First I'm texting from a cell phone so excuse grammar.
Background of gear: Def a bath brew, I have pics I can post if needed. maker is called menace Pharms and it is test enanthate 350 mg/ml. A gear head at my gym has tried the exact same stuff I am using and said it was legit. Another guy is currently taking same stuff as Me and is 2 more weeks ahead of me and has had no complaints. Using 25 g cc 1" needle (I know I'm buying a 1.5 tomorrow ). injecting 2 cc's a week 3 days apart (1 cc every 3 days)
My background: my injection sites are my glutes(plural because i switch) first cycle and I just took my first injection of my 3rd week yesterday. Have been skeptical of my gear since it is not a pharmicudical brand. From the hours of research I have done I feel like I am getting every symptom of legit test.
The problem: I've always had some soreness hours to a day after injection. Today I noticed on both glutes the injection site is knotted up like a hard ball. Not too big and no more tender then the usual soreness. The site is a little warm to the touch and I am worried. I started taking a antibiotic incase it is a infected abscess and plan on seeking medical attention if it does not get better in the next few days or it drastically gets worse. From my research here are some of the possible reasons this is happening
- needle is not long enough To hit muscle and Is crystalizing in the fat. Supppsidley it just takes longer to absorb in the far and is not a waste of gear
- injecting gear too fast. Usually takes 20 sec to inject 1cc I read that you should make it last a full minute so it can absorb properly
- dirty needle. I always use alcohol swabs but have been using the same needle since first injection (I know I am a ****ing retard but I keep getting denied everywhrre I go and long story short I can't go back to original place). I soak the needle in alcohol before injecting to try and kill as much bacteria and never let it touch anything other then my ass, i alcohol swab the spot of injection before and after. I will not inject another mg without buying a new needle. Please don't berate me to much over this. I understand how stupid it was and am never going to make the same mistake
- injected abscess (worst case senario)
- and this last one is heart breaking but I read this could be a sign my gear is botch. But how come none of my friends are experiencing this?
Either way I wanted to hear some of your guys opinions.
