abcess? please help!!!!

[jcurse]

I apologize if I'm going about this the wrong way, but I was kind of worried and just needed to ask someone ,first my stats are age: 36 second time using, first time injecting, tried a cycle in high school, and have been natural ever since, but this jan. I had rotator cuff surgery and was having trouble getting strength back, I found a source in the most unlikely place,one I could trust, and who also talked me out of orals , long story short I'm in my fourth week of deca and my last injection has left a lump on my thigh between medial and lateral muscle , it looks like another muscle in between , it doesnt hurt but its freakin me out , does an abcess have to hurt , turn red , hot , or can it be just a lump , I did jab myself three times b4 I injected in the same general area, I am also using a 22 g pin 1" my legs are so thin after two knee surgeries that I was afraid to go with the 1 1/2 also it was 2 ccs any help would be greatly appreciated, I did do some searching thru the site but didnt find any useful info thanks again

I abcessed on a quad inj. once. It was a miserable, non forgetable experience.

Knot or lumps go away with time but when it does not but rather gets larger and hotter to touch, you may have an abcess.

If you cant stand the thought of LONG walk to the bathroom and would rather piss on your self, you may have an abcess.

if you start to see red around the area with red line running down your leg, you may have an abcess.

If when you do go to the Doc and he tells you "Dont Leave" you may have an abcess.

if when they lance what looks like the worlds biggest zit on your leg and enough puss drains out to fill a dogs water bowl BEFORE they start to squeeze the zit, you likely have had your first and hopefully only abcess.

Keep an eye on it and if any of the above apprear, go to the Doc!!
