Hey guys, first post here. I'm sure you are all tired of infection questions because there is a ton of literature on them, however I just want to be SURE as I don't want chunks of my glute getting cut out.
I'll just sum this up for you guys. Test E 350mg a week split in two .5ml injections Monday and Thursday. Alternating glutes and quads.
1. Did everything correct, swabbed stopper and injection site, used clean needles, never let needles touch anything etc.
2. HOWEVER, my buddy injected me and could have touched something that shouldn't have been. I wasn't watching.
3. Had bad pain for 4 days and now tolerable pain today on the 5th day.
4. When I woke up today it was red and what looked to be slightly purple in a five inch diameter around the site.
5. Now, the redness is pretty much gone, just slightly pink, still some discomfort, tissue is harder than the other side, location is NOT hot, but I have a 99.1* fever.
The main reason I'm posting my own thread is because I read that infections cause lumps, redness, heat, fevers, and general crappy feeling. This morning I felt crappy, but it's not THAT red, and it's not hot (my friend had a bad spot on his glute that was noticeably hotter) though I do have a slight fever.
I took some Amoxicillin today (2 doses of 500mg) just because I had them laying around.
What to do? At what point should I be concerned?
