Beyond PIP
ad
About a week ago I pinned left V glute. It has been swollen and painful ever since. Seemed like regular pip and then did a leg day and couldn't put much pressure on my leg. Could barely get my socks on. There is no fever, red streaks, no pus. I really don't think it's an infection. It is very slowly getting better. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this. The oils I'm pinning aren't new. I regularly pin the left V glute. I occasionally get a lot knot but this is a different level.

Ranger3252Sounds like a A non-infected abscess, also called a sterile abscess. I had one not too long ago, but the gear I was running was a 400mg test/eq blend. That stuff was not kind to me lol.
I drained a sterile abscess I had l once lol. Used a 18g harpoon to suck as much out as I could. I still remember the pain of shoving that a massive needle into such a tender spot. That sucked. Don’t recommend it lol.
Pulled out 6ml of pus. Feels a lot better now. Doused the area in peroxide and then alcohol. So hopefully it kinda goes away, still tender. Did this work for you when you drained it yourself.
As far as I can remember I was good to go after that. It didn’t seem to be infected, so I didn’t need antibiotics. It wasn’t red, wasn’t warm to the touch. Started feeling better pretty soon after I drained it.
You inspired me brother.
On the plus side looks like you won’t need to donate blood for a while
I'm considering getting some nolva/clomid and never pinning again haha. What the hell caused this and warn us brother! I was thinking of trying ventroglute this week for the first time. Never pinned that area before. This makes me never want to try it out. Was this because of you're new to pinning and virgins muscle, sanitary protocol, too much oil or too frequently hitting that area?
I don't know exactly what caused it. I use clean needles every time. Use alcohol swabs. That v glute had been well used for pinning and probably wasn't ready for another injection. But I usually run some hot water in a coffee mug to loosen up the oils in the vials. Possibly contamination from that. To be honest it hurts even worse now so I'm done trying to act tough as soon as I clock out of work I'm going to a walk in clinic.
You need an antibiotic man its infection. When you clean to pin with alcohol make sure you let it dry naturally and do not blow on it and also you should be cleaning the tops of your vial with alcohol as well before you stick the needle in. Use at least 70% alcohol, I actually buy the 91%
Shit man. Hope all goes well. Keep us updated. Could've been the mug for sure. I've been using a heating pad for years to warm up the oil in the pins. Turn it on high and tuck it in the heating pad while it's rolled up for 3-4 mins. Give that a try. Wishing the best for a good outcome for that lump man!
Jesus Christ!!! LMAO How to freak everyone out mate Lol
I did this once, mine was actually grey sludgy stuff and didn't have blood in it though.
Grey sludge.. wtf. Was it infected?
I work at a drug rehab in the kitchen. I showed a couple RNs and they're freaking out saying I need to go to the walk in clinic. Bunch of pussy's. They don't know how tough I am. Lol.
God dam.
Ranger3252Brother, I did the exact same thing. Around 2015, I remember thinking of the path of the infected area. It was like using a turkey baster to withdrawal the puss. Needless to say, I utilized medical intervention after 6 cc of whatever the shit was I was withdrawing. Turned out to be an infection as opposed to non- infection.
Damn. Yeah I think this might be that the more and more I read.
Candle warmer going forward and put warm water in a yeti or insulated cup , draw oil and leave in cup for 15mins and I guarantee you barely any pip going forward ! Trick has worked wonders for me using super test 450
Probably a good time to make a Will mate.
Hahaha he's cooked
Damn I'm being a pussy. I need to do hack squats until the pain subsides.
It generally just means you are new to injecting gear mate, it will go in time. Once you have done 3 or 4 cycles it will be much less.
I hereby leave all my NPP to one Press1 of ye olde Englandshire.
You damned Benedict Arnold! I’m going to build a Time Machine so I can go back in time and throw your great great great great great grandfather in the harbor along with the fucking tea! All jokes aside, cousin Drex will take it. Lol
To Lord Drexyl who is more than partial to a cup of Earl Grey and a Victoria sponge I hereby leave all my cialis so that he may continue the good fight upon my demise.
