Possible infection trip to ER, week 6 keep going?

[Kristofer68ss]

Okay heres how it went down.

250mg Test E

Monday 8pm Leg shot, outer left thigh...first time shooting outer thigh.
Monday nite leg hurt woke me up, but still got sleep
Tuesday Leg was cripple, couldnt bend. Fever and Flu like symptom.s
Wednesday no fever, range of motion coming back,knee swollen.
Thursday I used an infared thermometer. Legs were 6 degrees F different in temp, swelling was worse around knee. Small Light red patch 1 inch lower than injection site. NO FEVER.

Thursday nite anxiety kicked in, went to ER. Told them B12injection, that i took a shower, washed area, prepped area, aspirated, fresh needle/syringe..blah blah. which is ALL true, sides the B12.

She gave ma a tetnis(sp) shot and another shot in my glute to start fighting the infection. Also a script for 10 days of keflex. The paper work said cellutitis? infection.

Leg feels a bit better today, still sore, but i am fine. NO FEVER. SLight headache though since monday shot.


Anyway, the question of the year is..............should I stop cycle and go into PCT or keep dosing and ride it out and see what happens.

This gear is gone and got a fresh batch.

I have searched, but i really need advice from guys who have had this experience.

Thanks! I can take pm's too.

Personal decision bud. It's your health, not mine.

[magic32]

Assuming this was your very first injection with this gear (not documented), and that you trust the source, try a new injection site (not the other thigh) to see if you have the same/similar problems. If yes, ditch it and the source. If not enjoy.

[Knoxston]

agree with magic 32 u should try to use the same injection site that u have always used see if it happens mite be a reaction to the gear in a new spot but mite not be...

[lex57]

i have a question. are you running test e only? and if so why are you doing quad injections? if were you i would just hit the glutes twice a week. that is assuming you're just running test e and shooting twice a week. what size pins are you using also? maybe you're not deep enough if its a 5/8....

[WEBB]

what is wrong with quad injections if he is only running test e.....

[Kristofer68ss]

Initial title. 6 weeks in.

Dbol kickstart(running along side test)
Test E. 500mg EW.

First time going outer quad. I usually shoot more in the middle of the quad. I have been rotating LQ, LD, RQ, RD. Today, knee is still swollen, light pinkish, still swollen to knee....... I have been working 9 hours a day.Since monday, on my feet.........I have had the swollen knee before, but not the inflammation and heat. The swollen knee usually subsides by day 3. I am keeping an eye on fever. my temp last night was 97.5, i usually run 97.1 +/-

I ditched the gear in question.

I dont know, I am thinking of jumping off, going into pct, break for 6 weeks then jump back on and do another cycle.

A little scared here guys, I hope it all clears up soon. I dont want to lose my leg, or get blood poisoning.

I could be a little over zealous here, but i never responded like this to any shot in the last 6 weeks.

Ill be back on tonight for more advice. Thank you guys.

I wouldn't sweat it yet.....Signs you speak of can be very common BA' poisoning symptoms. There are some labs out there putting 5+% BA in their oils, and it pretty much cripples my legs too. Unless you see the exact insertion point of the needle becoming dis-coloured and opening....I wouldn't worry too much. If the area is hot to touch, this could just be a BA burn from the product.
Test Flu happens to me sometimes, but only when i let myself get run-down. Maybe you were run down when all this happened???


I am also a little confused as to why you want to jump into a PCT term when only using a simple D-bol/Test cycle....
Were you experiencing side effects?

Again....Just my opinion...There is an obvious need for PCT in most cases...

P.S.

Did you aspirate before injecting?.....I have gotten flu like symptoms from injecting into a vien before.....unlikely...but.....

[gixxerboy1]

Infections do happen., You have been on for 6 weeks and had 1 bad shot. I wouldnt stop because of that. If you were having an issue every time then thats different

[lex57]

what is wrong with quad injections if he is only running test e.....

i just get the least amount of problems (i.e. any soreness) it seems from my glutes. so i was just saying that if he is not rotating sites then just hit the glutes thats all.

its up to u bro...personally, i think i'll still shoot up haha. But be very careful bro. Try shooting up in the delts (25 gauge 5/8) and glutes more often. It's safer than shooting up in the thigh IMO

[Kristofer68ss]

First and foremost.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS.

Okay here goes. still NO FEVER Best i can tell(will check again in another hour). I used a non contact thermometer today. LQ 92 RQ 88 F. I still have an appetite. There is a knot around about an inch away from the injection site. It is sore to the touch and can feel the pain in that area. I have roughly 95% unloaded range of motion. But i cannot squat down to the ground.

I took some pictures, but am unsure how to load them.

Also, I got two shots last nite.

Some kind of "Rthcyin"? in my right glute last nite and also a tetnis shot in my right deltoid.

I am taking 500mg Keflax, 4xED.

I just cant afford another injection to go wrong. I was due to shoot this morning, Would it be okay if i wait another 48 hours(if all goes well) and then shoot sust for a couple shots(fast esters) then jump back on test e.


I would like to upload pictures, i will try right now.

Is my vagina sandy or do i have legitimate concern. I have never responded this way in six weeks. it is a new site though.

will my scripts effect anything?

Ps the scar on my right leg is from my brother running me over with a ford ranger 10 years ago......It got infected, doc said i could have lost the leg. So i am a bit gun shy on infections.

outside of the major inner artery, why is the quad any better or worse to choose as an injection site.

