Only a small or normal amount of blood after I pulled out. It was definetly sore for a couple of days. I would assume I was flirting with a nerve on that one. Three days ago I used my delt and drew back blood. No biggy, I switched needles and pushed out the little bit of blood that I drew in. There was still a little bit in the juice but I figure what the hell, its my blood. With a fresh needle I jab my left thigh. Easy entry, no pain, all went well. The next day it was sore. Yesterday it was sore as shit, limping to walk, and large red area. I knew it was infected because my right thigh got infected once before. I contacted doctor and started anibiotics last night. Cephalexin 500 MG. I dont understand it at all. The shot was clean and pain free. Maybe that one drop of blood caused it, but I doubt that was the culprit. Its the same juice I have been running for months, no probs. Shit happens, but thats each leg that has gotten infected in 6 or 8 months. I am gun shy of using the quads now. That should be a large and easy target, but it seems to cause probs for me. I guess I will have to stick to delts and glutes. BUT, yes you will know when you hit a bad spot like a nerve. Its also been said that your body will tell you how fast to inject. If its hard to push the plunger, then slow down or even wait a couple of seconds before resuming. I try the medium pace. I rub or massage the area alot afterwards.
