Swelling and skin-thickening from SEO?!?!

[xcelbeyond]

I have a friend that's been pumping synthol into his delts for a while now with tremendous results - nice and round, balanced, natural looking, etc.. Every now and then he will have a situation where one of his arms, mainly between the bicep and tricep, will swell slightly and the skin will get thick hiding his veins for a handful of days. I figure it to be oil seepage or something related instead of some type of possible absess.

Problem is this: he had this happen last week Thursday and even though it has gotten MUCH better, he has a show on Saturday and is in the best shape of his life and should do extremely well. It MIGHT not be noticed at this point but the bitch is he stands and stare at both arms, and he can tell that his left arm smoothed over and not has hard or veiny. He pinches the skin between my tri and bi (near where your brachialis is) and the skin is thick like there is oil in there or something.

Have you any of tou had this problem before, ever, and if so, what can he do to speed up the recovery from this?

oil

The only thing I could suggest for your buddy to do is massage the area several times a day and see if that helps disapate what appears to be built up oil.

best way to fix that problem is not to put fucking oil into your body trying to pretend its muscle. makes sense dont it?

That's not the way it works, but everyone's entitled to their opinion (apparently you're gonna believe what "you" want to believe)

I wasn't asking for an opinion, just advice to help out a friend. Sumtimes opinions are like assholes - everyone has one (yes - that's just my "opinion").

that was a harsh statement i know, but i just dont like the stuff, when a guy uses it and totally messes it up everyone is very quick to make fun and say how terrible it is, but then you have people who make it not so noticeable and they are not made a mockery of. case in point taylors triceps. i just dont understand why this has to be used. with all the other things needed to compete in bodybuilding there has to be this shit. i dont think its good for the sport, if you use drugs to enhance ok, but this stuff is just oil. anyway, ive not liked the usage of it cause i dont understand it. but your right im guess im a asshole for thinking its not right

I didn't make this post to test the controversy of SEO - I thought most members here were above that.

I didn't call you an asshole but somehow knew you'd read that into it.

The statement you made above, I could use for 1/2 a dozen things that bodybuilders do. It's so funny how quick we are to be judgemental on others for things we don't understand and agree with. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN GOING ONTO A NATURAL BODYBUILDING BOARD AND GETTING FLAMED FOR USING AAS!!

Don't bother coming back with "Well it's not the same as AAS" cause we've heard it all and like I said it's YOUR opinion. I've never used Insulin or GH, but do you see me FLAMING members that use it?!?!?

I don't want to turn this into an SEO battle, all I'll say is this, it's threads like this that make me smile that I never chose to use the shit.

Maybe you could try pumping up the bis and tris with high volume sets and thus dispersing the oil a bit. This probably won't do diddley, but massageing the shit out of it for hours a day will help some, I'll bet.

This sort of reaction could just as easily happen with prop or anything else at the site. I have had similar problems with prop and other site injections.

I come over here less and less due to responses to a thread like this. You don't have to like SEOs or agree with anything that is posted but the original question was pertaining to a situation that had nothing to do with whether you agree or disagree with using SEOs, it was about a problem at the site of injection.

Anyone is free to give their opinions, I suppose, but whether your opinion is respected, is the question.

it could just be water due to the inflamation response the body has. the diu's may take care of it.

Skip, I agree...HOWEVER, when most people do site injections, they're doing a couple cc's because they need a place to put oil. With SEO, you're consisitently putting large amounts of oil into a spot over and over again, something wrong is bound to happen. You're just asking for problems.

This wasn't a thread to ask opinions on whether SEO's are good or bad...it was a thread to ask for suggestions on how to help his friend out.

That's all.

A good hard massage a few times a day would be the only thing I could think of to help with leakage under the skin. Maybe with some kind of muscle rub to increase circulation (from the extra heat)

 

[jawbreakerkid]

thanks for clearing that up biggerstronger, I was confused

It sounds like inflamation, not seepage of oil. Needle must have been close to a nerve and as such the trauma caused the body to inflame the area to prevent it from 'injury'.
Anti-inflmatory gel would help.
I wouldn't massage as that can inflame the area even more.

Balplayer - as I have been going through all these old threads, you appear to be very bitter and negative about certain things...

And I agree with Skip.
Others putting their opinions onto others will not be tolerated.
Putting someone down for using SEO's will be tolerated as little as putting someone down for using gear or for using various training techniques. It is that person's choice to do whatever they chose, and if they don't ask you for your opinion don't push it onto them.
If you can't contribute constructively, fuck off out of here.
