**SmittyTheOX** · 07-26-2009, 02:26 AM

Have you shot tris before? What was in that particular shot?

**Big GB4** · 07-26-2009, 04:36 PM

Sometimes when I inject in my thigh it gets very swollen like that just above my knee and it hurts like a bitch. I cannot say that I know what causes it so I just stay away from my thigh.

**Grizzly22** · 07-26-2009, 04:55 PM

That looks painful bro

**HOLLYWOOD85** · 07-26-2009, 05:04 PM

Ouch!!!

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 07:19 PM

yea i do shot tri before but i this time time i shot lil bit down from my usual spot
it was testestrone ethylformate(prop) and Tren E
all my tris inj does hurt lil bit but only for a day but this 1 is painful like i cant curl that arm..
soo should i just wait and c or should i be worried about it

Get to the dr and have this looked at asap!!!!!!

You do not need to wait or try to treat this on your own.

You might get lucvky and it go away.

You might get UNLUCKY and need surgery

Your arm looks bad ..Go to see a dr

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 08:46 PM

wats the reason of this...is it infection? i use all the precautions...using alchoal wipes and new needles..and im sure i didnt shot it in the vein...what should i tell doctor?

**CHAP** · 07-26-2009, 08:52 PM

If your using gear that is not perscription there is a good chance that ir could be contaminated.

Yes I know that you said you had done alot of tri shots. Have any others looked like this?? I didnt think so .

Hey if it were me Id go to the dr.

If you dont go I hope your lucky and it clears up.

But I dont want to see your surgery on youtube with a dr squeezing the fluid out of your abcess..

Good luck

AND TELL THE DR YOU SHOT STEROIDS INTO YOUR TRICEP THAT COULD HAVE BEED DIRTY AND YOU NEED ANTIBIOTICS TO BE SAFE INCASE IT IS AN ABCESS.

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 08:55 PM

I Always make sure the vial and the vial cap (rubber bung)is clean and i dont touch the needle before injecting. I always use 2 needles. one to draw out the oil and one to inject. the one you use to push thrue the rubber and in the the vial will be blunt. so i use a fresh one to inject.

I did a 100mg test ethylformate(prop) and 100 mg tren e in my tri
It got red, hot and swollen. Funny thing was that the pain and swelling was not at the injection site, but a couple of inches lower towards the elbow joint.

I dont think i have a fever though...
more input will help me alot
thanks

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 08:56 PM

What kinda Antibiotics i need...is there any specific one for these or jus the normal ones?

**Tjohn6231** · 07-26-2009, 09:11 PM

I would just be truthful with a doctor. He should be able to help you more if he knows all of the details. I hope it gets better.

Yes there are specific ones.

I am not a dr and can not tell you the correct ones that will work.

What I can tell you is that there are tons of differant antibiotics and they each have specific uses.

This is not a good situation to try and self medicate.

Im only trying to get you to have it looked at . In the end it is on you. In NO wat am I trying to cross the line. And if I have Im sorry for that.

Good luck. This will get a swelling away from the injection sid easwell as the redness away too.

Good luck brother. Throw me a PM if it gets better or worse ..

**Hunter** · 07-26-2009, 09:13 PM

red and warm to touch are signs of infection. You could tell your doc you were using b12 and believe it may have gotten infected if you dont want to tell him about your gear usage. You should see a doctor tho, and let them decide on the type and dosage of antibiotic.

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 09:16 PM

Should i stop the cycle or no...as im about to finish this vial may be like 2 more injection from the same vial...no problem in any other site
when i did the tricep injection and rub it after to spread the oil i can feel it moving in the inj spot...i dunno if that make sense

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 09:18 PM

thanks for all the inputs guy as this was done on fri and its lil bit better then sat night so i guess i wait for another night to c if it go down if not then i will make a trip to the Dr.
should i stop the cycle or use different injection spots?i delts yest and glutes today with the same gear

**diesel405** · 07-26-2009, 09:51 PM

Red and warm are not always the signs of infection. Prop sucks period. If you usually shoot your thigh and now shot your tri, thats a much smaller muscle. Of course its gunna be more red and painfull. Prop does this to me all the time, sometimes my muscle even "balls up", is extremely hot and sunburn red, and will stay that way for 5 days. If its getting better its not an infection. Thats something your body cant fight off alone. You shoulda posted a pic of your other tricep so we could c the difference. keep us posted.

