There should be a forum exclusively for injection site questions.
There isn’t a day that goes by that someone doesn’t post a question about their injection site booboo.
I'm not trying to be despicable, but this question has been asked a gazillion to the 10 power.
A simple search will give you more info than you could possibly every need.
Moreover, most of these questions have been posted in the main Professional Muscle forum and not in the Beginner’s forum.
Pro Muscle Members help me list the reasons for injection site problems.
Then maybe when people need answer this will be the place to look.
Tell us your story and how your situation was handled. OK ?
I would like to say that ………………
When you stick something under your skin and into the muscle there is a great chance you will have some soreness . Duh!
There are probably 257.5 answers to the question “why does it hurt after I inject “.
I will start off with some of the reasons as to why your site has a problem and hopefully the rest of the Bro’s will offer their reason for as well.
I’ve been hitting for thirity years and have never had an infection (knock on wood) but a few times a month I’ll get a bump on some light swelling. My gear of choice is homebrew test-e.
How many reason can we think of guys ?
I’m only going to list a few
1) Because you stuck a needle through the skin and into your muscle.
2) You weren’t steady handed when injecting
3) There was to much BA in the gear
4) You shot to shallow
5) You shot to deep
6) You hit a nerve
7) You hit a vein
8) To much gear shot in one spot
Here is one you don’t want to get
An Abscess
Why would you get it you may ask ? Because you didn’t keep everything sterile and you shot a bug under your skin .
Septic Abscess
If a deep abscess is present, or if there is systemic involvement, signs may include: anorexia, weight loss, possible limited mobility, and possible abnormal organ function.
Etiology
An abscess is caused by disruption of a normal tissue barrier through penetrating trauma, bites, established infections, or by migration of normal flora to other sterile areas of the body. It is an infection and inflammatory process; where by leukocytes (white blood cells which protect the body from invading organisms) form a wall around infectious agents in tissue, organs, or confined spaces, to localize inflammatory exudate (pus), in an attempt to prevent further spread of infection. Exudate (pus) is made up of dead leukocytes, dead organisms, and fluid from blood.
Exudate from an abscess may:
autolyze and be reabsorbed resolving the inflammation and abscess
further develop under the skin surface and appear visually as a pus filled lump. This pus filled lump may then "come to a head" by itself, rupture and drain, or through local application of heat, break through the skin and allow the pus to drain thereby resolving the abscess
rupture and drain through a sinus or tract to another organ or tissue resulting in further inflammation to those areas.
Should an abscess continue to develop deeper within the body and then rupture allowing infectious agents to enter the blood stream, bacteremia becomes present.
If the pathogenic agent multiplies and releases toxin into the blood then the result is septicemia.
-------------------------------------------
Sterile Abscess
Sterile abscesses are sometimes a milder form of the same process caused not by germs but by non-living irritants such as drugs. If an injected drug like penicillin (or Gear )is not absorbed, it stays where it was injected and may cause enough irritation to generate a sterile abscess— sterile because there is no infection involved. Sterile abscesses are quite likely to turn into hard, solid lumps as they scar, rather than remaining pockets of pus.
Anyone for some pudding ?
