Severe Infection

[cforn]

I took 2 cc's of Test E in my left Glute on Thursday. The redness and swelling has gotten progressively worse. The swelling is now spreading into my lower back and thigh. What should I do.

[SHAGGY]

I would suggest immediatly going to a doctor. What do you mean exactly by swelling, and how is it spreading??

[cforn]

Inflamation and tightness

[BajanBastard]

Yeah that sounds like an infection, how are you feeling? In any case get to the doc.

[*Alex*]

sounds like its antibiotics time!

[cforn]

What would he put me on.

[cforn]

I'm on penacilin right now. Started it last night.

[SHAGGY]

Most probably some antibiotic and some anti inflammatory medicine; But I strongly suggest not waiting it out and self administrating, with your symptoms you should really visit the doc as soon as possible, he will advise(sp??) you on what to do and he will asses the situation correctly.

Hope I helped.

don't mess with an infection!!! go to the hospital...

[BajanBastard]

Umm you know an infection could cause you to lose a limb or die right? I should be the last to talk because i drained my own abscess, but seriously go to the doc.

[cforn]

This blows. Damn

[cforn]

The emergency room is the only thing open right now. What do I tell them happened.

[BADASS323]

what really blows is not treating an infection properly!! bro. go to the doc and get it treated.let us know how it went.

[cforn]

What the hell do I tell the doctor at the emergency room.

[BADASS323]

try this----B12 INJECTION

[SHAGGY]

I remember one guy a while back said that he had sat on a pin in the dressing room in a store. Doesn't really matter though, I would personally level with them, if I am not mistaken they are forced to help you and they are not allowed to disclose any of your information to others. Either way get it looked at as soon as possible.

what are symptoms of an infection. dont u get sick ? color ? I have a similar problem, on friday i injected test e in my left quad. my whole knee is swelled up and went down to my calf which is larger now. it's red and warm, is it an infection or just maybe cause the gear stings no matter where i put it. just getting scared cause its going on 6 days and i stilll cant walk on it, im hurtin at work, can't walk on it.

[stupidhippo]

its time to see a doc manz..

[ManzNumero1]

u think so . it is fat as hell. i can push on the swelling and it leaves a finger mark where i press in it . like pushing on foam. u sure it's just not the gear . cause it does sting when i do it in the glutes. first time in the quad. ???

[Cornholio]

Tell him B12.

This always scares the crap out of me.

[ManzNumero1]

i just don't wanna go if i don't have to. anyone ever have this problem. im hoping a day or 2 it will go away ??? this thread scared me .

[BADASS323]

the odds that an infection(if thats what you have)will just go away on its own are not in your favor.you may be taking chances with your health that you will regret.see a doc.,that you wont regret.gauranteed

No you don't always get sick with infections. Swelling or puffyness ( think blister without the fluid ) redness with a feeling tender to the touch. There are many levels of infection. Most of us healthy horses fight small infections everyday with little to no probs ( zits, insect bites, cuts we don't clean as well we prob should, even injections such as T3 or sus will aggrivate our muscle tissue and create infection ) but because we take vitamins ( b12 etc ) we heal fairly quick. Realize everyone is diff and yes check on your stuff , FAKES= can be made of anything and have known a*holes who put milk in winny bottles and sold it.. talk about DEADLY!.. and was the dart a first time punch or reused all of this needs to thought about. Beyond the fact dude, you could be allergic to the compound you shot... Other then that Dr. is a must if it's traveling other then the smallest area of where you shot.

[ManzNumero1]

thanks. i hear ya. i been shooting it in the quads for 9 weeks now , its sore for a couple days. but it was the first time i ever shot in my quad. can that be a possibility of why its so sore and swollen ? the fact that it is virgin muscle?

[ManzNumero1]

sorry i meant glutes for 9 weeks *

[*Alex*]

ok.......

[boxingbean]

naw i had same problem
My glute injection went wrong and inflamed and spread to my outer thigh and hip....hurt REEEAL bad, but dont worry, just live it out....2 wks tops....i missed work but if u cant miss...go to doctor and get a note...

the only thing they can maybe do is drain it...but i just kicked it on a couch for a week or 2...sux..painkillers tho man...sleep alot...warm it up with hot towel then immediately put ice on it...helps

[boxingbean]

i used quad quite often...if ur doin toward front, try the side and shouldnt give u much soreness...just dont put over 2ccs

[ManzNumero1]

thanks. thats what i wanna hear. yea passed 2 days i stayed layin' down. try and get up and its the worst pain, had to tell everyone in the house that i bruised it. what do u mean by went wrong? i did go lower outside of the quad. but thats what im hopin for , just to suck it up . 2 weeks. damn. i dont think i can do a quad shot again with this gear after doing this to myself.

Hey bud,

It might not even be an infection. Does the injection spot feel mushy and hot to the touch? It could be the oil...if there is a high benzyl alcohol content in the oil it will some times cause infection like symptoms. Look up my handle and you'll find a thread about my problems with the same thing from my first cycle. The symptoms take 1-2 weeks to completely pass. Unless you switch to a different test you're going to continue to get them. Sometimes you will, sometimes you won't.

Mind if I ask what brand gear you're using? I was using BD test E. and know of a couple of other people (who PM'd me on the boards) who had similar problems with their test.

[Cornholio]

Don't wait it out. Go see the doc and get it fixed.

[Mesomorphyl]

I would suggest immediatly going to a doctor.

Nice, quick, and to the point. I agree, seek medical attention.

Yea bro same test. high in BA content. i just searched some similar situations and it seems that its just that i put two much of such a high content ba level into the quad. and it was my first quad shot in 2 years. im gonna wait it out as i saw 4-8 days. it is day 5 and still bad. we'll see what happens by day 8 .

[BADASS323]

you asked for advice.i must say waiting for one person to give you the advice you WANT to hear insted of listening to many who are giving you sound,quality advice may result in anything up to an amputation!!! so you wait two weeks to posabbly find out the infection has spread to other parts of your body? possably vital organs?! doctors are in the business to help,cops are in the business too arrest.go to the hospital not the cop shop.what exactly are you affaid of?

BADASS IS CORRECT (you just can't shop for a answer you want to hear)
Turn off your computer go to Doc or Hosp and tell them the truth. They
will know any way. Bacteria can double every 20 minutes. Sorry! hope
you get well soon.

[ManzNumero1]

no i appreciate the advice. right now i don't have insurance , just got a new job. If i can wait at least 4 more days which others have said work than i will. If it continues after a couple more days than i will take the others advice and hit the doc up.
thanks again.

[boxingbean]

i dont have, nor did i have when i had that problem, mine was puffy, red, swollen, mushy and hot to the touch, i just waited

[boxingbean]

by went wrong...i meant, well not wrong i guess, but that happend! so i assume i did sumthin wrong like in ject in fat, but i assume if it was in the fat, it would just take my body longer to absorb then cause that...

BUt it was a bottle of dec that was givin me probs everywhere i shot...god dam kangaroo, never again...QV for dec from now on
