hey guys im hoping someone can help me out, i took my first injection of test Enth last friday in the afternoon in my shoulder. Since then it hurts really bad and i have a red mark all around the area and major pain. I did by accident take 2ccs instead of the 1 i meant to take but is there anything i can do to make the pain go away? is there something wrong with the fact that its red and hurts? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

How did you accidentally take 2ccs? wtf?
I can't believe you shot your delt for a first time injection. Should have done quad or glute. I haven't shot delts, but i imagine 2ccs is a lot of shit in be going in there. 2cc in my quad used to be sore for a bit, now it's fucking peachy.. no pain.
How big is the needle gauge and length?

i had my friend who is a registered nurse give me the injection. I took 2ccs by accident cause i misunderstood what my friend said to me on how to take it, he told me 2cc for the week breaking it up into 2 shots a week. I was also told that the shoulder was the best area by my friend so i was basically following what my friends had to say. Everything was sterile too, i dont know the needle size cause i dont have the syringes on me she does.

2ml in the delt is not a problem, it maybe because it's a fresh site or the needle may have moved when it was in. As long as the area is not hot, it's unlikely you have an infection
Put heat pads on it and rub the area hard and also exercise should help. If the swelling gets worse or you start to feel ill, then that's another story.
It's safe to take ibuprofen and Co-codamol at the same time, that should help with the swelling and the pain.

well heres the thing i got sick like 2 days after i took the shot and the area is hot but i dont know how it could be infected. everything i used was sterile and i used alcohol pads to clean everything. But its red and hot with alot of pain. i also have been sick since sunday so what should i do, take a antibiotic or is there anything else i can do.

OK, this doesn't make sense. You say your friend gave you the injection, but that he told you to take 2ccs broken up twice a week. I'm going to assume that he told you to break them up, and didn't administer the shot, you did. If a reg'd nurse gave you the shot, I would have less of a reason to think it was screwed up.. but if you did it for your first time, well then ... yeah.
It might just hurt because it's your first time.
If the area goes red, and swells, and you get a fever, I'm pretty sure those are all signs of infection. No?

An abscess is a localized collection of pus in any part of the body that is surrounded by swelling (inflammation).

I wouldn't worry too much mate, I had the exact same thing happen to me in the delt about a month ago.. I felt abit of a tingle as it went in aswell, probably brushed past some nerves or something. But anyway the next morning it had swollen up abit, had a red rash around it and was just about to painful to wear a shirt. The area was also red hot to touch but after about a week it had gone and was back to normal.. I think I had shot the wrong sort of area on the delt, towards the front instead of smack bang in the middle.. Just about all the workouts that week made it flame up again but after 7 days it was back to normal. It doesn't have anything to do with the 2cc's either, that is by no means too much to hit the delt with..

If it's red, hot and your feeling ill then it sounds like an infection and you need antibiotics. Did you take the ibuprofen and Co-codamol as I told you and did that help?
I'm not sure what country your in but I'd go and see a doc. In the UK it's not a problem, but in the States, perhaps someone here could give you advice on what to say.
Are you sure about the gear? maybe that is the cause of the infection.
You must not take chances with this!!

are you using stealth gear that comes in sachets? that stuff is the only gear that has done that same thing to me and i will never ever even look at it again. if not and you have good quality human gear you might want to keep taking a strong antibiotic and have the nurse friend who shot u look at it. even when you think you did every thing sterile shit can always happen.

man, i have these symptoms after most shots, but it depends on the gear. zephyr is right with the heating pads, i live by them. try taking some benadryl and exercising and massaging it, if its swelling put ice on it. everyone has bad shots man, i promise you'll be ok. abscess are an extreme fear of mine and if you made sure everything was sterile, you're fine. secondly, never fucking take these drugs based on what a buddy says. stay on here, go get some books and learn how to do it right. i cant tell you how many people fuck themselves up by going by what a buddy says, you are doing some heavy and dangerous drugs man, make sure you know what you are doing. next time wipe the tops of the vials with alcohol, your hands and the area of injection. draw THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL into the syringe and heat it using any technique (hot water, blow dryer, space heater...). make sure to aspirate and massage the area after the injection. i really hope you didnt give yourself an abscess.

Hey man, dont know if this helps, only done 1 cycle myself... But on my 2nd shot 1cc Test and 1cc Tren, the following day my delt went red, really hot and rock hard! The swelling went halfway down my tricep! I took a couple of piriton!! Thought I was allergic or something! The swelling and pain went inside of the week.
Everytime a friend of mine pins his delt it does the same and the swelling goes away after a week, so he just pins his glute now and doesn't have any hassle!
