How's it lookin' bro?
How's it lookin' bro?
Sounds to me like you got an infection. I had an infection in my shoulder but the actual lump didn't appear where I pinned, it was lower. Went to the doctor and it was a bad infection. He cut it open and drained it and had to pack it with gauze to heal. I'd go back to the doctor and let him check it out and possibly drain it before it gets too bad.
Stupid question, but Why cant you just tell the DR. you took steroids?
I live in Canada too, and my buddy straight up told his dr he was taking/gonna take steroids and she couldnt do shit about it.
Something about it going on file. Could bite me in the ass, I don't want to take the chance. I'm applying for the military too, so that could cause some issues. I'm actually heading in right now, I'll keep you guys posted.
ya it could be swollen-could be gear made cheaply-or not cooked long enough-yada yada-could be anything
if your doc even thought their was a chance it was infected he prolly would have put you on some antibiotics
if i somehow were to get infection-i would prolly treat myself with some keflex-or what is called fish flex
its a fish antibiotic you can get real cheap- cephalexin is prescirbed for chest infections and tissue infections.
1500 mg a day would prolly do it
keep in mind thats what i would do-and i do not advise anyone to treat themselves medically
everyone says you would have fever if you had an infection. Not to mention it would be spreading to your chest by now if it was. I get those knots all the time bro, my pin from last thurs (quad) it just about healed up. It could be a sterile absess not an infection. My whole thigh was swollen, red and had a big knot a couple inches away from injection site. It goes away 7+ days and I'm using test c also.
I think your over reacting redness is going away, infection would be still spreading. Also you pinned 2cc into virgin muscle, it will be all good bro, but if you want to go to the er then go.
Hey surfdog. Thanks for the advice. I went in last night, the doc prescribed me an anti biotic called cephalexin. It's been 8 days, I can't afford any more time off work or the gym for that matter. Doc said it should show signs of clearing within 48 hours. I'll give you guys an update later tonight or tomorrow.
I ordered some BP gear, I am excited to try it. Heard many great things about it. Thanks guys.
Jesus, it's about time! Now for my next question: What length pin did you use? It was a delt injection, correct?
poly