I hereby knight thee Sir RobertB of Lower Uncton, may your biceps always stretcheth your sleeve, and your hens be fertile during the equinox.
(Bonus points if you know of lower Uncton)
Squire you’re a gent and a scholar. A man of discerning taste
Ever since that video was posted making fun of the British and someone said picture @press1 doing deadlifts in a 3 piece suit I can’t get the image out of my head. I really need to find that video again lol
Hahaha love it! Yes please share that vid
I can’t remember who posted it, it was fucking hilarious.
Have you made a Will yet? I did a few years back - figured since I've entered the world of steroids then anytime is a good time LMAO Left everything to the Steroid Research Society.
If I die y'all can have my stash. Stuff my ashes in an Anadrol bottle and leave it in my gym locker.
I think another underrated thing besides massaging and warming up vial is injecting SLOWLY. Take your time don’t push it in right away. Then when your done massage like crazy. You could be having a reaction to the carrier oil, may not agree with you. For whatever reason test at over 250mg a ML gives me absolute insane pip, esp at 350+. I also don’t see why you would run deca and npp tg, that’s like running test prop with enan. A lot of factors here. From what you’ve said, I highly doubt it’s an infection, but worst case scenario if it is (or ever is in the future) just go to doc n say you got bit by a spider. Literally will be no questions asked and you get an instant anti biotic prescribed
Yes exactly that. No sense running deca and NPP. Test 250 also much better for pip. Pharmaqo 300 gave me awful pip.
Yea I don’t even get test over 250 for this reason. Too much of a gamble with pip
I'll drop the NPP in a couple weeks when the deca is built up. Unfortunately I have a huge stash of 300 test and 300 deca.
Yes that sucks. I’ve had to throw out gear because of pip plenty of times. Whatever you do don’t pin that same site for a good month. It will be inflamed for a while and if you’re pinning there every few days there’s likely a build up of scar tissue.
It definitely happens. There was a source on here years ago, when he was on man he was on, sometimes certain items were too overdosed, I’ve had to adjust. But when he was off, forget it. Drexyl doesn’t tell lies, one time with a brand new bottle, I got a damn near softball sized lump that formed within MINUTES! Took 2 full weeks to clear up. Wasn’t hot, was achey but not “painful” but man that thing got big. You could see a raise in my belt line lol
Yes mate that’ll be the Cialis working it’s magic
Lmmfao!
You’re not talking about hulk gear from 10-12 years ago are you? Somehow I never bought from them despite them being the top domestic when I first started coming on here. The green colored oils put me off. When their operation was sinking they put out some batches of gear that fucked a lot of people up with infections. One dude almost lost his leg.
Nah, never used them, lots of horror stories. It was RP4U lol
I think they became almost as bad didn't they LOL
lol it was bad. To this day I couldn’t tell you how much dbol was in their oral suspension, but I swelled up huge and my chest turned into lasagna. My wife said never again, she called me Beetlejuice because my head looked shrunk.
I’ve had some bad pip in the past and one experience similar to yours. Try massaging it gently, and use heating pads a few times a day. Since that experience I warm up every injection before pin and massage after and rotate every time.
Based off some of the responses it sounds like a high quantity of oil in one frequently pinned area.
I’d consider dropping the NPP if you’re already running Deca. If you want a third substance go with tren, mast, primo or EQ. Less frequent pinning and you’re not running two versions of Nandrolone with different esters.
Yes I’ve had it loads of times. Have had to change brand of gear loads before finding a few that give me little to no pip. Personally I stay away from ventroglutes as kept having pain around my hip which was bad for mobility in and out of gym. Glutes and delts work best for me. I take it you pin slowly? Definitely don’t pin that same area for a good few weeks if not longer.
Im going to drop the NPP after a couple weeks when the deca gets built up. I've only ever pinned my left and right hip. And they are toast. The one side with the swelling feels like a mule kicked me. It feels like a tennis back is in my muscle.
Would have been better to kick it off with dbol then until Deca built up. Try pinning glutes and delts. I pin every 3 days alternating sites
Could you provide a photo for reference? Preferably zoomed out of your full back or in the mirror so we can see the full view.
Happy to take a look!
