Anyone thats had an infection... little help

[NYG]

OK , Jack, went ahead and popped my cherry anyway. It was alot less of a hassle once you just poke, asp, and push nice and slow. Everything was sterile for sure (the gear of course, is still in question.)
Now the waiting process. I'll let you know either way as I'll be checking to see your progress on the board anyway. You said you could barely walk 3 days later. If that's my case, I should get my f***ing head checked for not listening to you.

[Kelleh]

Wow thats intense gives me second thought about injecting.

[Atomini]

I'm sure Jack is the exception, not the rule. NYG, keep us updated. I've got a bottle of Test Cyp here made by the same company in November 2006 and I plan on using it soon. Though, I only heard the bad batches (underdosed and unsterile) were with the Test E batches.

From what I've "heard" it also has to do with 2006 batches and my man. date was feb 05.
And I want to beleive it.

[JackBauer]

I think atomini is correct. giants- wish you the best of luck bro.. I think at this point the best advice I can give you is go to petco and pick up a bottle of keflex to keep on hand and start taking 500mg 4 times daily as soon as you show signs of infection (fever, redness, swelling, hot/warm to the touch) and get to a doctor if redness doesn't go down within 24 hours. Hopefully none of that will be necessary though... best of luck bro....

stay safe,
Jack

Anybody want a free bottle of Decobol? j/k lol!

[JackBauer]

well sorry to B D but I'd rather look like an asshole and make everyone second guess than have to go through what I have gone through or even worse what maldorf fought through. if in doubt just filter it brother

[Maldorf]

Ouch Maldorf....

About 4 yrs ago. Once the surgery was done it was great. I was squatting over 405 lbs the very next day! There was a small twinge when I would hit the bottow of the movement but thats about it. Stiches never tore or anything. I had no limitations.

thats crazy! how the heck does that work?! i woulda waited at least a week but more power to ya!
interesting, when i tore my tricep the doctor said a month before anything heavy. then the therapists tol me 6 weeks. i was paranoid and scarred so i waited the 6.
maybe cuz a tear is sloppyier than a cut?

Jack,
Are you still in the hospital? What have they been doing for you since you have been in there? I'm sure IV antibiotics but anything else? Hope you are feeling better soon. I can't believe that this happened to you on your very first injection. Freaking crazy. I've been injecting at least once a week for 2yrs and haven't had a problem so don't let this get you down. PM me when you get a chance, I have a question for you.

[JackBauer]

yes I'm still in the hospital and yes it sucks..... I just spoke to a general surgeon bc I was waiting on word from him if he was gonna cut into me to release whatevers in my leg or if he was gonna send me home...he's not sure so now I gotta wait on an orthopedic surgeon.... justtrnd40 I sent you a PM

[NYG]

Is the whole splinter story still sticking with all the MD's diagnosing you?

[getfit28]

Wow bro, I just seen this & I just want to say that everythig goes well for you

[JackBauer]

yeah NYG believe it or not it has.... I think the surgeon was a little skeptical though because he's wondering how I would develop an abcess or collection of blood like that from a splinter... so I'm waiting on the orthopedic now to see what they say

[NYG]

Well then, I guess I have an alabi if I need it. It's been about 19-20 hours since I shot into my glute and my cheek became a little sore this morning but that's to be expected. Then again this is what you felt like on day 2-"Very Little Pain." I guess tommorrow will tell me more.

On top of that, just found out I'm going away for 4 days (Mon-Thu) on business, so I have to decide whether or not to shoot early mon or not. This paranioa is enough to make me say that this is the last time I'm going to do this sh*t. I can't even imagine how you feel.

Let us know what the orthepedic doc says.

[albright004]

thanks for the post man, keep us updated. hope all goes well

[JackBauer]

ended up not seeing one.... they are discharging me so I GET TO GO HOME FINALLY!

