The best answer to this question is going to come from a doctor...If you think you have an infection, get to the clinic. Don't try and second guess or do self-diagnosis on yourself. Don't self-medicate yourself either if you think you have an infection.
I don't think your health is something to be toying around with when it comes to infection.
Get to a doctor if you think you have an infection bro.
This is the only advice I can give you.
Good luck,

depends on what kind of infection read and pick and choose.
WHY IS THIS MEDICATION PRESCRIBED?
Cefuroxime is an antibiotic in a class of drugs called cephalosporins. This medicine fights bacteria in the body.
Cefuroxime is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections such as bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, ear infections, skin infections, gonorrhea, and urinary tract infection

Doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections, including pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections; lyme disease; acne; infections of skin, genital, and urinary systems; and anthrax (after inhalational exposure). It is also used to prevent malaria. Doxycycline is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. It works by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infection

Erythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as bronchitis; diphtheria; Legionnaires' disease; pertussis (whooping cough); pneumonia; rheumatic fever; venereal disease (VD); and ear, intestine, lung, urinary tract, and skin infections.

Yea I want to see what my doc says and if he prescribes one of these or somethign simialr, I am going to buy them so I wont have to try to make up a story to go and get another prescription, they are cheap too.
Senior Member
I 'self administer', lol, erythromycin and it's sickly powerful.
My cousing had an infection (as far as we know, red swollen hot for 6 days) and I gave him some. He took it for 10 days at a high dose and it went away.
Anabolic Member
To each his own...
I guess I take my health serious enough that if I think I've succumb to infection, I'd rather not take things into my own hands.

yeah
I'll second that........

BUMP!

The best advice has already been given, however, I can tell you that doxycycline and tetracycline are probably not what you want.
...well, unless you start breaking out....
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
You guys come on, you won't advise using antibiotics but you inject steroids don't you ? Kinda hypocritical don't ya think ? If I can use steroids safely, I would think antibiotics wouldn't be much harder.
Thanks though you guys, really, I always appreciate your input.
Member
What's the matter with you Bro? You just can't pick an antibiotic as if you're in a candy store. Infections come in all kinds of sizes and shapes and need to be diagnosed by testing. It depends on if the infection is localized, or if it got into the blood stream, whether it is MRSA, or MSSA, or any number of other factors. Truthfully speaking, you'll regret it if it gets into an organ because you were too casual about it. Chances are you may have a relatively benign infection, if you have one at all, or you could have a serious one that gets into your heart cavity, or other organ and gives you really serious problems. Why do you want to mess around with this? Are you serious?
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Well you straightened my ass out lol.
I didn't think there was that many things to take into consideration when using antibiotics.
Anyway, I'm goin to the doc on monday but if I feel better I will not be. I'll see what he has to say then if I go, if not, it wasn't an infection and I will know this if it happens again so I can chill out.

keflex

IMO for IM-infection:
Doxytap, 3 times a day, each tap 100 mg
Keflex, 4 times a day, each pill 250 mg
They have been used for two friends of mine, both with abcess, different doc.
Member
Doxycylcine?!?!
Don't take Keflex if you are allergic to Penicillin as it can cause you problems.
Doxycycline is a good Antibiotic, it's quite often used against Malaria & STD's but does cause photosensitivity.
Take god care in picking your antibiotics, the wrong choice could make things worse!!

I was researching skin infections and abcesses caused by injections, it seems that amoxicillin is commonly prescribed to people for these problems @ 500mg every 8hrs or 875mg every 12 hrs mostly. I have taken amoxicillin before for a nasal infection and have some left over from my GF who had it recently.

i can help u with what u want.. but what was ur situation? do u have a injection site problem? or u just think u are getting sick.. cause if so then I gotta saya that just go to the doc.. cause the need of AB has to be decided and also what kind to take.. but if u have a injection site problem then i suggest the cephalosporin.. in general i dont approve self prescribed AB use but there are exceptions.. btw I will be able to prescribe them to patients next summer so I know a little but atleast what im talking about..
Anabolic Member
do u have enough left for a whole course?
Member
Yup quite important to run the full course, some infections are only susceptable to AB at certain points in their lives. So you have to run the full course to catch the infection in all stages of life!
Good advice hippo

