Possible Issue - Medic

[CJAKT]

Injecting Test Enanthate .75 twice a week 3.5 days apart. (use alcohol and two needles for each injection meaning the needle inserted into the bottle is dis guarded while a new needle is put on for injecting)

Injected first in right arm then left butt cheek then left arm and back to right arm. I have had no real issues with injections except for soreness from hell. LoL well at least the butt.

After doing my last injection into my right arm, the first day it was painless. I mean you couldn't even tell I had injected. The next day I carried a entertainment center in and my arm lit up in soreness. My arm is now red around the injection site, about as big as a coaster. And sore to the touch but not unbearable. The area does not itch at all and feels so good when cold compress is put on it. The area is also swollen, but not swollen past my natural skin diameter. Meaning its not huge and nasty swollen but rather firm and a long knot under the skin in the red irritated area. When you place your hand over the area it feels hotter than the rest of my arm. Noticeably.

Lol if its cause for concern then go and see your doctor, its better to be safe than sorry..

Ive never had issues like this so thats all i can say, sorry....

I would have it looked at. Are you running a fever? sounds like it is probably infected.

No I have no fever, I actually feel great like roids make you. haha good spirits. I circled the area last night and woke up and the area had went down alittle, not a lot but some. I am applying warm compresses throughout the day. When its cold it hurts, when warm and relaxed it feels better.

I'd get that checked out, it could develope

What kind of test e. Just curiouse

Sounds like inflammation issues.Ibuprofen and/or diclofenac should do the trick. I only shoot in the glutes and that works fine for me.There was an article back at T Nation that showed some studies that proved higher plasma concentrations of hormone are achieved via IM admin to the glutes.

If the swelling gets worse or doesn't go away, go see a doctor, because it's infected. Otherwise, I'd say it's just irritated, especially since you said it got a little smaller over night.

I just want to know why everyone has such a problem just shooting glutes? 5X a day there is a post on here about a sore spot, or a red spot, or a really puffy spot and 99 out of 100 times it is a bi, ot tri, ot trap, or calf or well you get the picture! very seldom does anyone have an issue with a glute injection! I hoot glutes 4X a week and I et a little sore but never so sore it interfers with my daily activites, working out or anything else! I had a problem with glutes only once with test prop so what did I do? Stopped the prop! I think there is a reason why when you go get a shot from the doctor she does not do it in your bicep or tricep! They are small muscles and were not made to have big needles poked in them every few days! Just my opinion though!!

[diesel405]

Its probably just trying to dispurse from the muscle. (absorb) Its happened to me with every shot of prop. Never with test e. Keep an eye on it and if its still not better in 5 days go see a doctor. 5 days is usually the key with me.

Try NSAIDs (alieve, etc.) get a black marker and draw a line around the redness. In the morning if the redness has passed the line, get your ass in to be seen. I see stuff like this all the time and ppl wait to long then have to get I.V. Anit-biotics, no bueno.....keep n eye on it.....good luck

[ted666]

i agree with nine . my first and only injections of sust and deca were all in glutes and no problemsat all.

[organized_konfusion]

When you're at the doctors, anything over 1ml, will not do in the delt, tri....it will most likely go in the glute

try jump into a hot tub and really rub the bastard out! I had this problem, and thought it was infected but was told by someone at my gym to try rub it out in a hot tub for 15 minutes. Worked wonders for me. Oh and also go to a sporting goods store and by a compression brace/pad. Keeps it warm, and compresses it the whole day.
