Go to the Dr before you get an abscess

280 · Jul 2, 2007

I got an infection about the size of a baseball in my ass. The day after I took the shot went to the ER and they gave me the needed antibiotics. The hospital staff gave me no negative comments on steroid use. If I did not go get the proper meds I would have gotten an abscess. Brothers go to the Dr ASAP and be honest when you have trouble. I had a friend who once had to spend one week in the hospital and almost lost his legs because he did not get help right away and when he did he was not honest with the Dr.

I will try to post a pic of the large bump/infection on my butt.

Peace

glad you are getting better!

My philosophy is the same, if you have to go to an ER. Be honest.

Guys, remember this. Your doctor is not the roid police ok. if you have trouble with this shit, and it can happen, then go to your doctor and get professional medical help. Doctors have an obligation to help you. You may get the I told you so lecture but you will get the right help and get better. Too many horror stories about guys not coming clean with the Doc. He/she cannot help you if you withold information from them. Some drugs do not play well with our goodies and they need to know this.
GOOD POST!

The US guys are worried about future insurance from what I've read. Not that they are going to get arrested on the spot.

An infection in under one day? Doesn't that seem kinda fast.

I agree that it's a good practice to be honest with the doc. I was, when I was having kidney problems. It turned out to be a kidney and liver bacterial infection which had no relationship to the AAS I was using. However, b/c I told the Doc I was taking some AAS I had to pay nearly 4k for all my doctors expenses. They then promptly canceled me.

You've been rotating sites, and got this from one shot? How many cc's did you put in there?

bigfatandugly · Jul 4, 2007

i had one of these and it wasn' t an infection.

there was moderate discomfort but no heat from the site. after hoping it would dissappear or dissapate after a week or so and it didnt i went to my doctor.

he told me what had happened was that it was a build up of blood from clipping a vein when doing my shot that had formed a pocket.

he told me he could drain it but in time it would dissipate on its own using a heating pad and massaging the area.

he was right. after 3 days of heating/ massaging it had visibly reduced and about a little over a week later it had completely gone.

go get checked out just in case.

hope this helps.

How would one explain the B-12 use what asked by the Dr's?

It's probably a sterile abcess or solvent abcess, good to go to the doc ASAP anytime you have a "bad shot" and get it under control professionally. They are not going to call the DEA on you.

Cellulitis and septacemica suck as risks to your life and well being.

Thanks for reminding us it isn't always the product that causes the abcess.

Boo,

First of all don't go to your private physician if it is going to conflict with your relationship. Go to an urgent care center. You can say you don't know how it occurred. You can say you smacked your leg or ass into a metal corner of execise equipment. It is far easier to say it was B12 then steroids, but I have said it was steroids and gotten the lecture, but it was private, and sincere ion the part of the urgent care doctor. You had a friend that takes B12 injections and swears it gives him more endurance, better workouts, better immune system, and an overall better sense of well being. he injects one ampule every two weeks. You tried it and this is what happened.

You are biased and obviously I am to.

Having rebottled for years earlier in this decade it is my belief that most abcesses are caused by the user either imprperly preping, using dirty pins, or traumatizing the muscle by torquing the syringe and needle while in the muscle. The BA in the oil should prevent most bugs from growing into the numbers that can create infection. Obviously human grade is the best, but there is always a risk benefit analysis as far as cost is involved. I think it is fair to say if you can't afford, or obtain human grade you use UG. It is also unclear whether mexican oil sold in the usa years ago was not infact rebottled oil either in Mexico or the USA. You don't always hear all the facts like the person was drawing out of 100ml bottle kept at room temperature and down to the last 10cc when the infection occurred or was just completing the cycle and ran out of pins so they used bleach to rinse and reuse the pin. Without UG's there would be a limited amount of products, availability and you would not see some of the custom or mega dosed stuff we see in the market.

But one can not dispute with you that you have no assurance whether the product is safe, the product or dosage it claims to be, or even real unless there is a history behind the UG. No question also that there are not the protections in place for consumer with UGs that there are with human grade.

ALL GOOD POINTS AND I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU WROTE. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S SOME GUY USING A NEEDLE OVER AFTER RUNNING IT UNDER HOT WATER OR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT.....I KNEW A GUY WHO DID THAT BECAUSE HE RAN OUT OF PINS....THEN JUST GOT LAZY AND KEPT ON DOING THE SAME THING.

I JUST NOTICE IT'S UG GEAR THAT FOLKS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MOST OF THE TIME. I'VE NEVER HAD A PAINFUL SHOT OF STUFF THAT WAS PRESCRIBED OR HUMAN GRADE.

I HAVE TWO CLOSE FRIENDS WHO I TRUST THAT HAVE HELPED ME OUT WITH UG STUFF. EXCELLENT GUYS....SO I AM NOT KNOCKING ALL UG STUFF.
