Delt Injection now Swollen lump

**Godzhand** · 05-01-2012, 09:47 AM

I did my first Delt shot into my right arm I usually use my glutes but I need to start rotating.

I did 1.5ML of Test E the next morning I had a large lump kind of going down beside my bicept.

A Day later my bicept seemed really swollen on the side and I could see redness all over it so I put a heating pad on it for the night and started taking my Antibiotics I have on hand.

The next morning I wake up and hurts to even try opening my arm all the way bicept is still red looking. I cleaned the area of the lump on my delt I felt around it and found the softest feeling spot pinned it pushed it all the way in and pulled back on the syringe and about half a ml of white fluid came out. I stuck myself in 2 diff places to make sure I got all of it then within 5mins my arm was literally feeling 5x better.

It's been about 6hours since I did that and the lump is starting to do down the redness is still there but it feels a lot better.

Anyone have an suggestions? I think I cought it at a good time and it's starting to heal back up. I honestly do not know how I got the abcess I'm very careful when pinning I take a hot shower clean myself really good, I clean the area really good with an alcohol pad, I always use new needles and always clean my bottles with alcohol as well as I wipe the needle tip with alcohol and wash my hands for 5mins straight. 0_o

i would go to the dr and get anti botics. There is no way you got everything and you def have an infection

I got Antibiotics from the Dr. I told them I had a tooth Infection.

I told them I have a tooth infection and it's starting to spread because I had one previously that did that and the bacteria got into my blood stream so they have me 10days of Amoxicillin 500mg 3x day

Your right though I know I can't suck it all out but I stuck myself with about 10 diff needles in diff places on the lump and I did get a lot of white fluid prob about 2ml all together. I'm taking the antibiotics as told it does seem to be getting better although if it does change I will be at the doctor asap to have them take care of it.

Turned out to be Cellulitis it's almost completely gone the antibiotics I started taking and the fact that I sucked out a lot of the infection slowed it down. They had to give me stronger antibiotics via IV and oral for 10days but the cellulitis is almost gone now prob 2 maybe 3 more days and I will be back in the gym. I can't lift until it's gone it can cause it to spread they said.
