    Another Injection Problem...

    I shot in my left delt on Thursday and about 1 inch below the area of injection has been red for the past 2 days. I feel a lil bump in the area and the redness is diffused with a diameter of 2.5 inches. I injected test e 250mg and this is my 3rd week. don't have a fever. the redness does not seem to be going away. worried...I did use asceptic technique...swabbed bottle...switched needles and swabbed injection site...always aspirate. thanks bros!

    Watch for a fever, and watch for the site to start to get real heated. If you start seeing these things, you may want to hit the doc. If not, don't worry about it. Just some inflamation. Keep an eye on it and just make sure that it isn't getting a lot bigger. It should be staying the same size or getting smaller.

    the area is warm but not hot! pain in the center when i press on it or when i flex my arm. how long does inflammation usually last? should i take an antihistamine?

    Sounds more like an inflamation to me. Inflamations can last up to a week. Just watch to see if it is spreading and if the area is getting a lot bigger.

    no, not yet fortunately, but it'd be nice if we had access to antibiotics (without scripts) should this problem occur

    I've had a similar experience...but in my glute. Was damn uncomfortable and had difficulty to sit down.

    Luckily for me it did go away after 5 or 6 days and since then I have started to rotate injection sites all over the body -> glutes, delts, calves, quads, even in the pecs.

    Like they have said above all you can do is play the waiting game. It doesn't sound too serious but you should keep a very close eye on it.

    Give it a few days. If it worsens, go see a doctor immediately. Just keep an eye on it for the next 2-3 days.

    The redness is still present. Same amount as before. Maybe a little less but an inch below where I injected is looking like it is bruised (as if someone punched me there) Redness diffuse around the area and about an inch that is a darker red...almost like a bruise. My pain is not really present...only when i press on that area. any ideas? thanks bros!
