Site pain question

**Project** · 02-02-2008, 09:49 PM

Okay, first inject of 300mg/ml enth four days ago in the quad (.85ml). As of now site is still a little warm, fairly knotted, painful (though not as unbearably painful as the last three days (couldn't walk without a limp until today)), and itchy. Normal findings?

**Big** · 02-02-2008, 09:52 PM

Nope, not normal. Shouldn't be warm, that can be a sign of infection. Any redness?

**Project** · 02-02-2008, 09:55 PM

Pink yesterday. Not today tho. I was hoping it was just inflammation not due to infection.

**sirbuster** · 02-02-2008, 09:59 PM

I have similar situation, what do you do if you see redness?

If it's warm and red I would get on antibiotics.

I guess the true first dose was 8 days ago. 0.2ml in the rt quad and 0.65ml in the lft 12 hours later. Pretty sore quads for the next couple of days but nothing like this.

The warmness is what concerns me, definitely keep an eye on it. If the discoloration has lessened it's probably on the mend, but never take an infection lightly.

Seems like an unorthodox injection schedule, what does your cycle look like?

**sirbuster** · 02-02-2008, 10:04 PM

tell the doctor what? will any antibiotics work i may have some.

sorry Project, not trying to jack your thread.

**Big** · 02-02-2008, 10:08 PM

The most likely prescribed antibiotic in this case would be Cephalexin, you can order "Fish-Flex" from online pet stores without prescription and it's the same thing. I always keep some on hand just in case.

Supposed to be Tue/Fri but I've been trying to figure out if I've got shit gear and shouldn't use anymore. Your thoughts?

thanks, ill order some rite now. I have zithromax, it is an antibiotic, think it would work?

**sirbuster** · 02-02-2008, 10:17 PM

didn't find any fish-flex at perco or petsmart, which pet store do you use?

Difficult to say, are you using sterile procedures?

Zithromax is also for bacterial infections, but I've never used it.

**Project** · 02-02-2008, 10:22 PM

I doubt it was me (I'm a nurse), but of course I could be wrong. What would you suggest?

your the man

**Big** · 02-02-2008, 10:24 PM

If you've done 3 shots and only had issues with 1 I wouldn't assume it's the gear just yet.

**Project** · 02-02-2008, 10:25 PM

Hey Ima, truly appreciate the time and energy. Ima go pin now, thanks.

**Big** · 02-02-2008, 10:26 PM

Good luck, keep us posted on how it goes.

I'm in the same situation, except there has been no redness whatsoever. My quad has been knotted up for 4 days and is warm to the touch. Any ideas?

Mine was the same. Take that and all of the above for what it's worth.

**Project** · 02-04-2008, 02:15 PM

Pinned again Saturday night. Leg feels much better this time around. Sorta like I got shot with a paintball and not like I had a piece of glass broken off in there. Anyway, woke feeling pretty shitty today. A lot like how I felt this last Friday: woozy head, very fatigued. Test flu?

**Dangercat00** · 02-05-2008, 01:55 AM

I have access to both amoxicillin and penicillin, which one would be a better choice to rid my leg of infection?
