Prop flu? urgent..

[scribbs12]

I have had knots in my ass for the past 5 days... still havent gone away.. today is the 5th.. i checked my temp and it read 101 F .... my source said its probably just prop flu and that i should wait it out for 2 days and take moltrin or somethign to reduce the fever...
--the injection sites are red and warm to the touch and slightly painful not that much..
--currently injecting 100mg a day of prop. at 100/1
and 250x2 of test e (250/1)
should i drain the knots in my ass?? with a syringe?
-- should i wait it out?
--or should i go to the hospital?

any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks

I am no expert, but it sounds like it could be a bit infected if it is red and warm. The fever is another indicator. Like I said, I could be very wrong. I would wait for someone else in here that knows more than I but I would consider a visit to the ole DR.

I have heard of lumps in the rump before when the juice didn't quite get into the muscle, but everyone that I have heard that about didn't run a fever and the knot was not red and warm. I will stick with the infection thing, however, there is for sure alot more experience in here than me.

Good luck Bro.

Well heres my 2 cents, I felt like I got the prop flu the day after I started my first shot, lasted for about 4 days...my injection sites were red and warm to touch aswell but didnt think they were infected just a reaction of a virgin muscle, and maybe a lil reaction to the oil and test etc...redness and soreness lasted usually around 3 days. Am finding now that I am around 3 weeks in that my sites do not get red anymore, still a lil sore to touch which is expected but no or very lil redness. As to the lumps, never had any of these...could be caused by not getting into the muscle (are you using a 1" or 1.5" and hows ure body fat?), are you shooting all the test at once into the same spot, if so 3.5cc of liquid is alot to be putting in? If you are worried than I say its better to be safe then sorry and see a doctor, might be worth giving it a day or two to see if the pain and redness etc reduces or gets worse, try sitting on some ice packs to try and reduce swelling etc...but like I say if worried see a doc. Hope I helped a little, sure there is others on here with better info than me.

I would wait maybe 2 more days and see how it goes, if it gets better. I wouldnt drain anything, leave it alone. If it doesnt get better or gets worse go see a doc ASAP. Ive had this happen to me a few times. The first time was many years ago and I let it drag on for about 2 weeks, turns out it was an abcess. I had a 102 degree fever in the end and felt really sick. The doc drained it, and I kept going back to the doc for treatments over the course of a month or more but it kept comming back. I finally had to go in for surgery to have the dying tissue cut out. Dont wait as long as I did!
About a year ago I had a similar situation, but the pain and swelling went away after about 10 days or so. This time I went to the doc and was prescribed some antibiotics. Not sure if I had an abcess, but just to be safe. The last thing you want is an abcess, its a terrible thing to go through.

yeah i had that prop is good and its bad, u got the bad right now lol. U just have to get used to it. Think of it kinda like having a blister on ur hands that eventually turns in2 a calice. Thats a good analogy I think. Its because the preservatives are so high in the prop for some reason thats why it hurts mine did too big knot, fever, pain, swelling, felt like shit. Yep just bear with it and u might wanna go to EOD or every 3 days and see if that helps. Technically u can shoot it every 3 days if u have to.

okay thanks guys... im thinking its because i made the mistake of sticking 5/8th inch into my glutes... but i i have 1.5pins now for my glutes.. im still using 5/8th for my shoulders and quads.. i'll just let it drag out for 2 more days.. so if my fever doesnt go away on sunday... i'll go see a doctor..

cycle me-- im shooting 1cc in 2 differnt spots .. ie.(if im doing quads.. i'll hit the same quad in 2 differnt spots) on mon and thurs... wen i do prop and test e....

thanks for the info guys..

i'll probably switch to e0d.. until it goes away.. but i'll check my temp in the morning... im just going to have my ac on blast the whole night... hopefully that helps..


i just took 2 tylenol extrs stregth- says on the back its for "fever reduction"

[scribbs12]

just took my temp right now and it seems to be going down from about 30min ago when i took my temp x3 it was at 100.2,100.1,100.1 now.. i guess thats somewhat of a good sign.

when shootin prop id suggest at least six sites i would shoot eight... delts, quads, glutes, pecs... rotate as much as you can

[scribbs12]

i got 6 sites atm.. im thinking of doing calves... i really dont want to do pecs... possibly traps.. or if i switch to eod.. it wouldnt matter... if im doing glute glute delt delt quad quad...---cause the time in between would be greater since im doing e0d not ed

[scribbs12]

well im off to go to sleep.. i'll update in the morning to see if my fever went away..thanks again for the advice.

I shoot prop EOD, Glutes and shoulders and sometimes tri's and quads, glutes and shoulders easiest for me. 5/8 pins will be fine for quads and shoulders, that could def be the cause of ure lump in ure ass. Good luck for the next day or two!

had the same thing with test e, not really a bad thing from my experience

[scribbs12]

temp is 97.5.. i guess the tynenol worked +ac.. im just happy its gone.. im pretty sure it was the gear that made me get the fever becaues i literally havent been sick cold/fever whatever in a few years.

good to hear your improving, keep an eye on those lumps but all sounds better.

[scribbs12]

im thinking its just a reaction now... because now both of my delts are swollen and red/hot... and i have a fever again.... 100.4...
