This sucks, My left shoulder is red as hell....

zephyr22 · Nov 23, 2004

I told you all I was taking some suspension in an earlier thread. I took a shot maybe 1.5 days ago in the left shoulder. It hurt about 3 hrs later. However I took a glute shot maybe 3 days ago and is still a bit sore. Anyways my left brachialis area is red. Also warm to the touch. I know people are gonna say its an infection. However the warmth is from the body increasing blood supply to the area. Also that is the reason it is red. I have no ball or knot. Just sore as hell. I massaged the hell out of it and it made it even more hot. Has anyone had anything like this happen??? I guess ill stick with glutes from now on. Any information on this let me know. Thanks.

Well Im thinking...

Could this just be a reaction to the hormone itself???

Are you using a water-based product, if so, is it in a multi-use vial?

Zephyr, I had this experience a COUPLE times with sustanon..just as you described..after a few days, it just went away?????? It was hard for me to know what to think. hope this helps

Reaction

Suspension is a bitch. The best I ever had was the Steris brand many many years back. Never had good luck with it since. One of the toughest shots out there IMO. Last time I had some, I had to give it away. the water doesn't buffer the drug like an oil- based thus the redness. Not worth the pain in my book. What brand is it and is it amps or bottle?

First of all what kind of suspension? This has happened to me once. It was from a high Benzol Alcohol content in an oil-based suspension. When I cut it in half with deca before injjecting it never happened again. In addition to what you said, I didnt feel sick-but I felt a little 'off'. Its you bodys adverse reaction to the high concentrated BA level.

multiuse......

Its 10ml multiuse vial. I think it is like I said the most painfull damn thing Ive ever taken. Hopefully the gains will be substantiall otherwise im gonna toss the bastage in the trash. Thanks for replys guys. I appreciate everyones help on here.

also..

It is water based.

xcelbeyond · Nov 24, 2004

This is just "my" theory on this. There have been a lot of guys get abcess' from muti-use, water-based products and I know zephyr is no novice either. I believe that water-borne bacteria is much more prone to happen in these products.

I don't know but isn't most water-base products just micronized gear in sterile (or is it bacteriostatic) water. If it's bacteriostatic (has BA in it) then it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe it's just too much of a coincidence.

zephyr22 · Nov 24, 2004

yes....

Also what it has 2% BA. I dont know if sterility is the issue. I think maybe it is a reaction to the drug itself. As someone else stated maybe the oil in a normal inj acts as a buffer. Because the water is immediately absorbed over about an hour then a bunch of crystals are left behind for the body to absorb. Im not sure like I said but no ball of puss or knot in the muscle just soreness and redness. Also a red area on my brachialis area which is about the size of the bottom of a coke can. This is about 3 inches from where it was injected.

Hey bro, I didn't read everybodies posts because I was in a hurry. I had this happen with a shoulder injection before also. What I was told by a nurse was that the gear didn't stay in the muscle and it basically leaked out into the fat layer or subqutanious (sp?) layer. That is why it is warm to the touch also. It will go away in a few days unless it is an infection, which I doubt it is. This has only happened in my shoulders as well.

i had thsi happen to me as well...i found that when i did 1cc(100mg) and mixed it with an oil base like tren it reduced the pain by as much as 50% and was very tolerable to use...gaisn i made were better then anything i ever used..try deluting it with a oil of some kind..and massge the hell out of it..switch off and on with warm moist packs and ice packs as often as you can through out the day... asprin will help take the heat down and reduce swelling and pain..as long as it does not itch i think you'll be ok...better safe then sorry though..keep your eye on it and take no chances

zephyr22 · Nov 26, 2004

Well it feels better....

The redness has gone away almost completely. The left should muscle is still sore somewhat. However I had to try it one more time. I shot in thel left glute this time. Now a day later just mildly sore. Maybe Im super sensitive to this stuff. It seems my body is getting used to it. Who knows. Im gonna see how its gonna do. Im gonna add tren soon witn the test suspension. Its gonna rock I hope. Later.
