    Site infection?

    I inject .2ml of test enanthate 2 x per week. Been doing it for around 2 years now.
    I have a small lump about 1cm raised estimate on my outer thigh where I inject and it hurts to touch.
    There is no discolouration or redness.
    It has been very hot where I live, could this be related? I estimate the storage of the test at 22-25 degrees.

    I have been very lethargic and shaky the past few days. Very nauseous.
    Do I have a site infection?

    I don't think your symptoms are from the little infection, and now and them you'll get them, no biggie, however simply have your doc look at just to be safe.

    Now to your symptoms, have you checked your blood pressure, and have you donated blood recently? have you done blood work to see how are your hemoglobin, rbc and hematocrit levels? if you haven't I bet that's your problem. also how about your e2?

    Thank you Bass.
    My blood pressure is high. 143/69. I am not overweight and pride myself on keeping fit. This is most likely due to my salt and caffeine intake.
    I have never given blood. Should I do so?
    My last blood tests were on the 10/10/13.

    Haemoglobin 160g/L (130-180 range)
    RBC 5.27 (4.5-6.5 range)
    Hematocrit all normal.
    E2: 84 pmol/L (<150)

    I live in Melbourne Australia, will they accept my blood due to TRT?

    no need to donate blood if you levels are good, but allot can happen in 3 months! I'd donate just to be safe, you got nothing to lose. the BP reading is off, I bet you're using a small size cuff. if you have an arm of 15" and larger you need to use a large size cuff.

    Had a sizable infection on the quad from lazy pinning back in June.

    Went to my TRT Doc and he prescribed an antibiotic on the spot.

    Good move on getting BW and thinking about donating.
