today - the lump area has decreased in size dramtically but im still holding my breathe. i think working out actually inihibits the oil being dissipated and forces it out of the muscle layer into the fat layer. how long shoulod i wait for comeplete dissipation. im thinking 5 days

sounds like its improving...do as AG said & try warm compresses & then massaging the area...

On my first cycle near the end I got oil trapped in a glute. I couldn't move it around but very experienced bodybuilders said it was ok, the oil will subside. And it did, lump took longer then 5 days though, no heat, no fever. Just a lump I could feel, if that helps you sleep any better.
