Painful and swollen injection site

lowep3 · Feb 12, 2008

Ok, so I'm on my second cycle and I'm taking 500mg Test-e and 400mg Deca with Dbol at 35mg ED. My first cycle was just Test-e at 500mg. Ok well here's my problem. I did my first injects last Friday and everything went smooth. A little sore in both glutes because it was my first time injecting them(I only hit my delts first cycle). The pain went away a day later. Then on Sunday(2 days later) the pain became awful after working on my feet all day. Couldn't sit down and the area where I injected was a little swollen. Well yesterday I woke up and felt great, still a little swollen and warm. But after working again on my feet I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave work. The area was extremely warm and painful but had no redness. I should point out that I injected both glutes, and this is only happening to one side. It's the side I injected the Test in. Well today I woke up and it's still pretty painful but I can at least walk around for the time being. It's still a little warm and the swelling has gone down a little but it's still there. So I need your guys help here. I don't think it's an infection because I don't have any redness and the pain only gets worse when I'm moving around. The swollen inject spot is about 2 inches in diameter, but overall the whole cheak is swollen too. Any help would be appreciated.

WOW, 500mg Test E. The highest I use is 400mg Test E and EVERY time I get a softball sized knot at the injection site (glutes). I have been told it is the high BA content. I can't even imagine what 500mg Test e would do!

If you have high dose test at 500mg/mL, then it is no wonder you have pain like that. I had a couple of vials of that a while back, and I couldn't inject more than 1/2 cc at a time because of the pain and swelling that would occur. It's great stuff if you can bear the pain, but I'd rather go with two injects of lesser dosed gear virtually pain-free than the high dose stuff.

I should have specified. It's 250mg/ml. I took 2cc's. I'm just wondering why I would have a probmlem with the test and not the deca, because they both have the same non-medical ingredients.
