Injection site issue
Hey guys I got an issue and hoping someone can shine a little light on it for me. I’ve been using gear for 20+ on and off, the last 5-6 years more on than off. December 1st I pinned 1cc of sust 450 and I had a little bit of prop left I wanted to use up so my last few pins I’ve added .5cc on top of it. Pinned my right glute and everything seemed normal. Woke up the next day with what felt like a baseball in my glute. I shrugged it off and thought it’ll go away. Well 3 days later it hasn’t went away and I can barely walk, touching it is hell, it’s so big you can see the bulge in my jeans. The tightness runs almost from my hip to the crack of my ass with one major bulge in the middle. I tried icing it, heating pad, nothing has worked.
So my questions are:
Has anybody had anything similar?
What did I hit?
What can I do?
I’m starting to get a little concerned so any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks for you time.

IN THE PAST IF I HAVE EVER HAD A Troubled SPOT THAT DOSENT GO AWAY AFTER A DAY OR SO AND NOTICE AN INCREASE IN REDNESS, SWELLING, OF WARM TO THE TOUCH I WOULD SEAK A DOCTOR AND GET ON ANIBOITICS. IF YOU WANT TO WAIT IT OUT AND MONITOR THE AREA I WOULD CIRCLE THE AREA WITH A SHAPPIE AND IF BY THE THE NEXT DAY IT SPREADS PAST SEEK MEDICAL HELP. AT THE END OF THE DAY I ALWAYS TAKE THAT STUFF VERY SERIOUSLY AND SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP..
its happened to me 2x, it was due to the person who pinned me did not use a long enough pin for the size of my glutes at the time. if the pin is too short it can cause a big swelling. 2nd time My glute had a large swelling that looked pink and was hot to the touch. it took 2 weeks to go away and it was painful when pressed. the 1st time it took 4 weeks to go away. hope all is well and it subsides. i recommend warm compresses to loosen up the area.
I'm still not sure which way is the ideal route to go when dealing with PIP and swelling from pulled muscle - Is it best to use Ice and get the swelling down by stopping the excess blood flow and bleeding to the area or like you say use warm compresses to keep the blood flow there and lessen the stiffness that comes on? I keep reading conflicting stories on the issue. Warm things such as a shower ease the pain but do they prolong the healing.
The problem you guys have over there is it costs a lot to go to the Doctors or ER doesn't it, where as here its free. If its gear you have used before a few times then its probably down to a bad injection and it will go in time. If its a brand new Lab to you and its on the first pin then its a totally different ball game, but 9/10 times will still just go in time. I've done shots where I am sure it has been a slight infection I've had as its taken a few weeks to pass and kneecaps and all sorts have turned into tennis balls. Luckily my immune system has fought it off. If things are not improving after a week I say go and have it looked at, but go before that too if your gut instinct tells you something just is not right.
Molinin302Thats a lot of high concentration sust at once, I would've split the injections and mixed it with something else. Thats just me though. There's a list of things it could be, but first on my list would be see if the lump is hot to the touch. Take your temperature, that will give you a better idea of infection. Its happened to just about all of us, just be proactive with it before it gets out of hand.
My doc’s office was filled so I came to the ER since the pain and swelling keeps getting worse! I’ve had em lump up and be sore etc but nothing like this I would think it was quite impressive if it wasn’t attached to me! I thought about the temperature thing as the nurse said I need to take your temperature but they are gonna give me some antibiotics so I’d think that would help..waitin on X-ray images to get back. Thanks for everybody’s feedback I really appreciate it
Been there, there are worse case scenarios but often it will be a injection in scar tissue from a earlier injection.
It can be the gear if you use ugl it can be a infection for the gear.
Rotation for scar tissue is important.
Depending on you bodyfat it can be you inject not in muscle but between fat and muscle. This can also get a infected lump
Take some ibuprofen and see what is does. If your really scared go to the docter.
Honestly it might be nothing I get some severe lumping from time to time in my glute without any obvious reason. If it was your sciatic nerve you'd know, some idiot nurse once hit mine and it felt like I had electric shocks going from my ass to my back for a week
trash300Infection, I had the same 15yrs ago, don't wait a day longer!
Did you just go to the doc for that?
trash300I'm a Faggot... but in a good way.
Huh Was that directed at me? Because I asked if you went to the doctor for that? My bad bro I was just wondering if a shot is all it was going to take
lmao i was confused as well
You hit a sciatic nerve? Inflamed it? Probably get called thick, but that's my input.
I thought about the nerve but figured I’d I hit the nerve I would have known it the second I hit it. the shot went smooth as could be....til the next morning lol
Yeah thats right if you got a nerve you would know that right away!!
Could be allergic reaction? Had sciatic pains for years in my legs, hurts like a fucker.
1 cc sus 450 + .5 cc more prop. Hmmmm id say inject the same amount in the same exact spot and show that ass whose boss
LMFAO Haha he will Cry his motherf# ass off haha
Good idea I’ll try that when I get off work
Molinin302Now see, thats crazy talk. At least pin the other cheek so they match...
Now that makes sense, its all about the symmetry
He will definitely have some junk in that trunk then