[jc77x]

Wow...I just read this whole post...............I went thru the same thing with the Quad/Infection. And had another infection 2 weeks prior that wasnt as bad but sitll.......Both were from Bad Test E ..same dates and mfg that you have there in your pictures......I tossed that shit out quick!...read back on some of my posts during July and you will find it.....I used the Splinter story too!!.....except in your case I may have fessed up If a surgeon was ready to cut

haha that's crazy man I wish I caught that before I took it. I still have all that gear and I feel like sending it back with a note that says your lucky I don't sue... I mean honestly this bill is gonna be close to 5,000 over some bunk gear..... I can't wait to start a real cycle...

[NYG]

jc77x- Sent you a PM.

[Maldorf]

Glad everything turned out ok, and you are back home. Your luck in the future should be better. Stick to really well known sources from now on. Your other source that you got this stuff from wasnt well known was he?

[JackBauer]

thanks maldorf... yeah im at home... go back to work tomorrow.... as for my source I am not sure how known/unknown... it is a website... like an online pharmacy... and it shipped from greece if thats any hint... anyway I emailed them today to tell them not to sell to anyone else (even though im sure they will). Ive been reading all f-in weekend on how to filter gear... just ordered more pins, a few whatmans, and some BA... Also put in an order for a really well known reliable source for some more test E... so at this point im wondering whether or not to filter, add some BA and use the testabol enanthate that i got the infection from or just toss it all together...

[sarcomere]

It's probably best to toss it, but if you were to filter it, then you should be good to go... if your an unlucky guy though you might have gotten the filter with a hole.. I wish getting powder wasn't an issue cause then you could make it yourself and make sure it's filtered well the first time... Anyone know how to synthesize test from scratch? haha

[JackBauer]

yeah funny you ask... i have a $300 million lab in my backyard......

[Kratos]

JB you want to cook that gear if you want to shoot it, and cook it good. Put it in the oven at 240 for like 40 min or a boiling water bath should do.

[JackBauer]

with or without filtering it?.. ive read a lot about heating gear, and heard a lot of mixed results because it wont kill everything... so if i filter, add BA I still have to cook it?

[Kratos]

What organisim harmful to humans will survive cooking? Only spores and viruses, if you were treated successfully with antibiotics cooking should be the only sterilization method you need to make your gear safe.

[JackBauer]

ill take your advice, im also going to filter it though

[Kratos]

ill take your advice, im also going to filter it though

I can't blame you after ending up in the hospital. Glad to have you back in action.

[JackBauer]

haha thanks man

[crazyhorse666]

I had a simelar instance happen to me. not fun

[pr0digy9daniel]

My suggestion, if its not gear yourve used before from a trusted source, dont inject 2ml all at once... I would inject 1/2 a ml or 1/4 a ml if I wasnt sure... Why inject a shitload of potential crap into your muscles...

[JackBauer]

Uhm, one question, why inject 2ml? Personally, thats a little much, I dont know if its your first cycle or anything. However, if the gear I am using is from a new manufacturer/supplier, I would probably be cautios. If anything, inject half a ml for the first one just to see how you react to it. For all you know, you could be allergic to it, or it could be contaminated...

read the post... it was my first inject.... i posted pics in the picture forum to make sure it was going to be legit, and i injected 2mls because i was frontloading..

dude... im not going to say it again.......

[JackBauer]

and secondly it doesn't matter how much gear you inject, if its contaminated your going to get an infection, and cellulitus spreads like a mother so thats irrelevant

[Maldorf]

and secondly it doesn't matter how much gear you inject, if its contaminated your going to get an infection, and cellulitus spreads like a mother so thats irrelevant

Exactly! All it takes is a couple of bacteria, microscopic mind you, and the process of cell division will produce millions of them in a matter of a day or so. Doesnt take much, so volume injected doesnt mean jack.
If I were you I would throw that crap out, and wait until you get more in from a trusted source. How many vials is it? Even 10 bottles of it wouldnt be enough for me to chance it, I would throw them all out. If it was contaminated, you cant trust anything the bottle says. It could be nothing but oil and have no test in it at all, or be seriously underdosed. I still wouldnt rule out that it might be counterfit. Counterfiters know all the tricks to make it look legit, they are very cleaver.
