first cycle... abcess??

**frank mackey** · 07-28-2008, 09:32 PM

hey guys, I'm on my first cycle which is just sustanon for 8 weeks. My last inject was on saturday at which time while trying to push the oil through my right glute my hand slipped off the syringe causing the needle to move around quite a bit. At the time i had immediate soreness but eventually went away throughout the day. Since then the area has developed almost a golf ball sized lump with redness and a lil purple (bruise looking) and slightly warm to the touch but not anymore pain soreness than a regular inject. I thought it was just trauma from having the needle wiggling around. i was just reading about abcesses and am starting to freak out. i currently dont have health insurance so i would like to avoid a trip to dr. if at possible. any and all help, thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Ouch bro

I have a mental picture of the slip and visualize an extreme miss.

Is the lump on the exterior, or under the skin? An abcess is nothing to screw around with and I'd definitely seek medical counsel.

It sounds VERY infected and a trip to the doctor now would save a surgery if it keeps growing.

Honestly we can give you all the advice in the world but it's more about listening to yourself and making the decision.

Put it this way. If it's infected at a early stage it's treatable by orals and sometimes a shot. Wait to long and they have to cut it open sometimes.
Doctor visit now - $75 + Antibiotics
ER visit in a week - $300 + treatment and IV (300-500)
