Possible Injection Problem?

[PushHardNow]

Hey guys,

I went with your suggestion for doing test only.
My first one in the tricep went OK I guess. It was swollen and sore for 2 days but after that, went away and is now perfectly normal.

I did my glute for this one and I am worried there might be a problem. I dont think I went deep enough and now there is a little red ring around the injection site and its slighty swollen. I pinned around 16 hours ago, should I worry? Anything I can do aside from keeping an eye on it?

I could snap a picture if it would help. =)

if its not accomponied by fever or the depot being hot to the touch i think you'll be fine you can try iceing the site to see if the swelling goes down
what size pin did you use-glutes 1.5" 23g is pretty much the standard

I used a 1" 23g

Guess I should get somethign to check my temp.

get some 1.5" for glutes use the 1" for quads or delts. try massaging the site to disperse the oil and you can use heat for the soreness if any and ice to try and minimize the swelling

Thanks man. How many days should I give it before I get checked out if its still red?

It looks like more of a bruise than redness. Now sure if thats better or worse. I bruise really easily.

ok, if its not hot to the touch or you have no chills or fever it doesn't seem to be infected, give it a day or so for the swelling, the bruise may take longer
