this is a pic of me...the abcess was the result of a corked buttock due to sport. the site was the same site i used every once in a while for site injections.
the pain got worse and worse to the poiint where i couldnt walk and painkillers werent working much. i admitted to hospital with a 41C temp and scepticemia. apparently another 24-48 hours and i wouldve been dead.
they drained the wound and i spent a week in a ward.
the collateral damage was my nervous system and it destroyed nerve endings in my right calf, right pec, right trap, right quad.
that ended my weight training aspirations for good. irreversible damage. If it's worth it to do this stuff- and i was really clean BTW..then go for it.
looking backj i really regret that whole episode in my life.
