Need advice please. i think ive injected and hit my lymphatic system

[Steve.O]

Hey guys. Well at this moment in time my left leg is killing me. Its very swollen and puffed up. Ive injected testosterone into my vastus lateralis (outer thigh fairly high up). And 4 days later my quad is hurting bad. I have hardly no range of motion with it. Anyway the most pain and swelling has gone to my knee about 10 inches away from injection site. Its a little red. So ive lookd it up and my symptoms seem to be that of hitting the lymphatic system. Thing is im worried because its been 4 days and very much in pain with it. Har any1 experienced this and can give advice plz thnx steve.o

[haterade]

my advise would be go c a doctor

[Steve.O]

Well i know its better to be safe then sorry but im trying not overthink the situation and panick myself. Dont get me wrong its painful but if it was an infection wouldnt it be realy sore at the injection site and not 9-10 inches away. Ive read it takes longer for the steroid to dissipitate if injected into lymphatic system hence why it may last so long. Realy hope someone knowledgable comes along. Thnx steve.o

I've had this happen a bunch of times.
Nothing to do with your lymphatic system.
The oil just didn't stay in the muscle, so gravity carried it down the limb between the muscle and myofascial sheath, where it crashed and caused a bunch of inflammation.

I agree, I did it a week before my vacation and was limping for the whole week. Took about two weeks for complete recovery. I (like a moron) injected much higher than usual on my thigh and think I pushed trough the muscle. The pain ended up under my leg as if the injection seeped down and just sat there. It will go away, next time make sure u go deep enough or don't go through the muscle.

[Steve.O]

Hmm.... Wel approximatley my last 4 injections i havnt gone quite as deep into the muscle maybe 3/4 an inch i always aspirate ofcourse. But maybe this couldve been the cause? Is deeper into the muscle the better. Only reason i stopped going in as deep was because im a fair bit leaner then b4 and tbh i thought it would lessen muscle trauma and my injections would bo a doddle. Maybe i was way off on this part lol? Cheers for reply bon

Would the gear have been wasted if it didnt make it into the muscle?

[Schwarzenegger]

def didnt hit ur lymphatic system. I had the same thing happen in my calf. Your symptoms are mediated by an inflammatory response to the gear based on where/depth of injection and if ur muscles retained it or not. I hit the hospital when it happened cuz shit didnt go away for a week and they did an ultrasound and put me on antibiotics to be safe.

i would be less worried bout the amount of gear in ur system and more about extinguishing the inflammatory response properly and safely. hit up a doc to be safe

[gonebluffn]

No the gear would not be wasted .Try taking an anti inflamatory I use 800 mg ibuprofen 3x a day

You didn't inject into your lymph system, and I still would not rule out infection. Puss and bacteria can drain down. If it gets any worse, My advice would be to see a doctor. But in the mean time, keep it elevated, take NSAID's, and monitor yourself for fever.

[Steve.O]

Another day passes and swelling and pain is pretty much the same. Im taking ibuprofen and and painkillers mayb i should seek doctors advice and get some medication. Or should i wait it out? 5days since injection

[binsser]

no docs now m8 stop waiting bud!

Calm down. He's probably fine. If I ran to the doc every time this happened, I'd have a blow like a grand on medical bills and would never be able to get health insurance coverage in the US.

what kind of test are you using? i have p.i.p. everytime i've pinned with the prop i'm using. cripples me every 3 days unless i do glutes. quads, i limp around for 3 days. i find massaging the muscle after injection, shower before pin, heating pad, and stretching helps lessen the negative effects. it doesn't fix the prob immediately, but it helps manage the pain a little better. could be a couple of reasons why it hurts. body could possibly rejecting the type of oil, high alcohol concentration, too many mls per inj, or infection if its warm to the touch and red.

[Steve.O]

The swelling has gone alot harder. Before it was like a puffy swelling. That a good or bad sign? Guess il see what tmorrow brings. Thnx for replies guys steve.o
