I understand that some shots are going to be a little painful, but I took 1 cc of QV test E 250 wednesday, and my entire right quad is swollen, and I have a 3 inch red circle around my injection site!!

I couldn't sleep wed. night, and could barely walk yesterday. I can't even see my knee, it is just one big round swollen mass! Tha t can't be normal.

And I've already used 7cc,s from this bottle, without any pain until this shot. Could I have gotten some bacteria in the bottle?

yes, go see a doc ASAP. Infections spread rapidly and can get out of control and dangerous within a day. If the site is red, swollen and warm, you've most likely developed cellulitus and will need an antibiotic like augmenten right away.

Thanks guys. I'm going today. The swelling has gone down a little, I can almost make out shape by the knee, but I still have a hard lump about 2 inches around the original shot site.

BSBW might have hit it right on the money did the same after a tri inject used all the proper techniques and still got cellulitus a tetnus shot and oral antibiotics had me cleared up in about a week
