DESTROYED MUSCLE TISSUE FROM INFECTION?

[flexmaster]

can anyone vouch for this statement by weight77? is this really true that an infection will kill all muscle tissue it touches? i am wondering because i inj. 1ml of prop in both my tri's a long time ago (about 1 1/2 years), and both tri's ended up getting infected. my tri's are my worst bodypart by far, i have seen very little growth in them compared to the rest of me, could this be the reason? any thoughts are welcome...

Thanks guys. But there is really nothing to go for without legs..My legs were infected last may (the 9th) and have not made much progress at all..once the area is infected all the tissue it touches is destroyed. this left me with only scar tissue filling the area. This has been my only set bak and has been very depressing. I am still trying to fill out the areas but have not had much success..infection will destroy a physique..I only hope I have some tissue deep down to work with..only time will tell..

I don't know if it 100 % true but I have had few infections over time and they have recovered but slowly

Boy Ive had one now (my first ever in 10yrs of straight cycling),
and its been 2mo and I still have alot of edema and slight sensitivity
(not really pain) in the vastus lateras site. I have one leg with cross
striations and one leg with virtually no cuts at all. Mobility and strength seems 100% again. I had bad pain and very compromised flexability
the first 2wk, along with fever. Been on strong antibiotics for 60days,
and taking 200mg iron ED because internally I seemed to have alot of bleeding
- low hemoglobin. Dr said that may take 6-12mo to return to normal. Im also really wondering how the hell long it will take...

Damn - I hate to hear that. Are you taking any probiotics to try and restore some of the good bacteria that's getting killed off by the antibiotics?

Do you mind saying what it was that caused this - water or oil based, mex or UG or ?

did you do anything special that helped do you think? ie. training less/more frequently, higher or lower reps, seo, site inj. ??? or did it just take time? i would imagine it just took time right?

Xcel-taking yougart; can you talk about probiotics?
It mas a mix of stuff, so Im not sure what caused it.
Its really not a problem anymore, although the moderate swelling
is still apparent. I was on the antibiotics, 30d; Off 30days; On 30d more.
That should be all. Have seen Dr and he is confident it will be OK and only notify him if it re-sweels or hurts again. I do need a new blood scan for the hemo in 6-8wks.

Thanks for you concern BK and X.

Was both oil and water in your mix?

I'll go and get the "correct" info from my health food store. But here's what I recollect - you want to only get acidopholus that's kept in the refrigerator at the store (and at home) with the highest strength, which is either units or iu (don't remember). My store carries several different brands including their own, which is stronger and much less expensive than name brands. I'd take double dose since you've been on antibiotics. I need to get some and I'll take single dose as I've just recovered from 7 days of diarrhea

Probiotics just help restore bacteria that's destroyed from things like antibiotics.

 

[MikeS]

Thanks Xcel; yes thats the stuff in yougart. I will get some right soon!

combo

Mike super acidophilus(twinlab) like Xcel said and Nutraflora(FOS), 1 is good for the digestive tract and the 2nd is good for intestinal and colon health. take both on a empty stomach(double dose) through out the day and even when you get up in the middle of the night take both and watch the effect

 

[DOGMA]

Yes

Infections can become nacrotic and kill tissue leaving scars and voids in muscle and other tissues. Its rare and most infections are treated long before this happens but yes it is possible. It can even occour with untreated sterile abcesses. Just ask your Doctor...

 

[MikeS]

Xcel-hey bro mine was oil only.
Hopefully I got on antibiotics quick enough (within 1-2days of symptoms)
and have stayed the course. Much of the swelling is edema, only so much you can blow up from blood and/or infectious matter. Its taking its damn time going down but there is improvment slow but steady.

thx also for the info, Newmass.
