Lump after injection...again

I have a big air pocket/lump looking thing in my glute 3 days after the injection. Hurts pretty bad to sit. It's probably some kind of an infection. No redness and it isn't hard. I might have slight fever and weakness, and it could be getting worse.

What am I doing wrong with my injections? This is the second time this has happened. The first time it was my quad two weeks ago. My whole knee swelled up like a bitch. I got fever, weakness and everything, but it went down in a week.

I do 1ml sustanon shots and leave an extra 1ml of air in the syringe to get all of the oil out. Could injecting that much air be causing this? What about not heating the oil enough, injecting too fast and moving the needle around? My lats are getting too big to do my own glute shots lol.

Would anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen speed up the healing or slow it down? I don't care about the pain, but the flu symptoms cost me valuable workouts...

Try putting a warm compress on it. Take a face cloth soak it in warm water and put it on the area. Apply a bit of pressure

I wouldn't shoot air into my body. If your worried about getting every last drop out of the barrel, just keep in mind your putting yourself though this for about 10- 25 cents.

Have ever used an unblended test, like straight E? Sometimes people reacted poorly to the propionate in that sust blend ( I think its the EO but not sure). Kinda sounds like the test flu to me. Prop isn't for everyone.
 
It's the 10th week on the cycle and it has only happened twice, so it must be a bad injection... I thought shooting air IM was a common and safe thing.

Incorrect. There is nothing wrong with using a conservation technique as he's injecting into his muscle, not intravenously.

OP, 1mL of air is WAY too much! You only need like 1/20th of a mL TOPS, just a little bubble to push the remainder through, nothing more. That bump you're getting is indeed likely some air trapped in your subcutaneous layer of tissue, and the only way for it to get out is to slowly be absorbed/aspirate through your dermis. How you're getting a mild fever is beyond me unless your body is seeing this as an infection, but if it doesn't go away - I'd talk to a doctor and say it was a B12 shot or something creative.

My .02c :)
 
3 times in a 10 week cycle I've gotten a slight lump in my glutes. the injection site is where it should be and the one shooting me is a nurse giving shots for 20+ years, she does it nice and slow so I really doubt its her technique. When I get that slight fever I swear 3 ibuprofen knocks it right out of me. The lump maintains for about a week. IT is a test E 400 that Im pinning and some have said it may be overpowered due to the UGL that makes it. ITs a minor inconvenience to me. When I pinn quads I get none of this just a lil sore

OK I guess it could be the air, because it wasn't long ago until I started shooting more air to clear the needle since it seemed like some stayed in there. I was doing considerably less before. The bubble is not the size of 1ml I injected, it's more like the size of my fist. I use 3cm 23G syringes, so I can't really imagine a 1/20th of a mL clearing the whole needle.

Btw, I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so I don't have to lie if it goes bad.

My advice never touch a needle again. Until you know what the heck your doing.

Shut the fuck up troll if you have nothing constructive to say. Don't try to act smart. What's with people like you on this board?

Interesting. My thinking was that the fever is needed for the body to heal whatever went wrong with the shot and by taking NSAIDs you actually slow down the healing process. It's a major inconvenience for me... I lost a few reps on most exercises due to the weakness today. Not sure if ibuprofen pre-workout would take care of that?

I'm using pharma gear, so it can't be overdosed.
 
I'd try it with far less air next time and see if you still have the problem. You're going to lose a little no matter how much you try, as I smash the plunger when I'm done and rub the two drops that come out on my skin lol. I guess we're just "thrifty" (ok, cheap) bastards. :D
 
I have a medical back ground............make sure all bubbles are out, use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball dab the top of the jug, use another soaked cotton ball and clean the injection site then pin..............if you happen to get a bubble in your muscle it will be absorb eventually.......... but if there happens to be bacteria on the needle or in the juice you will get a nasty infection

Thank you, this is what needed to be said... In all mt years I have never heard of pushing through air with your product, that is so fucking crazy, get all air out and sterile the area!!!
 
I'm starting to think the air caused the insane PIP I get every time. I still don't understand how a little bit of air can cause such symptoms. It feels like an abscess or infection.
 
I watched a lot of these before starting. I can't find the video where the guy used the technique I do. I didn't come up with it myself obviously. Apparently it's a lot less common than I thought.

halfwit - I wouldn't say I do this because I'm a cheap bastard. Rather OCD and like to get the exact dosage. I'm even worse with calories. :D I use amps, so I can't simply draw more to the syringe.

Anyway, to hell with this. Whatever I gained from doing this I lost thanks to the two infections. I foam rolled the shit out of my glute today and almost teared up from the pain. It got smaller and I definitely had some fever today, but it was much worse when it happened to my guad. Live and learn. My cycle isn't ending anytime soon, so no real damage done.

Haha, I hear ya - ok, I'm cheap. :p

To all the folks spreading broscience about air being used as a conservation technique being dangerous, seriously stop spreading misinformation. Injecting air into your muscles or subcutaneous tissue CANNOT cause a pulmonary embolism (the danger of IV air insertion), if anything it would cause an abscess. If I recall correctly, it takes 10cc of air to cause an embolism anyway.

FYI: This is what is being taught in nursing school currently, so lighten up. :bj:
 
My wife is a nurse and she has never in her life injected air into a patient, you need to change nursing school's bro cause they are teaching you horrible nursing practices!!! If a fucking nurse injected air into me i would flatten her with a swift over hand right and she would be eatting from a straw for the rest of her life...... DO NOT INJECT AIR IN YOUR BODY, NO AMOUNT AT ALL!!!!! AND STERILZE THE INJECTION SITE AND YOU WON'T GET INFECTION OR EXCRUTIATING PAIN AT SITE.... PERIOD!!
