I injected 2ml of test-mix in my tricep not yesterday, the day before, my arm started hurting yesterday, todays it is really painful and is all swollen.

when i did the injection there was some air in the syringe i was completely nervous about doing it and was shaking so i rushed and forgot to get the air out.

willl this sort itself out or do i need to see a doctor
 
See how it feels in the morning. I inject in my glute and sometimes it's pretty sore for a couple days. If it's still red and swollen tmrw see a doc cuz it's probably infected. Your air bubble wouldn't cause that, either un sterile injection area, a foreign object in your syringe (something in your gear or a piece of the rubber) or a dirty needle. Did you swab the injection site before AND after and use a clean needle??
 
Also that seems like alot to inject in your tri. Try doing 1 ml in each next time or just shoot your glute.
 
completely oblivious :iwdumbass

thanks, it probably was alot to do in one go because my tri's are not even that big, i only heard thats where some people do it, not thinking they have huge arms.

All ive done is six months training a couple of months a go then stopped and now im rushing into these steroids

i dont even know what test-mix 400mg is. Im just trusting the person who i bought them off.
Do you know about this stuff?

where is the glute, sorry i am new to this whole thing. i appreciate the advice.
 
WTF dude ?? always take out the air...it can be very nasty if you hit the vein with it and pump the air in it....it can promote heart attack risks if you do it very badly with lots of air bubble in the needle....not kidding here.

read as much as you can before jabbing your self.

i always take injections in the butt with the help of a doc.

if test-mix have testosterone propionate...it gives pain few times....i would avoid taking prop in triceps as much as i can...butt is always better if you can arrange doc or someone like that who can jab you with safety and cleanness
 
yeh thanks, it wasnt air bubbles it was about and 1/8 of the 2ml syringe i was well nervous and just totaly for got i know how bad it can be in a vein and i also know it cant be good in a muscle, it was my fist time

i cleaned the site before and after injection.

i cleaned the needle for use next time

should i allways use a clean everything

or because its just me usin am i ok to use it again
 
always always always clean it with alcohol bro.....always..!! no matter what...even if you are the only guy using it

you can use a needle multiple time....if its clean...but on the other hand ..i would never use a used needle again..and never never recommend anyone to re-use it..its so cheap and i like to be ..extra careful

DO NOT re-use the needle. The glute is your ass.
Test 400 means that there's 400mg of Test per 1ml,..which means you shot 800mg of test. You only need 500mg/week for your first cycle,...it sounds already like you've trusted somebody who has next to no real knowledge about steroid use.
I'm going to guess that you do not know what post cycle therapy (pct) stands for and why it's so important.

Here's a job for you, go to the list of sticky threads and start reading. The main two you need to read right now are "am I ready for gear checklist" and "proper post cycle therapy (pct)'s".

You shouldn't have rushed into this, but you're on already, so you need to get yourself educated as quickly as possible.
 
this redness and swelling is spreading up my arm im thinking of going to hospital

do you think its infected, or is it just the norm?

i thought i put it in the muscle but to be honest these not really much of one

i will read those educating post thanks
 
Yeah if it's spreading see a doc IMMEDIATELY! A little bit of air wouldn't cause that and studies show it takes 10cc's of air in your blood vessel to kill you. I still make sure there's none in mine to be on the safe side so a little in your muscle isn't gonna hurt you. Needles are cheap. NEVER re use them. Why risk it? Good advice greens ^^^. the Internet is full of info on gear. I'm running my first cycle so I'm no expert but I made damn sure I did my research BEFORE I even got my gear. Your gonna wind up fuckin up your body if you don't. Be careful, do your research, and go to the doc RIGHT AWAY before that infection Spreads more

Your first few injections are going to be that way. Especially if your test is really high concentration. It takes more irritants to break down the powder in oil so when you pin you will feel it. Expect over the next several days for the redness to get bigger and almost appear as though it's 'absorbing' into your arm. It should be completely gone within a week. If it's not gettting better in 5 days or so then def see a doc.
 
Relax. Like tgerm said virgin muscle will hurt. The tri was a bad choice for a first time and you injected way to much. Think about it. You stuck a needle into your body and put oil in it. And to much oil for that area on you it sounds like. Sometimes those blends start out painful.

Do you have a fever, is there any discharge,is it very hot to touch. I doubt you have an infection and I bet it will be like that for about a week. You need to learn a bit more. Post a pic of the irritated area. Is there a lot of swelling? Take an OTC pain med to help with the pain.
 
WOW
User has you covered.
this is a virgin site and its going to hurt like hell. the most you should start with in a tri is .5ml and work the way up to 1ml max
the T400 is a blend and will have test p in it. this is going to burn and feel like shit for a few days to a week,
relax and try to work it as best you can. dont take advice from a gym rat. they dont know shit.
and a little air isn't going to hurt. it take more then 3 ml to cause a problem.
i fact a small bubble is good to clear the pipe so you get all the goodness out.
i think most important here is to read and get a PCT planed out cause i can bet you dont have one.
 
I am on t400 at the moment not sure wot make your stuff is but the stuff I got is painfull as f**k I stop't taking two ml of it in the same spot and split it into 1ml twice a week try that the next time around . As everyone else said never re-use needles there so cheap and if you live in England there free from most pharmacys
 
Had the same problem with a tri injection. My arm was so swollen you couldn't see my elbow. No fever, not burning hot to the touch so I waited it out and within a week it was back to normal.

Icing and ibubrofen will help.
