anyone had an abcess? how do u get the courage to PIN again at different spots?
right now im recovering from a glute abcess at my injection spot.
what opinions can you give on getting the courage to continue pinning?
im bummed out and seriously think of throwin in the towel
it's scary cos only after 4 days of PIP post injection pain, I on a hunch decided to goto the hospital...and I had an abcess. I thought it took a while to form
i didn't even have a fever!
the doc said it was a "substantial abcess"
*I am mainly looking for some words of encouragement and useful info. (in exchnge your gettin useful info on my experience with abcess). this is an area of steroid side effects really not known too mjuch about
cos it's very rare but it does happen even if u are sterile as shit
u might suggest that I wash the hardwood floors of my room and disinfect it entirely with a spray disinfectant?
it really sux cos im at week 10 of my cycle at 500 mgs/test per week every 3 days.
i wass supposed to pin 250 mgs/test this week until 3-4 more weeks then start PCT
*the following is an important question btw:
since i have some anti-biotics for my current abcess can I just continue pinning (till the end of my current cycle) without fear of another injection?
here's the background info.:
START
"I just came back from an abcess surgery in my glute AT THE E.R. OF A LOCAL HOSPITAL. IT'S NOW SUNDAY 1/27/13
effin unbelievable!!!:
Call it what u will, (absess drainage) it's still surgery..they stuck a long ass Lido-caine needle and via IV fed me 2 anti-biotics...and a knife was used to scrape the glute and remove the abcess via 2 plastic drainage tubes.
2 tubes were used. I had 2 tubes FILLED UP TO CAPACITY of what looked like Tar from my glutes.
My PIP happened 4 days ago after penetrating the injections spot 7 days ago. To which it was painful to sleep on my right side..so painful I'd have to groan an "Ow" The PIP pain snuck up on me on the 4th day---it was a creeper, it was slow---that's what happens with high conc. gear.
(see below for more details)
I used a 1.5 inch pin. and hit the right glute, the Test was high concentration gear at 400mgs/mL. I only injected .6 mL in that glute area which is 250 mgs of Test. I pushed it slow. I sterilized before the shot with an alcohol pad, I sterilized after the pin with an alcohol pad.
NO pain on penetration...no pain 3-4 days later, then BOOM ON THE 5TH DAY i HAD trouble sleeping on my right side cos my butt hurt (the injection spot).
It was pinkish, puffy and warm.
On a hunch, I decided to go to the doctor when the PIP (post injection pain) hadn't even lasted 5 days.
Am I glad I went cos like I state several times, it was only at day 5 where I felt the PIP, today was day 7 of the unbearable PIP--which means I had the PIP for day 5, day 6, & day 7 (only 3 effin days!)
The doc looked at it and said this was not a normal injection site reaction..it was hard to the touch....he used scalpels, and some drainage tubes. He told me I had "significant abcess".
I even have to come back in 1 day and a half to see with ultra-sound if the abcess has totally gone or somehow re-generated like the Effin Blob!
The nurse told me that abcesses can be common with frequent IM injections.
I told her I sterilizzed my tools well...
She said: well you might not have hit the muscle and the Test might have interracted outside the muscle and formed an abcess
BUT WITH MY AFORESAID 1.5 INCH NEEDLE AND PIN TO THE GLUTE NONE OF THE TEST OOZED OUT...
what's worse---I did not have a fever with the triage nurse when he took my temperature.
what's worse than that??....I didn't even have any symptoms of hot and cold, chills, etc.
what's even worse than those above 2 if that's even effin possible?!
The abcess could have spread to my hip bone I guess or my tail bone---what then??!!! Then she said some crap about "Septic" which sounds like the stuff used to clean homes from toilet refuse...But I guess in medical terms is an abcess that has worsened so much that can actually kill you.
Upon leaving he prescribed me 2 oral anti-biotics in additon to the Vikodin.
The doc was upset and said you can't do this anymore.
