Injection site painful and swollen

**lowep3** · 02-12-2008, 09:29 AM

Ok, so I'm on my second cycle and I'm taking 500mg Test-e and 400mg Deca with Dbol at 35mg ED. My first cycle was just Test-e at 500mg. Ok well here's my problem. I did my first injects last Friday and everything went smooth. A little sore in both glutes because it was my first time injecting them(I only hit my delts first cycle). The pain went away a day later. Then on Sunday(2 days later) the pain became awful after working on my feet all day. Couldn't sit down and the area where I injected was a little swollen. Well yesterday I woke up and felt great, still a little swollen and warm. But after working again on my feet I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave work. The area was extremely warm and painful but had no redness. I should point out that I injected both glutes, and this is only happening to one side. It's the side I injected the Test in. Well today I woke up and it's still pretty painful but I can at least walk around for the time being. It's still a little warm and the swelling has gone down a little but it's still there. So I need your guys help here. I don't think it's an infection because I don't have any redness and the pain only gets worse when I'm moving around. Could it be an allergic reaction or something? Any help is appreciated.

could be a minor allergy to the solvents or carrier used in the making of the compound.

if you knwo whats all in it - that would be beneficial.

sometimes it just takes a lil gettin used to.. you will always have good and bad shots... just part of the game

So, you are injecting the test and deca separately? Why not combine them? Is the test and deca from the same company or lab?

It could also be just virgin muscle...

warmth indicates the body fighting off an infection.

Yeah, same company(BP). I've thought about mixing them, I might have to try that. I think this test has a high BA concentration. I haven't had an allergic reaction to anything before, but you could be right. The inject spot is swollen about 2 inches in diameter and overall the whole cheak looks bigger than the other. Does that sound like an allergic reaction? Thanks for the replies btw.

Deca nonmedical ingredients-benzyl alcohol in kernel apricot usps grade oil.

Test nonmedical ingredients-benzyl alcohol in kernel apricot usps grade oil.

They're both the same so shouldn't I feel it in both glutes?

I second that see the doc... ya never ever know.. sounds like a allergic reaction to me ..

**taiboxa** · 02-12-2008, 05:05 PM

i honestly wouldnt worry about it.. some swelling can last up to 8 days and then quickly subside... only worry abuot it if it keeps swelling larger and larger after 3 days

**lowep3** · 02-12-2008, 06:11 PM

Awesome, thanks for the helps guys. I'm gonna tryin mixin the deca and test and pinning twice a week.

i know how much of a pain in the ass some shots can be,pun intended,sust messes up my glutes so i just don't go there.quad shots aren't as bad.motrin helps me with the swelling and inflammation,i'm only speaking for myself.

**legobricks** · 02-12-2008, 06:36 PM

My first cycle i had pain and swelling most all the time a few days after injection. Some would last a week but always subsided. I beleive it was due to the gear i was using as some other cycles with different brands I was fine. As tai stated is part of the game.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try taking some motrin and mixin the oils together. Never had this problem on my first cycle, but it looks like I'm just gonna have to man up and deal with it lol
