I’m 36 6”2 210 lbs been feeling sluggish with work the gym kids. Energy levels are not what they used to be. Decided to try test to help keep me going in my personal life and give me the boost I need at the gym and if I like it fulfil that dream of getting on stage. Got talked into a t400 like an idiot. Like a donkey I was attracted to the lower mls per m and the cost savings clearly should have done research into higher concentrations and risks associated with the ba content. If in a medical setting they only jam 250 into an ml wtf was I thinking trying 400 per ml into virgin muscle.
Anyways (200mg e, 200mg d) let it sit in my closet for 8 months before diving in and taking my first shot. Used a 1 1/4 inch 25g into left quad. Read and watched countless videos to identify and hit the right spot. I swabbed the top of the bottle with alchol pad. The injection site as well. Let the alchol dry before administration. I drew the test with one needle and swapped before injection. I slowly injected over about 30 seconds about .8 mls. Went in like butter. I was shocked. No pain didn’t even feel it. Massaged the area for about 30 seconds and went about my day. Hit the gym that night with no problems.
On my way home I started feeling a bit of muscle soreness. Nothing serious. Had a shake. A midnight meal bed. Next morning woke up and there was more pain. Couldn’t bend my leg fully without the muscle feeling like it was being over stretched. Chalked it up to pip. Took a hot bath. A shower. Heating pad. That night I noticed the swelling start around the injection site. And it was tender to touch. At this point I decided to skip leg day. Squatting was extremely uncomfortable yet not unbearable needed a rest day anyways. Next morning woke up and the swelling was considerably worse. The pain went down to my knee I’m assuming some oil leaked out and down my leg Subq causing this. It was slightly warm to touch. No discolouration but noticeable swelling had me wondering if this is more than pip.
That day took some Advil and Tylenol. Was using heating packs but seems to make the swelling worse. Switched to ice to get the swelling by down. Went back and forth between cabbage wraps and ice packs for most of the afternoon. By night I had a slight fever 100 f that ended up going away with some Tylenol. I went to sleep with cabbage wraps around my leg. Swelling is gone from my knee about 6 inches up and is now localized around site.do have some discolouration slight redness around quad. No longer warm to touch. Fever hasn’t come back. But the swelling is still noticeable and no way I could work legs today. Bending my leg feels like my quad is a fully stretched elastic band about to snap.
I realize I made a rookie mistake with the t400 stupid move and I should have stuck with the tried and true test e - give me shit. Roast me. Prob deserve it. I think my pin was solid and sterile. Is this just the solvents from the trash product. Virgin muscle. Pip. Should I see a doc? Infection or hematoma? First timer things? Not sure what my next move is. Prob trashing this t400 got some 250 t e but not sure if it’s a good idea to push on or stop altogether pending results of a doc visit. Any advice would be appreciated.
