Injection site black and blue and slightly red?

davido124 · Feb 2, 2013

I did like my 12th injection of test e in my right thigh. (I alternate). This time i put the needle in and i felt it was painful as shit going in but continued cause i dodnt want to pull out. I did aspirate nothing but air so i know i didnt inject jnto a vein. Its real black nd blue tho. Any ideas on what it could be? The redness might be from getting hit in my leg in basketball today. Do i have anythin to worry about?

Sounds like you just passed through a vein on the way in. Have you ever had blood drawn and "blown" a vein? It's from passing through and it will bruise. No blood was aspirated because you were deep enough, but on the way down I'm sure you passed through one.

^^^Agreed^^^

Sounds like you hit a vein or nerve on the way in. You said you aspirated and there was nothing. All is well and you have nothing to worry about. Keep us updated on your cycle. Respect.

it is slightly red around it. How long should i wait for it to go down? maybe try icing it?

Take 2 Tylenol PM before bed and if you have a heating pad use it. If you don't have a heating pad get one. If this is the life style you choose they your gonna need one. I have two and they help with PIP.
