    'puffed up' injection site

    On one delt. I wouldn't exactly call it swollen, just 'puffy.' To the touch, it is soft, and it isn't painful at all. It's no warmer than anywhere else, and I'm not experiencing any illness. It's been like this for over a week now. It is noticably larger than my other delt, though not huge. It doesn't really feel any different.

    Any idea what it is? Should I worry about using the site for further injections?

    How far are you into the cycle? What other spots have you injected at?

    Is this your fist cycle?

    When you inject into your delts, are you finding it hard to inject, or does it flow out fairly easy?

    How are you rotating on your delts? Are you injecting into the 3 different muscle heads?

    No, not my first cycle. Every cycle, I've always alternated delts. I typically go medial, 1.5 inch up or down from where I injected the previous week. When I pin higher, it is more difficult to inject some times, which i attributed to scar tissue. I used to inject more frequently high. I did not figure 1 mL a week would build up at all, aside form the standard scar tissue.

    If its a soft lump, I would first assume it is just oil that has not dispersed. But since it has been there over a week, thats seems a little odd. I assume you are injecting slowly? Are you massaging the injection site for a little bit afterwards to help with dispersion?

    If it isnt burning, no soreness, then it shouldnt be infected, but, I would keep an eye on it. It may just be scar tissue built up in there too. If it doesnt get better soon, you may just wanna get it checked out.

    Yep, taking all the normal precautions. I was worried that it may be some kind of abcess, but it doesnt appear to be infected by any typical measure. Guess I'll just skip that site for next injection, and see if it gets better in the next week or so.
