Too much BA? abscess?

ad

Seeing a doctor tomorrow as I feel I may have an abscess. Pinned .5cc of test e 500 on Thur night on my right quad. Pinned the distal part of my quad as that's always recommended and pain is still the same and no swelling has gone down. Quad site is firm, warm and have been tired since Friday with body aches. Any guess as to what may be the problem? Started antibiotics on Monday.

Ordered from:

UPDATE

Here's my update guys: Quad site infection is completely cleared up now. I'm still taking some antibiotics just to be safe, but my MRI showed a little pocket of fluid that was containing the 'infection'. I think the test e500 must've irritated the muscle very much and that's what caused the reaction. I'm still pinning the test, but I finally got some grapeseed oil to combine with and it's done wonders. Thanks for all the input and hope this can serve as a fair warning to anyone that is going to run some highly concentrated test.

Had the same type of reaction to Test E at only 300mg at a time in my glutes. Red, swollen, warm to the touch painful as hell. Had to use Eq to dilute the concentration of TE so my body could tolerate it. I now only pin Test Cyp 250mg and have had no issues with the lower concentration. I assumed it was the concentration of the Test and not the ester as I had no PIP when diluted with the EQ. I saw a post here once on PIP and high concentrated oils. The body absorbs the oil much faster than the Test which in turn leaves a "crystal" behind in the muscle tissue. Due to the high concentration of "crystals" the body reacts to it as a foreign body and tries to get rid of it....just like as if you got a wood splinter under your skin. The post I read was much more detailed and scientific but I hope you get the point. I just took loads of ibuprofen and rest and waited it out and it would resolve in a week or so. Hope it gets better for you soon and if your uncertain never hesitate to get a professional opinion.

Got an ultrasound done to make sure it's not an abscess and looks like it's not. I have an mri tomorrow to get more detail. Been on antibiotics for about 48 hours now so hopefully they really start kicking in now. They hope I don't have a confirmed case of cellulitis but we'll see tomorrow. Pain has reduced (not sure if im just getting used to it now haha) but swelling looks almost the same but maybe reduced. Ill update tomorrow.

That pic along with your symptoms tells me you have some form of infection. The redness and how the edema has taken away some of your quad definition. You did the right thing by starting antibiotics. I may be wrong, but I wouldn't think regular pip from high mg injections should cause that severe of a reaction. Best of luck and keep us updated.

That happened to mt when I used test e 500 my body doesn't like high mg. Gear.
I couldn't walk for a week. Used a heating pad and took some aspirin.

I used Test Blend 400. Pinned 1ml into Shoulder and it flared up with a huge sack of Fluid which slowly moved down my Arm and was hanging off my Forearm like a giant water balloon. It was fine in my Quad although each shot was very painful for days afterwards. I had to go on a course of Oral Antibiotics to get it sorted. Personally I won't ever touch anything dosed over 275mg/ml. You got on the Antibiotics pretty quick so hopefully it will right itself after 5-7 days without any Hospital treatment.

I had same issue with 500 went away after 5-7 day pain was so bad had to take vicodins to function . Even if I only did .5cc same result . Had to switch to 300mg

I took a vicodin on fri and that helped alot as the body aches were gone temporarily. Just waiting on some GSO now though and I hope that helps alleviate the problem.

You should have taken the pic of both of your thighs, so we could see how swole it is. Some people don't like that TE 500, it is very concentrated, so it causes problems for some people.

Uploaded a new pic. It's the leg with the tattoo and you can see its more swollen than the other.

Could be test flu as well. Usually to much ba is gonna cause it to burn like a bitch when injecting it. Keep us updated though

aolmember's picture

It never burns right away but the next day it feels like acid is in the muscle now that I've dropped the mast from my pins.

aolmember's picture

Been on the same test for 8 weeks but this time around I didn't have my mast e to pair with. So it doesn't make sense id have test flu from this compound.

Bigs251's picture

Wait so when you mixed the test with mast it didn't swell?

aolmember's picture

Yep. Not one problem at all. Now im only pinning .5ml opposed to 1.5ml when I was doing mast/test

aolmember's picture

Yep. I wouldn't be so concerned if it wasn't for the body aches and lethargy as that's a sign of infection and needs to be addressed.

Everyone is running into this problem lately bro. I just posted from prop200

did it travel from injection site or is it flared up at pin site?

aolmember's picture

Its centralized to the pin site. Not spread at all. What worries me most is the body aches and lethargy I've had since fri bc of this shit.

mickey89's picture

your doing the right thing, get to the drs. I have had a flare up since Friday but mine has no redness near injection sit just patchy 2.5" under which leads me to believe this is my reaction to the p200. no fever and very little swelling just tons of pain.

do you have a fever?

aolmember's picture

Ive been taking ibuprofen since fri to stave off the body aches so not really sure.

mickey89's picture

makes two of us. heat it regardless bro. I wish you the best

aolmember's picture

Buying a heating pad today.

Read this (http://www.eroids.com/forum/general/general-talk/quad-injections-a-loveh...)

I would avoid high MG from now on. Cut the gear with something at least.

aolmember's picture

Thanks bro. I really hope it's nothing serious. Been pinning for a few years now and the pain and fatigue has never lasted this long.

Always best to get to the doc for a check and get on the antibiotics. Fortunately in the UK it's very simple to walk into a Hospital or doctors and get sorted for free. The only downside is the Lecture about the perils of self injecting and Dangers of Testosterone off prescription !!

Def will check that stack out. These symptoms make it impossible to lift as I barely have energy or mobility.
