Need Advice about post shot problem

**TD90k** · 02-02-2007, 02:56 PM

Never had this problem before but after injecting 2cc on sunday I'm still swollen and can barely sit. It is not getting worse but it is getting better either. Today is friday and I started cephaflexin just in case but it doesn't seem to have done anything yet. Do I need to go to the doctor yet or wait a couple of days? I don't want to lose my leg, or get cut on.

Welcome to AR

What did you inject? Did you aspirate ? Did you move the needle around a bit too much? Did you inject too fast?

Everything was done correctly. I have never been this swollen though or sore. I injected 2cc of Test 200. I'm starting to get worried, but do not want to go to the doctor.

apply heat/ice therapy and massage if not improved in a few days then go to doc

I agree , you should apply heat pads, and massage for a while.

Do you guys think that I could have got some bad gear? I'm a bit nervous to take another shot now after this problem. Is it possible that the gear is bad? Should I reconsider the next shot?

Thanks for the tip on the ice and heat. I started that yesterday, but I will stay on it and see what happens this weekend.

We dont know if its the gear bro...but if you feel that much in pain and are second guessing dont do it...try and post a pic of it in the pic forum...

Thanks for the reassurance.

Bigmax, by the way I took the shot on sunday and hit heavy full squat on tuesday with heavy snatch. This may be a stupid question but do you think that played a roll at all on this much swelling?
