Problem, possible infection? Test-E

[ronnie2010]

Ok so here is the deal. I about 4 and 1/2 weeks into a Test-E cycle. I have been rotating my shots from my glutes to my quads. So I have 4 spots to choose from.

I am using Geneza. The first vial is out so for my last shot I moved onto a new vial.
So the second vial is the same lot number with the same expiration date...basically it is exactly the same label as the first one.

Here is the difference. The first vial was very clear....as clear as water. The second vial has a slight yellow tinge to it. Not dark but definately noticable compared to the first vial. So I just figured that different oils were used and said oh well and I went ahead and injected 1cc into my rear.

Now to go back..the first few injections I had were pretty painful but by the 4th one it wasn't to bad and I could manage it pretty good. I do everything. I warm up the syringe a little and use alcohol on top of the vial and on the site. I also switch needles before I inject. I also message the area for a min or two after.

So now here is the problem, after this first shot with the second vial (3 days ago)....my freaking ass KILLS. I can barely sit down at all. It is starting to get a little red in the whole general area and kind of hard. The pain really sucks. I don't have a fever but I have been feeling kinda crappy all day. Don't really wanna eat or lift. Which is a horrible combo.

Please ask what you need and let me know what you think.

Doesn't sound like an infection, just an inflamatory response to the BA or gear.

I hope your right. This is day 3 and I think the pain is worse. Usually by day 3 I feel almost nothing. So why do you think the color would be different if it was the same batch? Any thoughts? What signs of infections should I look for in the next day or two?
I forgot to mention it is also swollen.

Agreed.. most test does have a very slight yellow look to it.. but in likelihood it is just the BA. Some UGL's print 10,000 labels at a time but only make say a 1000 or so per batch and put the same label on it.. so they might have burned the oil a bit causing the oil to be a bit darker in color.. they could have used a bit more alcohol on it as well.. Even if the oil was burned BA has a ridiculously high melting temperature and just a small amount of that stuff will keep the oil sterilized. BA in raw form will damn near eat the paint off the wall.

 

[Yes]

I bet it feels like someone stabbed you in the ass with a pencil and broke it off.

I had that from gear once. I don't know if it was the oil or the compound but it had a lump the size of a hockey puck. I had to get a second vial of gear from another source and mix them. After that it was fine.

That is actually a good way to describe it. It hurts like hell. I have another vial well I have a few more...I was considering cracking into another one to try it out. Not really looking forward to this next shot though. But of course I don't wanna stop now. I just really started noticing some strength gains. Which is of course normal because I am over 4 weeks in. I also wanna screw the shit out of everything.

 

[Yes]

I feel for ya bro. That shit is no joke...
Do they all have that dark looking color ?
If you do another injection, don't do a quad. You won't be able to walk.

No the first vial I already went through was pretty clear. Actually now that I look at the others I have...the rest are pretty clear too. Only the second one I opened that has that slight tinge of yellow to it.

I've had injection sites turn red and swell a little if I didn't inject deep enough. I have used 1' needles to inject in glutes and about half the time I get redness and swelling. I switched to 1.5 inch needles and haven't had a problem since.

Perhaps you didn't go deep enough? Otherwise, it could be that the second batch has higher ba concentration.

Oh I went deep enough for sure. I buried the 1.5 inch needle. I find it hard to turn enough to see the rear so I have my wife watch it for me. She won't do it but she will watch lol...go figure. Either way I could see in the mirror that it was all the way in so that shouldn't be it. Thats how I did the whole first vial without to much issue.

As far as the ba concentration...yea that might be it. I sure hope this pain in the ass goes away soon. Still red and swollen and like "YES" said earlier...mine is also about the size of a hocky puck but the redness is alot bigger than that.

Well if anyone has any other thoughts just post away. I will have to get back to you tomorrow.

 

[Yes]

Go with the clearest one you have and make it a glute injection.
If that all goes well return the darker ones. If you can't return it you will have to mix them all. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

If you ever find out, I would really like to know what causes that. It's very painful and it's going to be around for about 2 weeks.

2 weeks! Aww not looking forward to that.
Well thanks for the advice. I am going to try a clearer one today.
I am feeling nauseous today and kinda weak. I also have been sleeping like crap for the past 2 days which isn't normal either.

 

[ronnie2010]

Ok just an update. My ass still hurts but I think it feels a little bit better. But only a little. I do feel better today though overall so that is good. I did another shot yesterday. So far only the normal day after pain. Like a "tightness feeling" I will be able to tell more tomorrow.

 

[ronnie2010]

Last update for anyone that was following. The lump and the pain is completly gone from my ass. Actually it has been gone for a few days now. The next shot I did I actually used the same vial and I had almost no pain the next few days.
I must of did something wrong on the one that hurt. Maybe I moved the needle around alot in my glute shot. I have a hard time turning that much to get back there. Either way all is well now. Thanks for your help all, it helped put my mind at ease.
