Time to see a doctor?
Hi All,
started my first cycle on Saturday, running Test E, 500mg a week, two injections 250 each, I sterilized and prepared all my equipment correctly including changing the drawing and injecting needle, however today I still have some quite sore post injection pain, feels like a mad knot in my glute (my injection site) also running a fever but as I had a cold coming on Monday after a cold day out at the footy on Sunday, I'm unsure if they're related, pain is bearable but frustrating, don't believe I have any symptoms to suggest an abcess as I've read on other forums as when I push on the site firmly it doesn't feel any different to the rest no soft or pudgy indicators, feels like a regular knot, sorry if I sound like a complete noob just a little concerned about the fever as that's usually a good sign you have some sort of infection, however don't wish to run off like a little bitch to the doctor if it's nothing, any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated,

You said glute my bad brother. Bro I also noticed that when I have bad pip I get head aches. If there is any redness and fever in the area the I would see a doc. Your not a bitch for taking care of yourself brother. Your smart.
cheers chief, I don't believe there's any leakage as the muscle irritation has gone hard as rock, so definitely feel a bitch of a knot, just been heating it and slamming anti inflams & ibuprofen which seems to help,
You never mentioned redness or fever in the area so your fine. Where are you pinning? How long of a pin. When I use a inch long needle that happens to me. It will swell but no redness or fever in the area. I've learned that the gear is leaking out and lying on top of the muscle which feels like a deep bruise. So I've switched it up to a 25g at a 1 1/2 pin. I only inject quads. I just get slight pip now. It bothers me that I know that I wasted gear because it never got fully absorbed.
you're good bro. as long as you did everything right - it all sounds like typical first time injections. it will go away in a few days.
AnonHonest to god I've had this happen and it was even red all around lump and hot and I waited a out a week and it wet away bro now if it gets bigger and you see any kind of purple streaks then to get your ass to e.r fast streaks are a huge no no if you got them mash out to doctor
not seeing any redness except when i apply heat which is to expected, just one bitch of a lump, and yeah definitely be looking out for that, will keep an eye and update in a few days
AnonGive it up to a week bro and I bet it subsides
At this point brother if the knot is firm and hard I wouldn't worry about it. I had the exact same thing when I started as well as the test flu symptoms. Take your temperature if it is an infection it will continue to rise. Otherwise I would wait at this point. I sent you a FR so if you need anymore info feel free to contact me.
appreciate it boss, I'm sure it will pass in a day or so,was just the flu symptoms that gave me any reason for concern,
Brings back memories of my first injection. Constant worrying if all is fine or not. But I believe it's just regular pip it's only been two days. Might have a little test flu to go with it. Use heating pad and a little ibuprofen and all should be good in a few days. It'll get better as you get further into cycle. But if getting checked out makes you feel better than go ahead remember its your body. Happy pinning bro.
appreciate the advice brah, yeah just got a bit nervous when I woke up this morning and was like shiiiit I'm sweating up a mighty storm
Yeah no problem bro. Just keep an eye on it. If it gets red or warm to the touch or don't get any better in a few days then I'd get checked out. But from the way it sounds believe you'll be fine.
Virgin muscle and test flu bro. It takes getting used to. Take some motrin and get to the gym.
cheers chief
no no bro first time your putting oil into your muscles yes it aint pretty and it wont feel good, hell first couple cycles still may not be used to it but its part of the game push threw it bro
cheers boss
RustyhookerDid you get into the muscle? Hot inject site? Pin size¿
cheers chief, I wasn't to sure but good to put the mind at ease from those with more.experience
& rustyhooker, definitely got into the muscle could feel it, I have two sizes 1 & 1 1/2 inch in 25g, used a 1 to start but definitely went in felt it nicer in there I think I tensed though not sure if that makes any difference but I'm quite a lean guy sitting under 14% and about 2-3 is on my stomach?
RustyhookerIf you're in the muscle then should be good. I use 1.5 but have ghetto booty. Lol! Subq leak can burn too but sounds like virgin muscles. Its good you pay attention though.
appreciate it chief, yeah I definitely pay attention no use sticking yourself and hoping for the best, that's a good way to get an infection, (:
