PIP or Infection?

I outlined the original mark in red. This is after I had heating pad on it, roommate rubbed it and stretched me out. (He's an athletic trainer)

Ordered from:

I get this when I use high milagram products like Test E 500 or Blends with high milagram consentrations. It will travel down your arm and become hot and hard and maybe move towards your bicep. After a week it usally is gone. I stick to no more than 300mg per CC and everything is cool.

Yea it was a really high concentration. But it turned out to be cellulitis. Fuck me right?

I had some issue with delts, it was my 3rd pin on right shoulder and it turned super red. It was a little swollen and hard, talked to a friend who is a doc and said its bound to happen. Foreign object insertion will cause swelling and redness, also i was moving the pin a bit.
Same gear in quads = no pip or redness whatsoever.. go figure?

I'm going to try my quads next pin

I pinned some hg test and 1-test in my ass and it looked like this. The inflammation and swelling was the size of softball. And it was red too. But it was not because of the gear. My pinning technique was terrible because I couldn't reach. Moved the needle around way too much as it was in me.

Had this with prop on my first pin... it went away as my body got used to it. Thats just me, and can't comment on being infection or not. Good luck figuring it out.

Heating pad, NSAID's, and antibiotics if you can get them. Leave the pad off for a bit and let the discoloration from the heat subside. Then reoutline the swelling/discoloration portion. Watch it for a day or so. If it spreads go to the dr. Tell him you're not sure what happened; think you may have been bitten by something. DO NOT let him document AAS in your medical records.

Went to urgent care and was straight up about shooting roids. Why not tell them?
Got antibiotics. I'm gonna let them run their course before I try the gear again.

Bc if they document the use of AAS in your medical records, it will follow you the rest of your life. Your insurance companies will now be privy to that fact, and certain levels of coverage could be denied to you. There's a hundred other things you could have said to still get antibiotics.

Eh i'd rather just be honest so they know ya know? I'm more nervous bout my next pin now.

Bro you need to go to the doc ASAP. I'm assuming you pinned in the delt so if the redness has spread that far you need to get your ass to the doc. It looks like cellulitis to me which can eat your muscle.

idk about cellulitis but when i do my delta at the start of my cycle i usually get this redness from gear as my muscle adjust to having synthetic hormones in them especially a couple days later as the oil travels down my arm. in MY experience this normal to me. is this the first time you've pinned in the delts?

I actually stopped pinning my delts because of an issue like this. Had a batch of gear that did it to both shoulders but not the glutes or quads. Weird thing. Sides last about 5-7 days for me. Sucks but it is what it is.

yeah my muscles eventually get use to it. its just part of the game and the fact that when i do short esters i need the injection sites lol
