Impatient Or Bunk Gear?

[SampsonandDelilah]

Thank you for taking time to respond. I really, truely appreciate it. No changes in skin, balls havent drawn up, nothing at all.

Yes sir, 5 weeks. Tomorrow is pin 11 aka first pin of week 12.

As far as anxiety goes, part of it is my fault I guess; I read so much on here, on Reddit, and online in general, about guys who have all these issues after a pin. And being so-called "illegal", I never know what I should say to a doctor if I ever need to go see one about something. If you should tell them the truth or not. I do always take a shower before every pin, I alcohol swab the area, swab the needle using different swab, switch draw and pin needles. I tried to take every precaution every measure possible to make sure myself and gear and environment is sterile as possible. I guess I'm more afraid of how to know if something is actually wrong versus par for the course and what to do if.

Hopefully the gear you procured is from a reputable source. Only time will tell. Sourcing is obviously vital.

At some point you can get “analysis paralysis”. Quit reading and listening to everyone’s else’s anecdotal bull shit and just trust your intuition. Be sterile and don’t shoot obviously cloudy funky diluted gear. If guy get an infection...your body will let you know. Get to an urgent care and be truthful. Easy as that. Trust me, they’ve seen far worse. You won’t get arrested, just a lecture and some antibiotics.

Fingers crossed for you
