Glute: knot + crippling pain

[cftcft]

I'm on week 5 of my cycle of 500mg Test E and 400mg Deca (both ************* **************) per week. Last Thursday I did my bi-weekly injection of 250Test/200Deca into my right glute using a 1.5" 23G needle. I went deep with only 1/8" of needle still visible, and I pushed the 2ml of oil in very slowly. On removal there was some blood, but not a lot. One day later there was some mild soreness. Two days later I couldn't walk. Although the glute looks normal (there is no visible bruise or any discoloration), it feels like a golf ball is in the muscle. It is extremely hard and painful. There is slight swelling extending up to the tailbone area. It has now been 5 days and there is no improvement. I had to skip my Monday lifting and I cannot sit down (including desk, car, etc.), lie on my back/side, or walk properly. I've had soreness before but this is by far the worst.

I've read some threads of people who've had similar experiences so I'm wondering if there's anything I should do other than take ibuprofen, use a heating pad, and suffer through it. Also, what could have caused this and how can I avoid it in the future?

Thanks!

At the very least you clipped a blood vessel. Not much you can do at this point.

Try a different spot and suffer through it.

After a glute shot try riding a bike for a while as it helps to spread the oil and shrink or even eliminate lumping.

Am I right in assuming that it was the 5th injection in 5 weeks in the same spot?

You need to try new/rotate injection sites.

Also I don't know about the rest of the guys but with me i can do a half dozen shots no problem then every once and a while and i cant explane why but every once in a while i'll do a shot that for the next 3 days hurts like someone gave me a real hard punch in the leg like a charlie horse if you will. I think sometimes it's just the way you go in or maybe like Strega said a blood vessel gets nicked who knows but it's the price we pay right.

I have the same problem. In the past cycle I put all 24 shots (2 a week) in the same spot, and not a single problem. I have now switched to test e and EQ. I have a huge knot that now has become a bruise about 3 inches in diameter. Im assuming this will go away in time. When should I start to worry?

I shoot twice a week and alternate glutes. So neither glute is getting stabbed more than one a week.

Thanks for the responses, guys. How long will it take to get better and should I be worried if it takes longer?
