just done something really silly

[lovbyts]

I just dont get it. People will spend $$$$$$ on their gear, go through all kinds of risk to get it, then store it in a dirty sock or some place unsanitary, be cheap ass and use either NOTHING to sanitize or a cheap cotton ball that has been exposed to every germ in the bathroom drawer and not change a possibly contaminated needle when a box of sterile alcohol swabs are like $5 and a freaking syringe is $0.25??? WTF is wrong with you guys?

I do my injection AFTER a good shower. Even though my gear is kept in a CLEAN drawer or my safe in a box I wipe it each time with a sterile swab and clean the crap out of my injection site before pinning.

WHY do people take these chances. One screw up can set you back months or years.

Peach, those pics are awesome! i think sometimes u need scare tactics to make people realise how important it is to keep things sterile and to prove the point that this is a mans game, not some quick fix joke etc. and lovbyts, i agree with u once again lol! u keep taking the words right out my mouth lol

Do you really think i didn't change the pin cos of the cost, all my ancillaries were free, it was a moment of madness as stated above, the problem was I DIDN'T think. MattUK666 and timguyperson, thanks for your more hopeful posts, day two after jab and only some soreness and a little swelling to report, fingers crossed still.

In your case maybe no but if you read enough you will see there are some cheap asses on here who do. They just dont really think about the risk verses the .25 cost. I'm not saying you did it because of cost but you did it without thinking. Yes it was in a moment of madness but doing something like this there should NEVER be that moment. Look at the consequences/risks. I understand where you are coming from. Yes I'm trying to make you feel like a dumb ass. If it will save you from looking like the above pics then feel free to to call me an ass
Really, I just wanted to get your attention and hopefully someone elses who might make the same mistake or not think about it before doing the same.

I hope everything is fine and you dont have any problems.

BTW have you read this post yet? prop pain or abcess follow-up

Yeah no worries lovbyts, understand what you done there, and what others have during this post, just didn't want to be known as a cheap ass. Yeah read that post, i have pretty much read every post accross three forums on infections/abcesses, i have some anxiety issues, am a big dweller/worrier. You can be sure from now on 'sterile' will be my middle name. Prob gonna go docs tomo morning aswell as a precautionary measure.

Thanks for understand I did not really mean it as a personal flame. I'm glad you are taking it seriously and I'm sure you will take more care in the future.

Let us know how things come out. Good luck.

Yeah no worries bud, now day 3 after 'moment of madness' and still no signs of infection, just a little sore still which I heard is pretty normal given its virgin muscle. Think i maybe in the clear but not counting my chickens just yet. Ok, my third injection is tonight, and since the first two have been a shambles I am even more concerned, not sure whether to hit quads or delts?? Swaying towards delts as doing alot of bike riding this weekend so need the use of my legs.
