Possible infection

This is my second cycle i am doing now. First cycle was 500mg test cyp pinned 2 times a week. Now i am doing 600mg test enth a week. But here is the thing. My wife injected 2ml into my ass cause i wanted to pin only once a week. Today is wednesday and the injection site is sore, red, warm to the touch and feels like a big lump. Can it be a infection or is it to soon to know?

probably is slightly infected, if it gets worse i would worry. Had one like yours before but it got better in a day or so.

I currently have an infection... Anti-Biotics were prescribed. The infection only kicked in 2 days after pinning.... VERY sore to sit on the cheek (Glute)... and also cannot bend down to tie my own shoelace! lol

Starting to subside now!

Just make sure a "head" doesnt form at the site... as then its an absces, and needs to be drained etc. Give its another day and then maybe go see a doc to see if it IS an infection!

Lesson learnt: Always Swab, nomatter what! If you dont have swabs, use vodka (Doctors orders)

Will do. First time i inject 2ml, maybe ass not use to it? Haha. I am a very paranoid person, so maybe it is nothing. One question though, can i get test flu 2 days into cycle or is it to early?

Testflu is known to usually hit at the very early stages of a cycle due to it being the body"s reaction to a sudden increase in hormones. So yes, 2 days is about right.

With regards to your possible infection. I would leave it a few days and if the pain persists or even gets worse then you know it may be an infection. The pain from a first time 2ml injection of test can be very painful but it will get better over time (an infection gets worse). The pain will also start rizing from inside the muscle to the surface of the skin and over time will develop a kind of 'boil' with puss - very gross. Don't play around if this happens, go straight to the doc and get anti-biotics, the longer you leave it the more chance you will have of having to have it drained or cut out.

is this the first jab that u are doing? or have u done more than one jab out of this bottle? it sounds like a high BA problem to me if its the first jab out the bottle, if u have used a couple of mls out the bottle and this the first time u've had an issue then its an infection

It is the first jab out of the bottle. It is PGW...

hmmm one of my mates had a similar issue,its just a high dose of BA then,send it back to your supplier and they will swop it out...

Will it be better if i do 1ml twice a week? Or should i just send it back?

try another shot, if its the same issue, then send it back yes it will go away,just get some ibuprofen to help with swelling and pain.

Thanx will do that. I will post if things change. Shot guys!

As long you not developing a fever you will be okay. If you get a fever its forming an abscess.

BA = benzyl alcohol? Would this mean Tremere has a bad batch?

Here's some info on Benzyl Alcohol...

Benzyl Alcohol (BA) is used to increase the lipid solubility of esterfied compounds and to prevent bacteria growth in the oil. Most UGL's use excess BA or only BA as the co-solvent, due to it's modest price. Unfortunately, it can cause the destruction of cells and significant localised pain and inflammation. The discomfort is characterised by fairly rapid onset of a painful, red, swollen area. This can be ameliorated by diluting the compound with sterile cutting oil (grapeseed, cottonseed, sesameseed). A 1:1 ratio often works well.Benzyl Alcohol in high concentrations will destroy any cell. That's what gives it the antimicrobial properties that we take advantage of when compounding oil based steroids. Users can experience this as a hard red swelling in the muscle that usually goes away after a few days. By using more benzyl benzoate then BA you reduce the chance of this becoming a problem. If you hurt to the point where you feel like you need crutches, the UGL has not appropriately compounded your oil.

Update: The swelling went down a little, most of the redness is busy going away, but pain has increased! Think it might be the BA. Doing another shot monday, will see the result.

Its a good sign that the selling has gone down. Sounds like BA...

Doesn't sound normal I'd return it... And that surgery is not pleasant having your glute cut open

Yeah, I second that.... it is very painful, the infection I had went quite deep so the doc had to dig around with the knife a bit, eina!!!

Ok will send it back. The pain is very very unpleasant!!!!!!! Can barely sit! There is still a lump, but like i said the redness is going away and the lump feels smaller than yesterday; not much but noticable.

Just make sure that lump doesnt go "soft" or feel watery... as that is a absces.

Are you taking an anit-inflamatory?

The lump is hard. Yes i am taking panamor

I think this lump is my muscle going into spasm or something. Going to drink some rubaxen (spelling) for that. It is a muscle relaxer. Good idea or bad?

You know I would have gone to see a doc quite some time back already...

The lump is oil. The doc will stick a needle into it and extract......oil.

ouch!
