Is This An Abcess/infection In My Tri?

**MAXIMA5** · 10-06-2006, 09:55 AM

I'm 6 days into my cycle

prop 1-14
tren 1-10
dbol 1-6
winny 7-14

All my injections have been extremely painful.
I also feel like complete $hit every day. I feel tired, achy, and puffy.

Now my left tri is sore, red, and slightly warm. It looks like someone slapped it. I shot it over 48 hours ago for the first time.

Is this normal because it's a small muscle and I hit it with prop for the first time?

Also, if it is an abcess, what form of antibiotic is generally prescribed?

**pumpd4lif** · 10-06-2006, 10:05 AM

it is common for virgin muscle to react like that but that bump looks suspicuis to me bro what are ur doses?

and i would put some heat on it and rub it for like 20 min 2x ed do that for a week see what happens if u start to run a fever in the next day or so go straight to the doctor bro

**MAXIMA5** · 10-06-2006, 10:08 AM

prop 100 mg ED
Tren about 65mg ED for now
Dbol - 35mg Ed

I think the Dbol is making me feel like $hit. I also lost all definition and I feel like a hippo.

**pumpd4lif** · 10-06-2006, 10:26 AM

just keep an eye on it bro hit it with some heat and rub it for a bit each day

but make sure u dont get a fever then it is doctor time

IMO u dont really need to use the dbol bro the prope is fast acting so i would drop the slop IMO.and the tren is probably making u feel shitty but to many factors to no for sure check ur bp

yeah, keep an eye on this......

seems that you might have shot some of the oil in between muscle and skin, so its just sitting there. apply some heat 3 times a day and masage rith after for 5-10 min. helped me ,when i shot in my fat.

**bazerk** · 10-06-2006, 12:37 PM

I like to nuke a damp face cloth before I inject, maybe that will help with the swell

**skipp** · 10-06-2006, 12:49 PM

Why the tricep? Why don't you rotate between larger muscles, quads glutes delts pecs.. They might take the prop better

YEah, I have 2,500 posts so I thought Tren /Prop/Dbol with daily injections would be a great beginner cycle.

Cuase its ED bro...You start lookin for new territory real soon.

Max,
Keep an eye on it. I think you're ok. I've had that happen to me as well. The only timed that it progressed into an infection I could tell by the pain. It went from bad to worse to so excruciating that it was really difficult to move at all...

I use quads, delts, and tried tri's first time this week because I remember how bad the initial quad-prop inections were and I didn't want that happening in my glutes or chest. I may try the glutes now that my tri's are FUBAR.

The only thing I can think that I did different on that tri is that I didn't straighten my arm when I shot. I had it bent. Maybe that strethched the muscle thin and Some of the juice leaked out.

So back to my major concern....Have any of you ever had an abcess, and does this look like one?

**MAXIMA5** · 10-06-2006, 01:37 PM

THANKS FOR ALL THE RESPONSES BROS.

I'm a freak about being sanitary and careful, so the thought of explaining this to my family doc has been bothering me. Not to mention having pus cut out of my arm and jacking up my training.

**MAXIMA5** · 10-06-2006, 01:40 PM

Pumped, Vendetta, Flgator, etc.,,,,

I was thinking the sme thing about dropping the Dbol . I put on 8 lbs of water this week and I feel like re-eaten $hit.
I was thinking about replacing it with Tbol or Var, 2 substances I've had great success with in the past. I'm definitely keeping the winny for the end. It always helps me finish well going into PCT.

It looks like some of the many harmless reactions I've had...on my tris, pecs, and bis.

I hope you're right. I was just worried because my temp was 99.2 earlier. I took some advil, and it's normal again now.

have you tried draining it?

No. I keep thinking of Greg Valentino so I held off on that. PLus I thought if it's just a weird reaction, sticking another pin in it might make it worse.

**Bigmax** · 10-06-2006, 05:22 PM

Keep an eye on it bro...if it gets worse or just not getting better get some antobiotics...amoxicillin,or clyndamycin will usualy be the one they prescribe.

**fLgAtOr** · 10-06-2006, 08:01 PM

I don't think thats appropriate. It's not an abcess...and even then thats bad news bears.

Well,keep an kool pack on your arm,get some antibiotic for 10 days,get some rest....you need antibiotic now,don't wait till get worse.

LPR...dermatology.

**scriptfactory** · 10-07-2006, 04:34 PM

That is not an abcess. How do I know? Well, I have injected virgin triceps on many occasions and every time I get this question. It's the effect of prop and tren on a pretty small muscle. Don't worry. It will happen for the first five or so shots in each of your triceps. Each time you will have less pain.

**timtim** · 10-07-2006, 04:44 PM

worst advice ever!

sticking a pin in there without the proper medical training is irresponsible as hell. go to a doctor. try explaining a major infection because you decided to do minor surgery on your steroid boil.

also, sticking a pin in there and sucking out the puss is a great way to cause a ganglion cyst.

Cool, thanks bro.

It seems to flare up about 24-48 hours after injecting. Yesterday, the left tri in the photo semed to get better, but my right tri that I shot the day aftr the left started to get red and hot.

Now it's decision time. Tomorrow is chest day, so I want to get a good painless workout in. The only part I havent shot yet is glutes. If I shoot my glutes, I wont be able to sit down, but If I hot my delts, it may effect my chest lifts.

**skipp** · 10-08-2006, 08:30 AM

I doubt the pain will be as intense in your glutes, give it a go!

That's not an abscess. It's cellulitis -- an inflammatory reaction of the skin. It may or may not be caused by infection. It could be that you are having a local skin reaction (almost like an allergic reaction) to the gear you are using. I think this is most likely the cause.

Most community-acquired infectious cellulitis is treated with oral Keflex (Cephalexin) at a dose of 500mg 4x/day for at least a 5 day course. This is prophylactic antibiotic coverage and if the cause is allergic (non-infectious) then antibiotics would not affect the course. Also, there are many resistant strains of bacteria that can cause skin infections now, and these would not be effectively treated with Keflex. Still, Keflex is cheap and covers most skin pathogens. I think it is a good idea to have some on hand.

Icing is not indicated. For cellulitis (or even an abscess), heat is preferred as that brings more blood into the area to help clear the inflammatory mediators causing the skin reaction from the area.

Good luck to you,

-J

**MAXIMA5** · 10-09-2006, 04:44 AM

good info. Everything seems to be clearing up in the tri area. I definitely think injecting 1.75cc into a virgin muscle group caused some leakage into the outer tissue and thus caused the inflamation and reaction.

**MAXIMA5** · 10-09-2006, 06:34 AM

OK, I shot my glutes yesteday and today. Not too much pain at all....yet. I hate shooting glutes because aspirating and regulating injection speed can be a bitch when you can;t see what you're doing and your arm is twisted behind your back.

Anyways, I had a good chest workout today and my tri's didn't hinder me at all. I only have a small red spot on my right tri and my left has pretty much recovered completely.

I feel like an ass for crying wolf, but the fever, redness, soreness, swelling, and warmth in the injection site all pointed to INFECTION. or so I thought.
