OK, now I'm freaking out.... I had a double infection a few weeks back when injecting into my delts. I was on a cycle using Hulk gear. It ended in Accute Cellulitis and antibiotics cleared it up with a week. Fast forward to yesterday and I'm now using Pharm-grade prescription gear for TRT. I switched from IM injections to Sub-Q after the infection and stopping my blast.
I injected yesterday morning and while I was injecting the oil it was burning pretty badly going into my body. Right afterwards it was burning pretty bad and continued for the rest of the day. You can feel the bump where the oil is which is fairly normal in my experience. Now today it's red, warm to the touch etc. I outlined the area 6 hours ago and the redness is spreading so I'm assuming infection. Going to my Dr. in the AM to see for sure.
Anyways, what could be causing this? The only variable I've had has been the needle tips. I'm super careful and sterile when I inject. I shower first, then use alcohol on the area being injected and on top of the vial. (I use 2 separate wipes) Then, I use one needle tip to draw and a new one to inject. Is it possible to have non-sterile needle tips? These are new tips that I just started using and this is the only same variable in this problem. Is it possible that these needles are somehow contaminated or do you think it's something else???
So frustrated and confused. Please help!!!!