**venomm** · 07-26-2009, 11:40 PM

here are the pics of my both arms...the one with the tatto is the swollen one(right arm)

**monkeyman33** · 07-27-2009, 12:14 AM

I would go to the doctor just to be safe or urgent care center. Although it is probably fine and inherently injecting prop into your triceps is not a good idea it should be looked at. Unless you have large triceps I do not suggest injecting anything into your arms unless it is an insulin needle.

Is this your home made gear or did you get it from a trusted supplier?

**venomm** · 07-27-2009, 01:16 AM

The gear is from a trusted supplier and im like into 7th week of it....im monitoring my arm till i go the doc. and now the pain is right where the elbow joint is and thats where its swollen and not at the injection site

**diesel405** · 07-27-2009, 06:26 AM

lol, i did inject my bi's and tri's alot. With a 23 and 25g pin 5/8. Got sick of being a pin cushion, so recently started legs. Just from expierence, the reason its running down your elbow is just gravity. The oil is trying to dispurse. I'd give it 5 days from your injection and if its still as bad then go see a doctor.

**monkeyman33** · 07-27-2009, 02:41 PM

Several years ago I used to get often a burst bursa sack or something like that behind the elbow and it would be very concerning but always ended up disappearing on its own after about five days.

**banthar** · 07-27-2009, 02:56 PM

I would be at Doc

**venomm** · 07-28-2009, 12:19 AM

Yea this(monday) is the thrid day and im gonna make a trip to the walk in tomm morning jus to be on the safe side....now its down at the elbow joint and the forearm is stiff and hard...which i guess means oil is dispursing?

**venomm** · 07-28-2009, 02:30 PM

So i went to the doc and he said its a infection...Cellulitis and prescribe me antibiotics cephalexin and reactine for allergy..just have few questions
Should i stop the cycle while im on antibiotics as it probably kill watever foreign substance i take?
Or should i use different inj.spots
I was using this Vial from July16..so like inject 9 times from it...is it my gear contaminated as all other 8 times..i didnt c nuthing
Please reply back with input so i know wat to do with injections
Thanks

**diesel405** · 07-28-2009, 09:50 PM

Dam bro, sorry to hear that and sorry about giving bad advise. I try to speak from my own personal experiences, and that s**t happened to me MANY times. I actually have it now. I just got another batch of homebrew prop and it (prop) just dont agree with me. Now day 2 i have a knot in my thigh, its red , hot and raised. In the past i have actually seen it go from mid thigh down and wrap around my knee. 5 days later im fine. Idk, mabey i have superhuman healing..... lol. Well f**k it, as long as its your good now. Good luck brotha..............

**venomm** · 07-28-2009, 11:59 PM

its all good...so any input about keep on doing the cycle and inject in diff parts except the tris or should i wait and see?

No it will not cause your gear to stop working antibiotics work against bacteria not a synthetic horomone i.e steroids . If you feel this is an isolated case with your gear then I would continue your cycle.

**venomm** · 07-29-2009, 12:40 AM

Yea because i used it after that too in my glutes and delts and didnt c any same symtoms there and i use it before the friday shot(the shot day that give me this injection)

**G4R** · 07-29-2009, 12:53 AM

Well, at least now you know if it happens again what you need to do. And hopefully, if it does happen again, you can treat it quicker, with less swell.

Good luck and BE CAREFUL

**gettingjackedandtan** · 07-29-2009, 01:04 AM

eq makes my arm swell up similarly, prob shit quality gear man. i wouldnt sweat it goes away in 2 days for me.

**venomm** · 07-29-2009, 08:39 AM

So should i be using this same vial or no....because i have 1 more of the same one left and as i stated i did inject it from few other times w/o causing any of this...

**DEVLDOG** · 07-29-2009, 08:49 AM

put hot compress on it,it will go away on its own after about 3 days, my tris would blow up from time to time also whenever I injected TREN into them. I never used Tren E always acetate but whatever its still made form the same shitty pellets...dont sweat it bro,must have happened 100x over the last 20yrs to me.

This is exactly what i was saying.I have the same symptoms right now, and they always go away. Im gunna go digging to find this thread. The doc said he had the same thing, but this guy had an ultrasound done and from what i understand found nothing. Doc said it must be the way his body reacted to that foreign substance. MAKE SURE U READ THE WHOLE THING.....

**diesel405** · 07-29-2009, 09:34 AM
