Little Concerned

[cenzo78]

Took the plunge friday and had a vet give me a shot in my right delt, 1cc of test e 300mg. About 24 hours later about 2 inches down my triceps was really sore and tender to the touch. Yesterday the area was still very sore, tender, and had a slightly yellowish discolouration. Today its still very tender, warm, and there is a red patch where the tender spot is. This was my first shot, the whole process was extremely sterile and careful.

Any advice?

Also, should I continue to take my next dose on friday in a different location?

i think your fine.

since i know what blend your using and since im using the same myself, there is no need for panic.

i suggest switching to your glute or quad. remember the bigger the muscle the better the absorbation of the oil.
also everyone reacts differently to certain compounds, and even what they use to cut the blends with might irritate you
9THE TYPE OF OIL, ALCOHOL CONTENT, ETC..)

as long as it isnt swelled up bad, and you have no flu like symptoms youll be fine brother

Okay cool, im going to give it a few more days and if by thursday it isnt getting better, i guess ill have to take my ass to the urgent care. Should I do any compress's cold or hot?

I've been having some terribly painful injections lately. The only thing that has seemed to help is lots of advil.

painful only, or painful accompanied by swollen, tender, and warm?

Agreed. I'm either using or have used what you're using. I do all my shots bilatterally. This past Wednesday I did them in my lower outer glutes. The left was fine, but the right one was unbearably sore, red, and swollen. The skin all over my body hurt (test flu). I couldn't sleep 2 nights b/c it was so bad. Added some ibuprofen and benadryl and it's finally gone today. For some reason benadryl really helps me with bad shots. I know my application and gear is sterile. Sometimes you just get a bad one. You'll know if it's cellulitus, you won't be coming on here asking!! It will spread and you'll feel like you're dying. My indicator is if it hampers my training, I need antibiotics.

Yes Dude you are right about the celluitis.. I have a buddy that got it so bad that he bbout lost his arm.. But I never tried benadryl before.. Do you use it on all you shots the get sore ??

It has not hampered my training so far. Its sore, and fucking tender to the point where if i flex my tricep it hurts like a mofo and forget about touching it. I have a habit of being over anxious, so im just going along as if it were normal. The swelling seems to be getting a bit bigger. Just took 2 motrin, hope that helps a bit.

Its just strange that the affected area is about 2 inches below where the site was?

Mine have been painful and tender, with general swelling, but not a knot or anything like that. And I don't think it has been warm.

 

[cenzo78]

The tenderness has subsided a bit with the motrin, now that I can actually touch it, there is a quarter sized mass thats flat laying on top of the direct center between my bicep and tricep on the front of my arm. Area is hot and the redness almost looks like blotchy sunburn. It covers about a 3' by 3' area of my arm. Weird that its inches below where the pin spot was? That area is completely fine

If this doesnt get better by friday, should I take my next dose in my glute?

 

[MightyJohn]

I'd get a different brand of test Bro(might be allergic to the type of oil its suspended in)...also try heating it up...might kill the extra BA/BB that could be in it

 

[cenzo78]

Morning update.

Its killing me. Im taking the day off from training to see if it helps at all. Took 4 motrins yesterday and the tender-to-the-touch feel went away, but now its back. I measured my arms cold about a month ago and they were 17.5. I measured again last night and its 18.25. 3/4 of an inch of swollen, red, goodness!

Im torn whether or not i should continue with this just incase im allergic to something in it and thats why im reacting the way I am, or whether I should try one more time in my glute to see if thats any better? I just know I dont want to deal with this for another whole week.

Sounds to me you have a reaction going on with the BA in this product. That's the normal thing for a higher concentration of test if you have test e 300. I got the same thing from using test e 400 a while back—made my arm so painfully sore, painkillers did hardly anything to bring it down. I literally had to wait it out for a couple of weeks before it started to go back to normal. You may want to alternate hot and cold compresses to help circulate it out and reduce swelling.

 

[cenzo78]

i was going to do the compresses sauds, but didnt get any clearance by the vets whether or not it was a smart move. Ive been trying to combat the swelling with motrin. Did you continue with the 400mg in a different location since you seem to have had the same reaction i did? Any issues if so?

 

[saudades]

Yes, I went to a location where my body was more used to getting shots, i.e., glutes. It was still painful but nowhere near as bad.

 

[cenzo78]

This was my first one ever im like damn, if theyre all like this id rather be small...

the hurt i can deal with, the swollen and redness scares me

Shoulders are smaller than glutes take it in the ass like a man lol. Seriously its easier and you can sit on a heating pad to help the oil dispurse faster.
