swollen (infected?) muscle

[Vullfromsc]

i pinned chest with a 1" 25g pin, went about half way in and shot .5ml

about 4 days after this, my chest is still awkwardly swollen and very firm in the larger area around where i pinned at. it is sore when i apply pressure to my chest or stretch it, but it is not red, itchy, bruised at all.

any thoughts? i really don't think it's infected, but i have never had a reaction like this to any muscle on my body (have pinned many, many times)

on a side note, i pinned test 450 blend.. very thick shit. think this might have had something to do with it?

thanks

anyone?

Sounds like maybe you injected to fast maybe. This happened to me in my delt before. Try massaging the area and if this does not work I did push-ups to work the compound into the tissues. I did some at home and during my breaks at work and this worked well for me.

I have had the same thing happen. It took about 10 days for the lump to go away.

[Vullfromsc]

is there anything you guys think i should do for the swelling? just ice massage? there is a shit load of fluid in my pec right now. i started taking bactrim (2x 480mg) every day incase..

If it is thick oil that has not dispersed you could try applying heat and massage the area lightly to encourage the substance to disperse.

Sounds like you just didn't get it deep enough. Anything with that much solvent shot sub-Q (or even just shallow IM) will cause some serious swelling.

I think you have a lump of 'test in your chest' (sorry) seriously though I hate these damn high concentration compounds, figure by volume that crap is about half powder. Its bad enough if you are dealing with stricly Test E where the melting point is very low, but when you have a combination of esters its so easy for some of the higher melting point esters (prop, phenylprop and acetate) to come out of solution in the injection depot and form a lump like you have.

At this point as said probably the best thing to do would be to add heat ( To make a homemade heatpad, take a hand towel and soak it and place it inside a few layers of ziplock baggies and microwave it) to the area to encourage its absorption and maybe massage gently if there is no pain. I did this on prop lump, I had to heat the pak to a temp that I could barely stand and reaheat and reappply every few minute for a half hour once ever couple of hours but it did work after a few days.

Oh by the way take the rest of that crap and add some EO to it.



Good luck,

Yeah I have had this happen before and I would say heat not cold would do more for it.
Still keep an eye on it.

[autoenthused]

never cold, just makes fibers and vesels contract. apply heat from both ends. externally from heat source, and internally from stretching and massage. push ups are an interesting idea but i have never tried that.

Can anyone give me a logical explanation as to why people feel its necessary to site inject AAS vs. sticking Delts & glutes only?

[terraj]

I would go to the arse for something called 450 blend bro....Lol sounds painful.

wmaousley, I don't think the OP is doing site injections, I find pec shots one of the best sites....Pulp Fiction style baby!

sound crazy 2 me.