I am honestly curious, i have done many searches. Some people can do quad shots, some cant.

jury is still out here.

[TheSentinal]

What are we looking for in your pics bro? It is hard to see. Is it your left leg near the knee?

[batfink0]

Looks like nothing but BA poisoning....

Maybe you pushed through a nerve too

[Kristofer68ss]

yes it is the left leg and its swollen to knee.

I just took a hot shower and massaged the shit out of it. range of motion 95% or better.

I just bought thermometer at walgreens. Temp was 97.0

Maybe it is just BA poisoning, or nerve damage, all i know is Tuesday it had me crippled.

I guess i should search on here for pics of Infection or abcess.

[Kristofer68ss]

Woke this morning, more swelling gone. No redness to speak of.

Still a nice painful knot about an inch in diameter.

Maybe I overreacted.

Best to play it safe i guess.

Maybe it was trying to get infected and between my body fighting it and the meds it went away. All i know is I have NEVER experienced a shot like the one monday nite. Self administered or otherwise...........None.

If what you described in your first post was an infection..then i've had 100's of them over the years. That actually sounds normal for a thigh shot, especially if you hit a nerve. I hit a nerve\vein almost everytime i do quad shots and get the exact same symptoms.

[Serotonin]

Kris, cellulitis can occur at any given time and does happen frequently in hair follicles and sweat glands. I got one in my armpit for no reason at all... just woke up one day and in 12 short shours my armpit became very inflamed and painful. I too was on Keflex and it took care of it very fast.

You look like a pretty hairy dude too so PERHAPS... and this is just speculation, but try injecting into a less hairy site and press firmly with the alcohol swab and wipe in a circular motion while slowly moving the swab outward. It sounds to me this was more like a fluke than anything else and if I were you I would stay on the sauce but just use a different injection point.

GL man!

[Kristofer68ss]

Well I decided to stay on. Took 250mg shot in left delt this morning.

Swelling is back, i think mainly because i cannot stay off my feet. It is a knot in the muscle, no redness to speak of to it. I can walk on it and bend it but there is real pain there.

This is nothing that i have ever experienced in the last 6 weeks.

So i am rollin with it. Staying off the leg tonight. Going to try and get a solid 12 hours sleep.

Once again guys, THANKS ALOT. All the input is very appreciated!

I will keep updating my progress.

What can i do to get my leg to heal faster?

oh yeah..........can i use 25gx1" for glutes? Or should i say. Who uses 1' pins for the glute? I got a glute shot thursday nite and the needle wasnt that long.

I know the rec'd pin is 1.5".......Guess i am going to walgreens this weekend. Until this leg comes back to normal i am shooting elswhere.(no quads)

[Kristofer68ss]

leg is alot better. Not sure if time did it, massaging it, the meds or what. But i am glad that its better.

I have never been crippled like that from a shot. Son of bitch.

None of my quad shots ever felt like that. EVER.

Boughts some 1.5" pins today. Time to start searching for the best way to administer a glute shot.

Thanks for all the help and advice guys!

Is the time frame of said symptoms, duration and recovery about the same? I am on target to be fully recovered at day 7 or day 8 post injection.

[Kristofer68ss]

Day 8 ..... 99.9% of swelling all gone. still feel very minute amount of pain doing ATG unloaded squat.

Not sure what is was, maybe it was the gear.

Took a shot in the right upper quad monday nite....... like i have always been doing........... rubbed the shit out of for 5 minutes afterwards, then took a 15 minute break and rubbed it another 5 minutes....... Today.........NO significant pain at all......

here is a pic of my personal preference of quad injection sites.

Some would say only shoot to the side, or that is too high, or you might hit a vein, etc....,,,,,,but i just try to find a spot with no veins in the top-smidge outer middle third of my leg and jab it there. ......knock on wood, they all have been painless(sides that last LQ shot).

Muscle number 1 is where i like to hit. Muscle 2 left my a gimp for 3 days.

[BOOST]

Same shit happen to me ER and all. I changed sources and cut with b12 and have no issues anymore.

[Kristofer68ss]

i still really dont know what it was from.

New Injection spot?, bad gear?, ran the needle down a follicle which may have had dirt in it? I really dont know.

All I know is i stopped taking keflex day 5, i was getting the shits bad from it.

Oh yeah, This last injection, I heated the vial with a hair dryer for 3-4 minutes prior to getting in shower. Took shower then proceeded with normal injection protocol.

All is good.

Bro sometimes it just happens, I would try and lower the amount of gear you are shooting and cut it with b12. If that does not help, change sources.

[Kristofer68ss]

Yeah, but i have been dosing for 6 weeks already.

Maybe my lucky ass found the only partical of dirt in the whole damn vial.....Thats the way my luck goes.

oh well........

Now i know what to look for.

Trust me, i will always turn to you guys.......And i will provide pics, so you can tell me to shut up or get to the ER.


Thanks again guys. I hope i can help the next guy like you helped me.

oh yeah, Why the B12?

Sounds like thats what i did. Because the pain came on in 4-6 hours. And was a problem in less than 12 hours.

Would an infection or cellutitis be that quick?

I don't know. When I hit a nerve pain is instant but the worst of it takes about 8 hours to feel the full brunt. Takes me 10 days or more to recover. Always in my thigh...in fact I hit a nerve 2 tuesdays ago and am still sore.
