Outer bicep head swollen after delt pin?
ad
Three days ago I pinned 1.5cc of prop in my left delt for the first time, I normally only shoot 1cc in my delt. The pin was smooth as normal with no pain after pin but I woke up the next day and my delt felt fine but the top of my bicep had a knot in it and it was a little red. I figured it was not anything major just a little irratated so I applied my heading pad to it for about thirty minutes and it felt alot better afterwards. I woke up this morning (3 days after pin) and my whole outer bicep head it extremely red and hot to the touch. I really doesnt at all but when I touch the area I feel a knot in the center and its red and smoking hot. Do you guys think this is from pinning to much oil or something more seroius?

It's from 3 years ago.......

jiimytattoo75ive had this problem before to be honest i thought i fucked up my pin it felt like the oil was going down the side of my bicep and bam it was red as shit and hot
I deal with this fairly often. I personally think it's from warming the oils and making it more viscous. It's not limited to my delts. I can pin my quad or glutes and feel the oil travel further in the muscle tissue. I started pinning with an 1 1/2 and it seems to have lessened some.
you use a 1.5'' on your delts? you must have huge shoulders!
Last night I iced down my arm for an hour then wrapped it in my heating pad and ended up passing out with it still on there. When I woke up today the redness and swelling was about 90 dissapated
still have a small knot but it looks 1000x better!!
Bro it's absolutely fine! It's happened to me like 4-6 times where my whole upper bicep gets red and swollen(no knot though usually I had a little hardness between delt/bicep only when it was my left delt twice)....basically its the oil seeping down into your bicep...either the delt was filled with too much oil from prior injections...or it was close to being between the front/side deltoid and it seeps down to your bicep. Don't freak out and go to the doctor it goes away in less an week! You don't want to deal with doctors they are idiots when it comes to this stuff anyway!
Yeah Ive been doin research and found multuiple people with the same issue on other threads and they all were fine a couple of days later. One guy was saying that if you sleep on the same arm that you pin that the compound will get pushed out of your delt and mostly go into your bicep. I circled the redness with a pen earlier today to see if the redness would spread and it has actually dissapated a little already and the redness has began to fade. I think it was just to much oil for my delts, I normally do 1cc and have never had any issues and very mild pip. Im gonna keep a close eye on it and haul ass to the doctor if it starts getting worse and/or I get a fever but I highly doubt I have an infection because the infection would be at the injection site. But since you mention it, I did have very mild pip im my delt when I did this injection so it propable did have some left over oil still in the area. I normally rotate quad/quad then delt/delt but I love pinning my delts so much I decided to just pin them again instead of going to my quads. lol guess that was a bad idea!
Glad to hear things are getting better! And great job doing research, posting the question(we're always here to help/share our experiences on any questions!), and figuring it out...I don't blame you being worried either I freaked the fuck out when it happened to me the first time lol. Also I did the same thing as you since I had stiffness/hardness which was only spread to the upper bicep area I put a heat pad on it and I felt better at the moment....but then the next day I was like wtf because the whole bicep was red/little swollen since the oil spread more lol! I think you can get away with 1.5 cc's if you rotate enough or maybe when your delts get a little bigger. I love pinning delts too feels like it absorbs better/quicker than other groups. Four spots to inject isn't optimal cause depending on the oil/compounds you're using it could be saturated too much...like for me since I pin everyday...I just circle from right delt/left delt/left glute/left thigh/right thigh/right glute. which is six days(six spots) between pinning again and usually gives enough time for the area to recover. Just don't over-do it with the delts cause scar tissue will build up and it isn't fun pushing that oil in then and may cause more issues as you experienced.
Yeah ive been thinking about throwing my glutes in the loop but evertime I attemp I back out since its just a weird angle to reach. My ex gf use to pin my glutes for me but my new one gets way to queezy around needles. She cant even watch me pin. lol. Ive been contemplating hitting my tri's as well. Im waiting on some 25g pins and think im gonna give em a go when they come in. Im doing a 8week prop/var cycle right now and eod in the same 4 inject spots are gonna get a little over worked.
Sometimes prop does that to me too brother. If it gets any worse, carry your ass to the doctor!!! Having said that, I believe you'll be ok in a couple days.
I feel like its fine 2. Im definately hauling ass to the doc if it gets worse but its already starting to dissapate so I think im good. Its just weird how the compound can move to another muscle like that. If you could see my arm you would swear that I pinned my bicep and not my delt lol.
It's something more serious brother . Go see the doc. Time lost= muscle lost. It could be a abscess or cellulitis. Both of them eat away your muscle and it is not reversible. Get to the doc!!
I just read a few other threads about people having the same issue and it passed a couple days later. They were saying it was irritated from to much oil but who knows. Jim gonna monitor it for a while and if It gets worse I'm gonna get it looked at. I'm at work now and wont get off til 11 :/
Okay... Get a marker and mark where the red stops on all sides. Check on it in a couple of hours. If the red spreads past the marks then you know it's spreading and you need to get it checked out. I pinned some prop years ago in my left delt. It was okay for a day but then I started to develop redness and fever. I waited over a week and it just got worse. My arm from my shoulder to my elbow was twice the size as the other and red and it hurt like hell. I thought to my self here's your sign cmo. I went to the doc and they said I had cellulitis and gave me shot and some anti biotics. The infection ate away some of my tricep and I can no longer pin that delt anymore. Good luck brother
Thats funny you mention that because I marked dotten lines around the red area a couple hours ago to see if it got worse but its actually like a couple centimeeters inside the marks already
sorry to hear about the cellulitous brother Ill definetly keep an eye on it. Thanks for the info bro
the knot is in your bicep? that is odd. if for some reason the injection was not deep enough it could enter your subq and travel causing pip. is the swelling hard or soft and mushy to the touch. if it is soft it is more than likely an infection, if it is hard it is more than likely just a bad shot. i just find it odd that an injection in the shoulder would cause a knot in the bicep
Its hard like a knot. I had a knot just like this a while back in my glute from pinning 1cc of test 500. I doubt it went sub q cause I used a 1 inch needle and went straight in and I steralised as normal
yes but in the injection site right? that is just from the high mg gear and your body absorbing the oil but not the compound fully which causes it to crystallize within the muscle, hence the knot. but pinning the delt and having a knot in the bicep sounds a little more serious, first i have heard of something like that
Can you take a picture and upload?
I would if there was a way that I could post it here. I really dont want to post it in the self pic section.
RustyhookerEr room bro. Get to er now. Infected.
That's what I was thinking at first but wouldnt the injection site be affected if it was an infection and I don't feel bad or have a fever. Its red about 4 inches down from inject site
RustyhookerIf its red hot its infected. Warm and travelling is different than red hot.
I think I over exagerated on the temp because I was kinda freaking out at the moment before I started researching. Its more warm than anything else and its starting to dissapate since I took some aleve. Ive been taking my temp and its in the normal range and I feel fine so Im just gonna keep a close I on it and if it gets any worse Ill definetly go get it checked out. If I do go to the ER should I tell them whats its from or just make up some excuse like I dont know how that got there? lol
RustyhookerYou tried b-12 injection. If its just warm then its just reaction. Keep eye on it though.
