injection issue

**xderekx** · 08-13-2009, 07:01 PM

whats up guys...i havent posted in awhile but i have a question and perhaps you can help.

i'm in my 16th week of my test e/eq cycle and things have been going well...up until sunday.

i took a shot in my quad (i rotate quads, glutes and delts), aspirated, injected slowly and pulled out with no blood or pain (i did happen to notice a little jiggle in my quad during injection but no pain)
i always switch pin heads(draw with 23g, inject with 25g)
so, everything was fine all day sunday. monday morning i woke up with a little pain in the injection area but thought nothing of it. as the day went on i noticed more pain and moderate swelling. took some ibuprofen and figured itll pass in a day or so.
tuesday, very noticible pain and inability to really stretch my quad. also a bit more swollen then the day prior. no brusing or redness and not hot to the touch. just very painful and tight. when i walk i can actually feel a foreign substance in my quad...like somethings not right.
its now thursday night and its still pretty painful. quad is still very tight and i can feel hardness inside the quad. pain is greatly enhanced when i try squatting down or stretching my quad or doing a "leg extension" motion. ive tried massaging, heat pads ice and anti inflammatory.
has anyone ever experienced an issue similar to mine or perhaps know what went wrong? any reccomendations? all info is greatly appreciated....

thanks

Common issue... Injection site problem.

You need to seek medical advice if you feel there is an infection...

Other than that, there are a number of issues that cause that

injection not deep enough

the actual muscle feeling worked out prior to the shot

hitting a shot near a nerve

working out post injection

I can keep going

I say wait a few more days...

Personally i get it in the buttox... scared tissue issues.

I would honestly say you est bet would be to stop the cycle. not because you had some injection pain but nyou have already gone 14 weeks i think you have been on long enough. Start your PCT and be happy with the gains you made thus far! Good Lucj=k and I hope my opinion does not seem to pushy it is just my opinion!

thanks for the input bro. i actually squatted heavy and beat the hell out of legs at the gym maybe about an hour after injection. like i said, im glad i dont have any fever, redness or any other infection effect...just feels like i poured cement in my quad lol
one positive note is that i really makes my sweep pop from the inflammation lol but all kidding aside this is the worst issue ive had from a shot. its more annoying than anything.

thanks bro...not pushy at all...
i usually run 16 weeks but i wanted to take this cycle to 20 weeks. this is my first negative from this cycle so hopefully i recover fully without having to see a doc.

Its actually not all that bad...

I used to inject my bies and beat them down...

i believe the streaching of the facia is theory that is well founded...

But you gonna have some pain.
