1st abscess with other pin pain despite sterile procedure... advice needed

[NACH3]

Instead of constantly using your glutes(which is fine on 2 pins a wk) but rotating inj sites is very important! I can pin quads in a different place ed for about 4 days... Do I do this sometimes... It lessons scar tissue build up when you rotate! But I'm pinning prop ed so I have to have at least 6 sites, you don't need nearly this many... But try doing a wk in quads(and the tear drop is painful for first time users, so I'd suggest the outter quad(IT Band - 6" down from hip bone gives you an idea!

Also what comes to mind is you said he did the inj for the first 4... No probs, right? So there must be a technique issue IMO!

GL!

He did 1-4
I did 5-6
He did 7 (first time red and pain and knot) 8(abscess)
I did 9 (ted pain knot itchy)

I looked into doing quad and I'll probably give it a shot next time. Much easier too reach too I bet. Thanks!

Sorry I typed this pretty quick when waiting for my antibiotics. I do switch from the 18g to the 23g needle when I pin.

My buddy said he used the same draw needle throughout his whole cycle so that's why I went with it. I started using a new one after pin 7 and ordered more. I have seen how much it can dull the draw needle and it was pretty dumb not to just get more since they are cheap.

I have read that if the oil doesn't get deep enough and gets between the skin and muscle it can cause an abscess as well. I don't pull the needle right away and sit for 30 seconds or so before moving after pin then massage it hoping to prevent it. Normally I get a drop of blood back but 7 and 8 were drops of oil, idk if that says anything or not.

Tossing the gear is what I am starting to think is the best option but I'll have to drop the DECA completely I only am doing enough to use one vial for the whole cycle and my guy orders as needed
