+ 1 Lump/redness traveling from injection site, help!
Pinning 600mg teste/wk, last inject was Thursday.
Ive gotten a lump that traveled down my arm about 2-2.5 inches past my injection site in between the delt and bicep essentially, formed a lump, large area of redness/warmth on the bicep/its swelling like a sausage and beginning to look like a synthol injection gone wrong or something. It's not really hindering my movement, just sore when i flex the bicep.
Everything was sterile (always take a shower before pins, alc, new equip etc/swab vialtop) when I pinned, only thing I can remember is hitting a nerve when i went in and kind of wiggling the pin around to get past the spot that i seemed to prick (it being a nerve).
Did I smack the lymph system? Did my gear crash? Can infections travel from the pinsite? Did I irritate some muscle tissue? The lump is not a pitting edema btw, and I haven't had a fever or felt any sickness that would sometimes correlate to infection.
Should I be worried? Go to doc? Been reading a lot on all of the causes naturally and looking for some input from you experienced guys. Definitely keeping an eye on it as it's just passed the 72 hour mark.
Thanks for reading,

WithdrawlIs this the first time you've used 500mg/ml? If so, then it's probably just your body telling you that's too high of a concentration. I can't handle concentrations that high without getting the same symptoms you have.
Its more than likely its your high concentration normal is like 200mg/ml or 250mg/ml- i used 300mg/ml of test p and it would do it real bad but i still get every once in a while on 300mg/ml test E. Its seems the delts leaked out and ran down into bicep. I seem to combat this problem to leave the needle in for a few seconds after injecting so the oil wont leak back out under the skin . I did what juice123456789 did and it fixed it up fast.
Thanks for all of the replies guys, will be doing the things suggested. Hopefully this will clear up. My bicep is decently swollen though and it looks like the redness has traveled a little bit upon waking. The part that is red is slightly elevated compared to normal colored skin. Taking today off from the gym to see how things will go nursing the issue. Also no feverish symptoms yet either, just sore when flexing the bicep still.
Also my gear is 500mg test/ml.
juice12345678Heating pad or warm cloth....
Massager that vibrates (no homo) and break that sucker up....
It's not going to travel to your heart or lungs so don't worry....
*P.S.
Delts are supposed to hold 1ml of oil per arm / quads 2 ml and glutes 3 ml (I believe those are the numbers)
This could also be the problem....
Mike1982I dont have any solutions for you except maybe a little piece of mind...it happens to me everytime i hit my medial delts. Every single time. From the injection site all the way down the brachialis its stiff and warm to the touch. Goes away in a couple days everytime. This is my own experience though. If you hit a nerve you would know it. There wouldnt be any question what you hit and the pain would be immense. But if youre going in your delts its pretty unlikely that is what happened. The testosterone might have separated too fast in your muscles and formed crystals. You could be developing or be predisposed to sensitivity from synthetic testosterone. There could be a number of things that can be the culprit. Me, im just sensitive, in a way, to testosterone so ive narrowed my problem down to that. Search all reasons and go from there my friend.
get a heating pad brother and put that motherfucker on there for like 2 solid hours and take a couple grams of vitamin c total throughout the day ... i had the same thing happen to my right quad and after a good amnt of research i decided to try this and it worked beautifully. took 2 days of puttng thd heatng pad on it at night and extra long hot ass showers with the water running over my quad specifically, but it was noticably better even after the first night
Your thread gives me some hope, though I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have some old monocycline (antibiotic) laying around I've just began taking. Will keep monitoring my arm though, the redness has definitely spread it seems to have gotten a little more swollen this a.m.. It's been about 80 hours since I've last pinned the delt. Still no fever/fatigue from body possibly fighting the infection. I'll give it a couple more days and if its still worsening I'll make a trip to the E.R.
Any other advice would be great!
You will be fine bro. I had the exact same thing happen to me about a month ago. Check out my forums. I started a thread on it.
