If you are scared enough, then go to a doctor and pay him cash (not through your insurance) to get a consultation. Preferably a sports physician.

But as a matter of advice, Dianabol (and any other AAS) acts as an anti-immune system drug, lowering your white blood cell count. You therefore will be subject to an array of diseases more easily than without the steroid in your system. However, if you possess a normal constitution, you should get over this "test flu" in three or four days.

The bump you feel from the injection could just be clotting and should go away within a day or so. An abscess (from what I've heard through friends who've actually gotten them) take time to develop, are quite painful and produce a lot of redness in the area.

Give it a few days and don't panic. But like I said: if you're that scared, see a doctor and don't play around.

I had redness and swelling with the first 2 test e shots..had 100 temp..and a little scared...I went to the doc and was placed on KEFLEX (antibiotic)...

While on antibiotics..went ahead and did 3rd shot...still swelling but not as much..I'm going to attribute all of the above to VMS (virgin muscle syndrome) and test flu...I',m on day 10 of the cycle and no temp and really feel great.

The antibiotics helped me through the initial crap that goes on..it kept me from thinking very bad things might be happening. Might not had an infection at all but it really helped me and the head games I play with myself when I'm doing something new to my body.

Hey KEV, My body reacts the same way with Test e, fever body aches 2-3 weeks in then I feel great. On the trouble with your last shot, lump and sorness. if you are infected the redness should show up in 2-3 days area will become swollen and warm if this happens then you need to see your doc. DecimaMAS is right on lower white blood count you'll need somthing to help fight the infection. If you don't take care of it you could get a abscess and that will get ugly. Hang in there
