So i started my first cycle of test e about 2 and a half weeks ago. So far i have done 5 injections (alternating glutes) and each one has had about the same effects. A little swelling, a little redness, and some moderate pip that all goes away in about 4 days but nothing i cant handle. Except for my last shot. The redness has been lasting longer than usual and there is a bit of pitting edema below the injection site (injection site itself looks fine) down to about the middle of my thigh. I have no fever and i otherwise feel fine so i don't think it's an infection but i can't help but be concerned. I've been injecting into glutes with a 1 inch pin and just realized i should be going for a 1.5 to get into the muscle. I'd say my BF% is probably around 17% but not entirely sure. So i'm hoping its not an infection and i just injected subq by accident. Does this sound normal to anyone? I've been taking keflex just incase and the redness has subsided a bit since yesterday but i only have about 3 days worth. Pain is getting better as well, and again, temperature is only 98.8. My main concern is the pitting edema.
