red swelling injection site.

[deniz]

Took a shot of testosterone enanthate and propionate together into my right glute for the first time 2 days ago. I felt light headed straight after the shot. There was no pain though. The injection was done well accept that i started rubbing it with my bare hand till my friend told me not to.Also no blood came into the needle during injection but a little bit came on my hand when i rubbed is that normal. Also i got a fat ass could it be from not injecting deep enough.

Started feeling a burning sensation every now and then through out the day nothing painful and not often. Eventually felt painful to the touch kinda like a bruise. By morning it was swollen at the injection point. I also had diarrhea and felt dizzy through out the day. Diarrhea was mostly gone today and i wasn't dizzy at all. I think diarrhea might be due to changing my diet to fast as i lowered my calories today and it got better cant say for certain. Also some of it was black i looked it up and found blueberrys can cause it which i had with breakfast that day. Swelling remained the same and if im not mistaken it seems to have slightly reduced in size since morning by a very little. i seen an idea about drawing a circle around it to see if its growing or shrinking probably do that after my shower. Also felt like i had a fever at work but it was kinda hot and i was paranoid. Also no fever now. The redness seemed to spread downwards from the injection site in a circle. It was also soft to the touch at first and is now kinda hard today. Pain seems a bit less today but not 100% sure. As for warm it is a little bit warmer then my other glute but not a huge difference.

Would you see a doctor or give it another day or 2 and see if it gets worse since its only been 48hours since injection. Also planning on another shot of prop today not sure if i should go through with it. Most likely will though since i seen a lot of threads about prop causing similar things but i have yet to see someone describe my symptoms and they do sound like an infection which is whats worrying me.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Is this your first ever cycle? What size pin did you use? Do you know if your gear contains EO? You will likely get some good advice on here but never substitute it for a doctors evaluation if you suspect you have something serious going on at an injection site bro.

Yeah first cycle. Im not sure on the pin size my mate handles everything for me ill ask him when i see him today. No idea whats in the gear. Still the same size today however its no longer red just looks like a dark patch of skin is that a good sign.

its most likely just virgin muscle pain.... u may have gone through a vien as well which would cause discoloration of ur skin. u should be fine. ive done hundreds if injections and every now and then i will get a painful one that will swell up and hurt like hell for a week. remember u r breaking ur bodies defence with a needle alot can happen. even with the most careful techniques.

Thats what I was thinking too. Either virgin muscle pain or maybe EO sensitivity or a bit of both.

Typical prop flu/pip. I dropped prop because I got that sick fever feeling along with bad pip every pin. Just stick to test e

found out its 23 gauge needle. I know some one else on the same gear as well he got the fever symptoms but i don't think he got the swelling he still got a cork though. My mate thinks its a normal reaction to the prop and told me to just massage it.

I also noticed the lump were the injection site was is now gone just the redness around it is left looks less obvious now. Cheers for the advice.

Also the injections were 1ml of prop and 0.5ml enanthate could it be the size of the injection.

I initially missed the note about you using prop in your post. That probably does have a lot to do with it. Was also wondering about needle size thinking maybe you didnt go deep enough if you used a 1" to pin glutes.

For glutes I like to use a 21g 1.5" although there's nothing wrong with a 23g too. I stick to quads though which lets me use a 23g 1" What your describing sounds like typical virgin test/prop flu/pain. Try using a 1.5" next time and see how that works for you, may help keep irritation and knotting down on the injection site.

shrunk by half an inch and looks much better. Although when i touch it i get freaked out cause the lump feels huge. 2nd shot of prop no swelling or fever just my shoulder hurts like fuck which made work feel even worse.
