I have a abcess right above my left bicep. I shot into my left delt last Wednesday. Monday rolled around and I got this lump that started swelling little by little. I talked to a buddy of mine who had the same problem before. I took his advice and went in to the E.R. they asked how it happened I told them I wasn't sure because I am going through insurance and nowadays you gotta cover your ass. The Doc made a few incisions and drained the puss out right now I got this cotton dressing inside my arm soaking up the majority of the puss. This sucks. I wish this upon nobody. And Yes, I wiped the spot with rubbing alcholol before and after I was injecting Test-E.
