Bad injection

[_JIM_]

I've had bad injections in the past but this one takes the cake. About a week and a half ago I injected 2 cc of oil into my outer quad about 5 inches above the knee. The next day it was somewhat painful but no big deal I did my scheduled deadlifts anyways. The day after that the injection area was really painful (not red swollen or hot) and there was a hard knot there. Fast forward to today, a week and a half later, the knot is still there and the pain is barely getting better...wtf. Ive already lost 2 leg days so far and the thought of doing a squat or deadlift right now is painful. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing, any way to accelerate the healing process???

As long as its not infected, the best cure in my experience is to suck it up and train the legs hard anyway. It will hurt at first but will probably feel much better after.

If it leaves a lump try taking a jar of warm water and have someone just roll it with pressure over the lump. It helps me out

Five inches above the knee is pretty low. I always pin quads much closer to my hip, and the thickest part of the leg. Probably about 10-11" above the knee.

I have big legs and I pin anywhere from 4 inches above the knee to 4 inches below the hip.

At least go get some anti-antibiotics from your Dr.

Heating pad for 30 minute session. This will help facilitate absorption.
