fluid retention at injury site?????????

[jdog007]

So im on week 6 of a test e only cycle @ 500/wk and I hit my shin the other day pretty good. So any way its bruised pretty bad and now its holding fluid in the entire bruised area. its not huge but I can press it with my finger and it leaves the indentions in the skin. Ive never had that problem with any injuries just wondering if its AAS related. Oh yeah and when I wake up in the morning the fluid is gone then after about an hour on my feet its back.....any suggestions?

[jdog007]

yeah ok I guess my question was kinda stupid LOL just thought id ask

im no doc but i would think it is some form of cellulitis...

Sometimes using AAS you retain more water . Because gravity effects the body also maybe more fluids end up in lower extremities ? I believe you have a higher red blood cell count also . Hence you might bleed more . I am no expert , just throwing out a couple theories . Good luck and wear shin guards ! lol

yeah that was what I was thinking dontwannabold just thought Id get some opinions. thanks man

[jdog007]

oh yeah that shin guard shit aint no joke man LMAO

sounds like pitting edema, albeit very localized, which can be cause for concern save the fact that you are on a cycle of testosterone which has a common side effect of causing water retention. i wouldnt worry about it, but then again i am not a doctor. but i saw one on tv once.

yeah Im going to keep an eye on it and see what happens, hopefully it will go away on its own but if not Ill watch "House" and hope theres an episode about a dude who is using AAS and also smacked the shit out of his shin and see what Dr. House tells him to do......LMAO
