Ok, the swelling really isn’t getting any better today. I’ve been taking Ib prof. as a pain killer and to keep the swelling down. What can I take to get this swelling to go away?? two days ago I couldn’t even put my left sock on, thats how bad it is. Should I just wait this out? or go to the doc.?
Dude, you need to see a Dr. I’m on an identical cycle to yours and just did my third shot this morning in my ass. I referenced siteinjections too, used a 1.5" pin and cleaned the area thoroughly with alcohol.
I’ve never experienced anything like you’re describing. I’ve never heard of the 45 degrees idea (I used 90) but I don’t see how that could help given that, if this is an infection, the bacteria don’t care which direction they’re coming from!
I’ve had some “lumps” at the injection site form when using test prop in the past, but they were not painful to the touch and were gone in a day or two. You’ve been talking about this since Monday.[/quote]
I know this is not normal. I am not sure what happend or what I did wrong the second shot. The first shot I did was on my own, I did everything…cleaned it ect. by myself and I only experienced little pain, nothing major and NO swelling.
My second shot I let my girl do, who is in the medical field. Mistake number one!!! I’m never going to let anyone stick me again. I showed her where to inject at and everything.
The only thing I can think of is she did not clean the vial with alcohol before drawing the oil, or she did not insert the needle all the way, which is crucial because I was only using a 1inch needle. Enough said. I have some 25g 1.5’s on the way, should not be a problem anymore, and the pain/swelling is getting better.
If its not gone by monday, I’m goin to see the doctor. I have been using a heating pad, and it seems to be really helping. Have you made any gains from your gear yet??
