+ 1 help infection or bad pip
ad
Alright. I need some insight guys. Please.
I injected 200mgs of t-400. Into right middle outer quad w a 25ga 5/8 inch needle. Followed all normal procedures like all ways. First time I hit my quads n 2 years. This is my first time using this supplier of test but is very respected.
I pinned Wednesday afternoon. Thursday peg leg all day. Friday a lil swollen no discolor or anything. But damn. It is sore. Hurts to touch and walk or bend.
Bad pip or infection ?
Before this I pinned same gear same amount in delt. Had minimal pip. I hardly ever get pip. Opinions please !
Thanks

BigBmajI'm seeing lots of infections these days. Scary shit. I'm going to make sure I tighten up my protocol.
Yeah, definitely got me thinking a little different. Not that I didn't care before. But, from now on I'm gonna b extra careful
5/8 that's ur problem bro you injected into a nerve ending. Check out a pic of mine that says "quad pip" that's my money spot. You need to be using a 1 1/2 inch pin bro. And if its hard for the oil to go through that 25 you need to switch to a 23 because putting to much pressure during the injection can cause pip also.
U r right,it is my problem. That's why I went to doctor this morning. It's an infection. And actually it's all my fault due to poor technique. I've been doing this for three years. So I'm still learning. That's why I'm here.
Take a hot shower and massage the area that you pinned. Oil should disperse.
I know my leg is very tight and swollen. I'm not sure what to tell u buddy. I have never had an issue. This is my first experience like this. Maybe sum one else will chime n.
I have a question. I feel a strange tightness in my tricep that has not gone away. I usually feel this with pip in fact I thought it was part of pip. But now the pain to move my arm is gone but the tightness remains. It was hot for a couple of days and red and looked inflamed. The hotness, redness is gone. Still looks slightly puffy. But the tightness remains somewhat strong. Which kinda scares me. Is it a abscess? There is no pain just un-natural tightness. Going on 5-6th day of it now. I pinned both triceps, the right one healed within 2 days.
PIP my friend. I did same thing with a 5/8 pin. Quad hurt so bad for two weeks I could barely walk. Oil traveled down to my knee. Had a lump in my quad for over a month. Oil went sub Q, quads need at least 1 inch for a deep injection. Advil and hot compresses helped me. But it was very painful. Delts only for me now with a 1 inch 25 gauge and never a problem.
That's exactly what's going on w me. I will NEVER pin quads w 5/8. Worst pip I have ever had. Blows
Bad PIP bro. But you're not out of the woods yet.
Always remember the higher the concentration of the drug in solution, the more the chance for PIP. If you used something like Test U at 500 mg/ml - maybe even worse. Second, per below, at least 1" needle for quads. You can be stage lean but you need to get deeper into the muscle. If it's infected it's gonna be red, swollen, hot and painful but the incubation period for staff like infections is so variable (days) I would keep an eye on it. If it's infected you will also probably be running a fever.
Okay. Yeah I'm working again today 16hrs shift don't help. I off tomorrow and gonna lay round and take it easy. I'm not running a fever. Stiff and swollen leg. Thx bro.
Sounds like bad pip! Watch for redness, swelling , palpable fluctuants or a fever.. This could indicate abscess. Also you may have not went deep enough with the size pin you used.
First time I ever used a 5/8. I messed up should of used an inch. 5/8 inch I'll have to save for Delts and triceps. Damn I nervous. I was on my feet for 16hrs yesterday to. But, today it not as bad as yesterday. Still hurts though.
Keep an eye on it. I've had pip with redness that lasted up to a week before.
OK. I will. Thank you sir, for the help.
Is 5/8 inch a big no no for quads even if u are lean ?
I'm sure there are folks who can get away with it, but IMO I would always go with 1-1.5 like Greg said.
Sounds good. Idk what I was thinking. Live and learn .
Thx man
RustyhookerGreg has ya correct. Fill him in
OK thanks man
only a 5/8 inch needle in the quad? I know this doesn't answer your question but I've never used less than an inch, typically 1.5 inches.
Localized swollen as in it's close to the surface, or is the leg is swollen?
not hit in 2 years... feel like a virgin?
is it hot to the touch? red?
I have used one inch w no problems in quad. I know I probably shouldn't of used a 5/8 . My legs r lean and I figured it wouldn't matter. Swollen around injection point like ur delt will knot up sometimes. If that makes since. No redness. It's not hot to touch.
Just a lil swollen. Weird
But at what point should I b concerned ? 5 days a week ? I also murder my legs that day after I injected. Thanks for ur time brother.
I'm the exact same way not that means you definitely don't have an infection, but based on those symptoms alone, it doesn't mean anything. I think quads are just a whole different monster, I stay away from them altogether they hurt so goddamn bad. that's just my experience.
Shit its been so long since I pinned them I can't remember. Lol...
I got pip like a mofo. Bout to ice this beach. I just need to quick b n a beech. Maybe tomorrow it will feel better.
heat, not ice
