Weird Post-Injection Pain
This is my first cycle. I'm running 300mg test cyp/week. I took my third injection in left glute and injected lower on the glute than I probably should have. I felt a lot of pain the following day. MMA/grappling felt extremely painful around the injection site. At night I could barely sleep because every position was uncomfortable. I experienced soreness from the first two injections, but I know that it's normal for a newbie to feel some soreness, so I wasn't too worried.
The next day got worse and I started feeling feverish. At this point, I started getting worried about infection and started keeping a close watch. Pain and swelling started to increase, but there was no edema or other sign of abscess. The swelling covered a broad area--the whole outside of my glute and extending into my outer thigh.
By the fourth day, swelling and pain had increased more, I still had fever coming and going, and now there was redness surrounding the injection site. I freaked out and went to a clinic and told the PA I had a bad B12 shot in Tijuana. She examined, determined there was no abscess, and prescribed doxycyclene.
It's now day 6 from the last injection and 3 days into the course of antibiotics. I'm feeling much better. Fever is gone, pain around injection site is noticeably reduced, and mobility has returned. There is still a lot of swelling in the butt/hip area, but it seems like things are improving and I'm probably not going to die this week.
What went wrong? If it was an infection, why did I not have an abscess around the injection site? There is a lot of flu going around my office. Could it have been a coincidence that my body reacted to weird location of the injection and caught a flu at the same time?
Thanks in advance for helping out a newb.
