Shot a little low on glute abcess or not?

[NfamouS]

Okay guys so i was rushing this shot, i shot a little low 1 ml sust, i have been fine with minimal PIP i still had PIP when i took this shot and now i am worried i may have an abcess.

It is hotter than normal skin temp, no flu symptoms, tried aspirating only blood. This was from a Tuesday poke. I am very sterile wash hands, swab container and skin i also switched pins after drawing so that i had a fresh sharp one.

I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this without it being an abcess.

Also i have 150 mg Penicillin and 500 mg "Fish Amox" (which is amoxocillin you can buy on amazon)

Should i start taking the penicillin now? if so how much? the amox wont be here until monday afternoon.

I have no health insurance so i want to try and see if i can resolve this on my own.

Thanks!View attachment 565412

Nice ass....for sure too low, and if it gets more red and spreads go to the doc for your b12 shot

Thanks it's one of my greatest attributes, in many ways an ASSet. See that's the thing no insurance so i am trying to take some antibiotics to see if it will help. The area was just getting better from my last shot when i hit it again so i think it may just be serious inflammation. Any suggestion on the antibiotics?

You'll be fine I've had something similar if not the same. The bruising will stick around for some time but you will be fine.

As for the antibiotics you should use the fish amox at 500 mg three times a day.

Good lut and

Stop touching it for starters. Don't rub it, don't massage it, leave it alone. Do not put heat or ice on it. These things will bring more inflammation to the site, and make it last even longer.

It does not look like an abscess to me, it just looks like you didn't get deep enough in, and so you have an oil depot stuck in the subcutaneous layer. The redness and heat are because your body knows oil doesn't belong there, so it's sending extra blood there to "attack" the invader. Once it stops freaking out, you'll be fine.

However, if you notice spider web looking veins at the site, or if it pops open and pus erupts (a fever may be present), time to bite the bullet and see the urgent care for that nasty b12 shot gone horribly wrong.

FYI: I'd be VERY surprised if you bought legit antibiotics from Amazon. They won't even carry sharp needles, so a controlled medication is unlikely.

I've injected test pretty much all over my ass and way lower than that many times without any problems.

What size was the needle you used ?

Did you push the needle all the way in ?

Did you accidentally get unsteady with the needle while it was in and maybe it got moved around inside the muscle ?

Did you use a new needle and syringe, swab the rubber stopper and injection site with alcohol this and that ?

Pretty sure that low of an injection site is not the problem or the cause of the inflammation.

What size was the needle you used ? 25ga 1" ( i know 1-1/2 Is recommended especially since i got a fatty)

Did you push the needle all the way in ? Yes

Did you accidentally get unsteady with the needle while it was in and maybe it got moved around inside the muscle ? I have the shakiest hands in the world, i will now be shooting in delts going forward because i am not very flexible

Did you use a new needle and syringe, swab the rubber stopper and injection site with alcohol this and that ? Yes this all that

Pretty sure that low of an injection site is not the problem or the cause of the inflammation.

Hows it going any better or worse ?

Have you considered or done any quadriceps injections ?

Two days? Uhhhhhhhhhhh, an oil depot takes longer than that to be absorbed. It's usually upwards of two WEEKS for a bad subq pin to go away FYI.

 

[luckypaul]

Looks like a bruise. If it is an abscess you will know. I had one and there was question about what it was.

 

[NfamouS]

Just an update it is doing much better, damn near gone i took halfwits advice and stopped fucking with it, i was massaging it, icing it, heating it, shit i even tried putting biofreeze on it.

I left it alone, it's going away.

I shot delts last time but when i struggle to put my arm on my car window while driving it doesnt really make me feel like the alphamale i truly am.

Delts always goes smooth but debilitates me, I really would love to hit quads but i'm nervous i have really big legs and I never really know where to hit em, even though i've watched youtube videos scoured the forums and everything i am still unsure.

I just wanted to thank everyone for easing my anxiety on this one, i always freak out about "abcesses" after reading one article where it showed a guy with a huge hole in his body.

It sounds like your gear is dirty to me. I have had awful pip before. Turned out to be dirty "microwaved" shit. I'm sure people will remember the source. Also I have heard not to draw with 18g needle. The rubber stopper can flake off and end up inside your pin. (however unlikely). I still proceed on the caution side and draw with 20g and pin with a sharp new 25g 1 inch. I'm scared of 1 1/2 too don't worry. Nice thread bro good info!

Glad to hear that you're doing better.

Quads are seriously the easiest site once you figure them out. You have a "golden area of real estate" one palm width down from your hip and one palm width up from your knee. Stick to the outside edge (still on top, in the vastus lateralis!), and you should be good to go. I do a little test before I go in by pricking the area with the needle, and the spot that doesn't hurt at all gets the full needle length.

Once you get comfortable with quads, you'll find that you can actually pin in two spots easily per quad. They're a great spot, but yes - the virgin PIP will make leg day a challenge.

Only quads for me never have I ever injected anything into my ass triceps arnt too bad either
And b12 into the stomach subq just like slin and peptides easy done

 

[oldmusclemike]

Just lovin all these inputs and posts. Just so many redundant Q's and but with some difference in the circumstances. Then the vets say mostly the same things in reply but in seven or more ways to explain their experience.

Keep on reading OP and good luck, welcome aboard !!

I can't reach my ass.

Ok, I can, but my arm shakes like a bitch going behind me! I REALLY need to work on flexibility one of these days.

I don't mind reiterating on occasion Mike, it's when I see four threads about the same thing, and one has the answer that I get a little less than helpful.

Haha if people don't like the answers they get they usually keep asking the same question until they get something else even if it's not correct
Flexibility mmmm kettlebells or martial arts man
Kendo aikijitisu are the best ones out there IMO great conditioning flexibility even if your not interested in the selfdefense part of it all

yea the whole reach around is a terrible experience, my hands are shaking im flexing my lats and extending my shoulders trying to hit the little 4" space that is appropriate on glutes and it just turns out messy.
I will be going for quads next time, i really think your advice changed my entire situation thank you so much. i felt like posting a pic about the area between a palms length from my hip and knee because its huge i am 6'3 and i have really long legs but next time im just going to go for it and see how it works.
