Thread: Infection question

    Infection question

    I have a question about infection.

    I pinned myself friday and the night between friday and saturday I slept on my arm altough it was sore. Yesterday morning when I woke up my arm was kinda red but well more pink then red. Today it seems like it's a bit better I think I will call my doctor to check this up but is there a way to be sure it is or isn't an infection.

    Also I trained my arm friday so At first I was thinking if the pin, arm training and sleeping on the arm I pinned could have cause somekind of microwound and could have cause the red-pink color on my arm?

    I doesn't hurt altough today it's a bit itchy and slightly warmer then the rest of my arm.

    Any comment or help would be greatly appreciated.

    What did you use, has that same gear made you sore before? I done some sus 250 and my ass felt like it had a softball in it for days, but not red and warm.If it is still warm and red i would go see a doc.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Just like the gentleman above asked...what did you inject?.. it would shed better light if we knew what compound you used...

    test e is the compound I'm injecting.
    When I inject I'm sore for 1-2 days after the injection.
    But this time the area is red and altough around the injection spot it is red it's not the center area of the redness in fact around the injection spot it look better then yesterday. Hope this is clear enough if not ask what you'd like to know

    What kind of gear do you have? ugl, human grade (not asking the brand)? Did you get red before? If it is ugl i would wait a day see how it looks and feel, if it seems warm still i would see the doc.

    The general rule of thumb is to wait a week. If it isn't an infection, it usually clears up within 5 days. After a week, head to the hospital for antibiotics. I actually keep Levoflox on hand just for this scenario.

    OK well I talked today with a friend of mine wich is using gear since well a long time and he told me that I pinned like ½ inch to low and that it happened to him sometime when he miss a shot. So I think I'll wait a bit and if in a week it isn't better or worse I'll consult a doctor.
    What is levoflox?????
    It is veterinary grade the test I'm using.

    levofloxacin. It is an potent, broad spectrum antibiotic that should take care of any sort of bacterial abscess (gram positive or negative).
