Strange fluid during injection while I aspirated.
Okay so I was doing my injection today. I was using a 23G needle pinning 2cc of oil into my left delt.
I usually aspirate a few times during injection just to make sure. As I injected I aspirated and noticed a little water/fluid but thought nothing of it and injected anyways since it was not blood.
I kept injecting and aspirating every .5cc just to make sure. The last .5 a good amount of yellow/white fluid went into the syringe. It looked like fat or puss. I'm not sure what this is.
After I pulled the needle out more of this yellow fluid came out and leaked as well as a little bit of oil. I grabbed the alcohol swab and pressed on it to prevent any further leakage.
Does anyone know what that fluid was? I pin delts pretty often due to every day pinning but I still rotate sites. I tend to favor delts though because they can hold more oil than triceps or some other spots.
I'm thinking it was either subcutaneous water and a little fat, or possibly a little pocket of oil from my last injection that hadn't dissipated yet. I think i'm developing some scar tissue in delts. I don't think it was puss though because I had no signs of infection at all. No redness, no swelling, nothing. So I don't really know

AnonSounds def like an infection. Keep cephalexin on hand if it gets worse
RustyhookerSounds like beginnings of sterile abscess bro. Hot pad and keep eye on it. Don't repin it for a while. Stetile abscess may not go directly into infection. The body is fairly durable at reabsorbing. Just keep eye on it for smooshy...if that's a word. Abscess can be sucked out by syringe at dictors if needed or it reabsorbs if body is up to par.
The same thing happened to me today. I was injecting 1cc of Test E in my right delt and it felt alittle different going in, but I didn't have any pain so I proceeded to inject the test and when I pulled the needle out I got some fluid drainage which appeared to be puss, not alot though. I'm thinking I have cellulitis so I started keflex and hot compresses. I'm hoping I can get it resolved without going to the Doc.
Mine resolved itself. I just stopped injecting there for a month and all is well now.
WithdrawlI've had this happen too. It looked like puss. I gave that site a break from injections for a while and everything was fine. Keep an eye on it though.
X2
It could just be extra cellular fluid due to trauma to the area, every .5 cc is a lot if aspirating...I'd be injecting all day if I did that
Yeah this happened to me my first cycle excess test that my body couldnt process making the oil look like puss like an infection when its not. As long as its not red and painful u should be fine
waltri had a cyst removed once that leaked that kind of fluid when they cut it open with a scalpel
the cyst was just a lump under the skin
edit
it was a ganglion cyst if you wanna look up more info about them
Uh oh. Do you think I have an infection?
I practice a very strict sterility protocol so unless the gear was contaminated inside the vial, I doubt my injection procedure could have led to an infection. I know there's always a risk but I am very good about injection technique.
waltrcysts arn't really infections, they're contained inside of a membrane beneath the skin, if it is a cyst you could have injected directly into it and some of it leaked out, but if that was the case i would think some of the fluid inside of it would have continued to leak out the injection site.
cysts are literally lumps under the surface of the skin, if it is one you would probably be able to feel it when pushing down on the skin, i don't want to stress you out cause i really have no way of knowing if that's what it is.
cysts are not harmful to the body in any way other than from an aesthetic viewpoint, the one i had was literally a lump you could see beneath my skin, which is why i had it removed.
i have heard repeated injections and the oil not fully dissipating in the muscle could cause cysts, which along with the fluid description is what made me think to mention it.
somebody else might have more experience with what happened to you though, the cyst i had removed was is no way related to AAS usage.
Okay thanks that's good to know lol.
Your probably right, it could be harmless. I think I'm gonna stop doing the left delt for a few weeks and stick to chest, tris, bis, lats, quads, and glutes.
RustyhookerX2. Watch for heat or spot to get mushy feeling. How many days between spots? 1cc Max for my delts but some guys can handle more.
I usually do 2-3 for delts lol. Looks like I was doing too much then.
Heres my rotation.
left bicep, right bicep, left delt, right delt, left tricep, right tricep, left lat, right lat, left pec, right pec, left quad, right quad, left glute, right glute, and sometimes calves.
I only use delts, quads, and glutes for 3cc injects and the smaller 1.5cc injects I use tris, bis, chest, lats. Only use 0.5cc for calves
RustyhookerLot of days between. Oil maybe too much for that area. Hows chest feel? Haven't hit those yet.
I like pinning tren ace and test prop in chest. Because they dissipate faster. I don't like the feeling of having heavy cottonseed oil based EQ, or sustanon sitting in your pecs for nearly 3 weeks. That's why I use short esters for chest.
RustyhookerNice thinking! Will remember that
I heard calves are a bitch if u do it wrong just crimples u
if you do it wrong, it is not any different than doing ti wrong in another injection site. The calves have a good amount of nerve endings though, so be careful.
Actually try injecting from the side, I've never had pain in calves
waltryour deltoid is a small muscle =( don't beat the poor things up too much
