Author Topic: possible abcess, went to doc today (Read 2192 times)

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?

you dont have a abcess.

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

Need to rotate shots around. Delts, quads too.
U will Build up a pile of unreleased oil if you keep hitin same spot.

BigFish · « **Reply #4 on:** April 20, 2007, 05:35:13 PM »

yeah i definitely think that's what happened. cause i haven't been hitting any other areas just the glutes.

trab · « **Reply #5 on:** April 20, 2007, 05:40:47 PM »

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.

BigFish · « **Reply #6 on:** April 20, 2007, 06:34:35 PM »

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.

SPRINKFSU · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2007, 09:57:05 PM »

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.

trab · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2007, 10:17:39 AM »

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

You were sticking yourself with 18g's for a week. You are the man.

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.

Overload · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2007, 01:09:08 PM »

Damn, i thought a 21g left a hole!

trab · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2007, 01:38:02 PM »

I dont even like to put a 18ga hole in the rubber stoppers.
18ga is getting close to casing nail size!

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