Title: possible abcess, went to doc today
Post by: BigFish on April 20, 2007, 02:26:27 PM
So i'm about 10 weeks deep in a 15 week cycle of 400mg Deca/500 mg sust per week.  i pin half every Friday and the other half either Monday night or Tuesday morning.  I only pin in my glutes and rotate e/o injection.  This past Monday after i pinned i felt fine, just a little sore on Tuesday.  Wednesday it got worse and by Thursday (yesterday) my whole right cheek felt swollen and i was in some serious pain.  Last night i started getting the chills and this morning woke up drenched in sweat.  I'm assuming i had a fever and it broke.  Initially i thought it was just some prop pain from the sust but my blend only has 30 mg in it.  After reading a bunch of threads i started worrying that it was an abcess so i went to the doc today.

She said that it looks proportionate to my left glute and that she doesn't see any visible red or pink marks so she doesn't think it's infected but she made me get some blood tests to peep my white blood cell count because she said the AAS may be supressing my immune systems ability to fight it if it is in fact infected.  I go back Monday for the lab results.  in the meantime she recommends that i ice it and take hot baths.

Here's my questions....

Some of what she said sounds contardictive of what i've read.  Why would i take hot baths?  If it's inflammed wouldn't that cause any swelling to intensify?  Also, if i'm pinning with a 1 1/2 needle deep into the glute there may not be any visible signs of pinkness or redness right?  any thoughts?

Hot water relaxes and loosens up the skin, I dont think it would intensify the swelling

Just hang on till monday till the results come back, unless it starts hurting like a bitch and gets totally inflamed

Delts are easy and painless. I do Tris now and then w/ a 5/8" 25ga.
If your  lean there are lots of quad spots for that same size pin.

I can't do over 1'' there (delts). 25ga hurtz lessN 23's. Less bleeding.
But, If you ever use Stanoz, it requires 23's minimum (or dilute it). Cant push it thru a 25 well.

All Depends how big, and how much bodyfat a person has. And the particular muscle.
Glutes I use 1" or 1 1/2''.

Sometimes I use insulin pins for 1/2cc shots. Pull the plunger and fill from the back.Works fine on very thin skin areas.

Even if you rehit glutes, move around. Medical/ nursing books @ 2nd hand book stores have good Pics.

try sicking yourself with an 18g 1.5" pin. I had to do this for a wk once and I'm talking about a wk of everyday injections of prop and tren-a. I hadn't kept a close eye on my pin supply and let myself run out of pins and all I had left were the 18g I use to draw the oil out. Just to clarify, an 18g leaves a gigantic hole and produces a good bit of blood.

 :-[ that would hurt.but I dont see how a 25g hurts thats like nothing.I would never use a 18g.just looking at how thick it is makes me want to pass out let alone shove it in my arm      I am glad I load up on pins.

I think the best way to solve an abcess is to pull a greg valentino make sure you drop your in on the ground and make sure its previously used then drain the abcess with it lol jk bro you did the right thing going to the doctor did they give you anti biotics or no.

After you drop it on the ground; If you blow on it 2 times and shake it you can use it.

Yep, but honestly even though it left a bit of a hole, it did not really hurt anymore then any other pin size. Even so, it's not something I plan on making a habit of.

no antibiotics.  she wants to see me on Monday and then go from there.  I've been icing it like crazy and it feels a bit better today.  I can actually walk without looking like i got a stick up my ass anymore.

Some shots can just plain hurt like hell. I did a quad awhile ago that hurt for over a week.
