guys i need your advice as i am new to AAS. i am half way through a cycle and after an injection in my quad i think it may be infected, for the last 2 weeks there has been pain there, it wasnt too bad for the first week butthis last week the pain has gotten worse that i now limp and cannot jog. When i was injecting the test e, about a tiny drop came up and bubbled at the point the needle went in (this is the only time this has ever happend) so i am not sure if the soreness is an infection or something to do with the bubling.

i have been doing some research on the net and cephalosporin, specifically cephalexin is what i find in my google searches as a possible antibiotic. I dont want to go to my doctor as i dont want it to go into my medical record.

if by refered pain u mean pain in another part of my body then no there isnt, just my quad. my knee is not buckling, yes i took the standard disinfecting procedure, there is no discolouration but i think the muscle has swollen a little

Red skin, swelling, hot? Fevers at night? These usually accompany infection.

Try some hot baths. If it is infected and minor enough, improved blood circulation will help your body clear it. Chances are if its 2 weeks and hasn't gotten really bad, it will clear on its own.

Antibiotics - use Keflex (Cephalexin). Can buy it as Fish Flex - fish antibiotic but same thing, search online. 500mg either 2 or up to 4 times per day (depending on severity) for 1 week.

The above is for informational purposes only. Do whatever you choose at your own risk.

thats wierd, i dont have any red skin or discolouration at all, no fevers, i feel fine, maybe it is a very minor infection and will clear on its own. ill try stay off it as much as i can and see how it goes for a couple of days.

Although "go to the doctor" is the conservative advice (and I am a doctor), it is sometimes the case that this is not easily done. If you have no insurance, a ER visit will run you several hundred dollars and a 6 hour wait. In this scenario that you have described I feel comfortable advising you to "watch and wait", and as I said, hot baths or hot compresses can help.

By the way, I see you have this same topic started on another thread. Don't do this...it is bad form.

I agree with the Doc.
In my first cycle I had the same symptoms, i waited 4 days, it was red and swollen and painful, hit the Keflex, was all better in a couple of days.

Also, who wants to tell a Dr that you're on the gear? They frown upon it and I for one would feel judged.