I have 500ml of it @ 150mg/ml I believe, I will have to double check when I get home and before I take any if I do.
Here are my symptoms:
leg pain from boldenone propionate injection, day 5 now
Boldenone was 100mg/ml 2% BA 20% BB and I shot 1ml in my quad
It is slightly swollen but tight would be a better word to describe the pain site
the pain isnt even where I actually injected, its below it
it is not red as far as I can tell or noticeably warm to the touch either.
Heat and ice make it feel better
Member
Any fever?? sweating?? fatigue??
You could be suffering from microtears in the msucle mass?? Scar healing tissue within the muscle will make the area tight, heat 7 ice both taking pain away is normal for that type of injury too!!
Jay
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
No sweats or anything, no fatigue, I was just sick as hell the night I took the shot but I assume that was from the boldenone itself. I feel fine now.
So describe what you think it could be exactly please ..........
Member
(Bear in mind I'm not a qualified medic......)
Usually a deep infection (as you stated no show on skin surface) which is usually IM would be accompanied by further symptoms, eg nausea, fatigue, sweating or fever. Fever being the most common sign of an infction, this is your bodies response to the infection, an increased core temperature makes the bacteria easier to kill!!
As you said you've had nothing except from the sickness on the 1st night which isn't uncommon for boldenone. If the only symptoms you're having now are muscle soreness/tightness I'd be looking towards the muscle itself as the cause!!
Tiny tears in the muscle fibre or microtrauma, can cause stiffness and soreness as your body works to repair this physical damage. This could be caused by improper stretching, poor form when lifting or even cramping of muscle fibres during a lift which you've pushed through and caused damage. The body forms scar tissue around an injury, this tissue is very inflexible and would appear to you as tightnes in the affected muscle.
Obviously a Doc would need to confirm this, but I'd be looking for an injury like this to e healing within a wek to 10 days with very light stretching of the affected muscle group and not doing any strenuous exercise on that muscle group!!
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Stretching does make it feel better, I have to do it little by litte then it feel better for a short time.
But I do not see how this wouldnt be attributed to the injection and therfore t wouldnt make much sense that an injection caused this. ???
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Yea stretching maeks a little difference, not huge but if done caerfully it makes it feel a little bit better for a minute.
Member
It could be an ifection, just from what you've said it doesn't soun like an infection to me!!
It is possible that the injection has caused damage itself, did you hit a nerve etc etc etc But that would be a remote possibility I think.
How sure are you that you haven't picked up a training injury??
The best course of action is going to be to see a Doc as you are unsure!!
Jay
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
I havent lifted for almsot 3 months now because of my shoulder injury then the surgery for that injury and the rehab up til now.
But yea well see what the doc says tomorrow.
Member
Hmmm, would be a little odd having not trained for 3 months but you never know!!
Could be a sneaky infection, this is what Docs are paid to diagnose though and I reckon you've done the best thing in going to see a professional!!
Jay
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Yea it just sucks that I haev to go to "Urgent care" and get reamed $150. for it
yeah
Skull why are you starting a cycle if you havent lifted in three month's?
Member
Yea it just sucks that I haev to go to "Urgent care" and get reamed $150. for it
That does suck!!
Here in the UK medical care is free
well, i say free but i suppose we pay for it from tax etc!!
It's up to you mate, personally i'd hold out till i at least had fever, fatigue, nausea. And i'd be doing light stretches 8 times a day. But that's me!!

it sure does not sound like an infection... If I was u I would save the 150 bucks and just wait.. or how man days has it been since the injection? is it getting better? I would do what JAy suggests also..
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
It seems like today, it ahs gotten a little bit better. I got some extra cash though so Im goin to the doc too.
Anabolic Member
yeah better safe than sorry.. u rich americans =) .... 150 bucks... that over third of my monthly income =) .. im a student though but still heheheheheh
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Holy shit!! that is like a 30th of my income!!
How the hell do you afford steroids!!!??
**** school
Anabolic Member
This does not bear signs of an infection...I think you're over-reacting.
I noticed you stated in a later post that it seems to be getting better. If you had an infection, things would not be getting better, but instead, they would be getting worse, as all the symptoms stated in this thread about possible signs of infection do not appear to be present and you seem to be improving as well.
Doesn't sound like I would want to waste $150 for a doctors visit if it isn't necessary.
I say give it another day or so and if things continue to improve, I'd say it's safe to say you're in the clear as far as any infection goes.
