Injection Site Redness

[taliaferdl]

I've been running Test Prop 150 mg EOD and in week 7 right now. I had previously been pinning glutes and quads but decided to try my triceps. I used an insulin needle and everything was fine till the day after the injection. I am used to the post injection pain that prop produces but it's not the pain that is worrying me. I have a huge red blotch covering my entire tricep and it feels warm to the touch. I don't understand how this could be an allergic reaction as I haven't had any reaction in other injection sites. Should I just pop some benadryll and ride it out or could it be something else?

Mostly likely not an allergic reaction due to the fact you have been using it with no prob. Mostly likely just the muscle you choose. Had this happen when I injected some deca 300 into my bis about ten years ago. Had no probs with injections of same compound into larger muscles

How many CCs? Large injections in smaller muscles give me issues like that. Is it swollen too?

[lang=es]It can be infection any, since the area is red and hot.

Blue needles used to ensure reaching the muscle[/lang]

I don't think it's an infection. The redness is still apparent but the fever/swelling/pain has gone down significantly. Needless to say I won't be pinning my tris with prop again.

That^ is probably what happened.

Might want to keep some antibiotics on hand as a just in case kind of thing.

how many cc's? remember the tricep is a much smaller muscle than quads/qlutes..smaller muscles smaller injections...

this shit happens quite often when I poke my bi's or tri's.....

 

[taliaferdl]

I pinned .75cc in each tri. I had some antibiotics but thankfully didnt have to use them. Pain and swelling is almost gone now. For some reason I got flu symptons (fever, achy) worse than before when I pinned the tris too. Oh well gonna keep pushin on.

I have done my tri's once....and BOTH got extremely swollen and red for a good 3 or 4 days....and were sore and tight....one had prop in it, one had a little prop and tren....it sucked.

I'm having the same kind of issues except on my stomach at GH injection sites. Blue tops from a sponsor on here. Any ideas what this could be? 192aa? Unsterile products?

And to the OP..sorry I'm not trying to hijack your thread. If I were you I would stick to quads and glutes and see if it happens again..

 

[taliaferdl]

Your all good brother. I was fine with quads until I got a lump in it for about three days and couldnt walk right.

But as for the tris it sounds like the exact same issue I had. Do you think I would have better luck hittin the bis or no go?

 

[Ruhlfreak55]

I do biceps a lot more often....sometimes they'll get red...sometimes not, but for the most part not nearly as bad as the tri shots I did.
