Abscess?

[guardianactual]

I feel like this had to have been asked like 1000000000 times..

Ok, so I shot into my delt like always.. this was a few days ago. I slin pinned TNE anyway, it bulged up, it always does. . But it hasnt gone away. It is warm to the touch, hurts alil, def shot into scar tissue. I had something similar before, I think back then it was into a vein or something def no a clean IM shot, only that was with IGF1 and let me tell you my arm grew over an inch about 3 days later it was normal....

Anyway, question is, when is it a medical emergency? Like when does it go from, leave it be and it'll be fine to, get your as to the hospital or you are gonna be fucked? Lmao

that becomes a very good question, but i really think to some degree it has a bit of personal choice involved with going to the er. i know i've been concern about different things at times, and on occasion went to the er to make sure, but that's rare. if it starts getting worse, i'd consider it more seriously.

i pinned my quad the other day with tren, prop, and npp and the same thing happened pretty much. i pinned a little lower than usual and it's still tight and swollen today. i pinned it wed, but it's better. i think working out yesterday helped, but it still hurt like heck.

if you pinned it with sterile technique, i would say chances are very good it's not an absess. which ever you decide guardian, i hope you're feeling better soon.

you say you'got scar tissue there as well. if you've been pinning it awhile that could present with problems as well. scar tissue does not absorb well or get good circulation to it. i've also pinned shoulders with 1/2" pins and they've hurt me more than using one inch. for me, i find it less painful to get deeper into the muscles. just some thoughts on it. i know you probably know this, but if you're like me you forget sometimes.

said it once I'll say it again-don't take the chance go to the minute clinic and get on antibiotics to be on the safe side

I tend to go by the 3 day rule. If it is still red, hot, and raised after 3 days, to the medic I go. Safe > sorry with that, in my book.

If you don't have any antibiotics on hand, you can always run to your farm supple store and pic up some fish mox. Same thing as augmenten.

well I'm guessing now is a good time to start using 1 inch needles to by pass all the scar tissue. Or find a new spot. Back when I was injecting a lot I started using my rear delts, and had no issues, did a inch and would go 2cc in them. If your pinning yourself I that may not be an option. Maybe the leg? I was to scared to go anywhere in the legs.

 

[guardianactual]

Yeah I shot there with a slin pin. Mainly bc it is pretty scarred up and a friend said slin would work. Yup, hurt like a bitch there after. Longer needle could be what I need. My primarys are 1"

I think I need 1.5 for glutes correct? Little off topic lmao

 

[guardianactual]

I loathe shooting legs. Just not for me lmao my girl does my shots most of the time

 

[pgb]

so easy to get off topic isn't it. lol. nice your girl does your shots. my wife doesn't do mine at all, so i've gotten pretty good using just one hand, right or left. although, my wife probably would if i really needed her to. she's been real good and on board with this.

i usually use one inch on my legs. i have used 1.5 inch, but i have a bit of muscle on my thighs. just have to watch hitting nerves. i insert slow and know if i'm hitting a nerve. if i do, i just move the pin a bit and continue. you could use other muscles as well. lats, bis, etc. i don't recommend forearms or calves.

only things i use 0.5 inch pins with is peptides. i ran deca once with 0.5 and it hurt pretty bad.

You can use 1" if you are lean enough.

Oh yeah short shots hurt. Trapping it between fat and muscle is a bitch esp prop... fuck lmao.

Any point should I worry about the abcess? Cuz I dont have medical insurance atm and I feel ok now, but it definitely is swollen and shit. I can get antibiotics...
