need help quick

well i injected on wednesday and my glute is so sore. what does it mean when the injection area is a dark blood color about the size of a golf ball. it looks as if there is a bunch of blood underneath the skin and it is swollen like the size of my hand. should i go to the emergency room or what? i've never seen this before

sounds like u either poked through an oxygen bearing vessel (artery) or u have an infection or both. either way I'd go to the doctor definitely

did it turn blood colored instantly after injection? the reason i ask is u could have went through a vein before entering the muscle

[Musclehead21]

no it just turned blood color and i injected it on wednesday

[Musclehead21]

i bleed alot after the pulled the pin out.

[shot60]

is it hot, do you have a fever,body aches,etc?

[Musclehead21]

I don't have a fever i am not achy it is a little warm. It looks like a blood clot underneath the skin and it is really swollen.

eat some ibuprophen, heat it, massage, give it a day or 2, keep an eye on your temp. if it spikes go 2 the doc imediately or if it get much more swollen or painfull the doc might b the best bet. i feel ur pain man went through the same thing this week but w/o the discolorisation. i ended up going to the er yesterday got some antibiotics didn't really know if it was warranted but better safe than sorry right. stay safe

its happened to me. it was just a bruise that stayed for like 2 weeks. when i pulled the pin out blood just freakin shot out with it. i wouldnt worry about it. i think its just a bruise thats what i was for me.
