First slin pin tri's with red swollen injection site

[nby]

Hey guys I did a slin pin in my right tri the other day with a 29g .5" and all went good up till now. Injection was about 48h ago and it's really starting to hurt and just noticed that it's really swollen I can barely touch the injection site.
I usually do quads/glutes with a 23g 1" and never had this stuff. Used alcohol swap on the vial and the site (twice) and injected really slow, about a min for 0.5ml prop. Preheated aswell and massaged after. Is this an abcess forming or just the virgin muscle nagging?

Looks like you didn't go deep enough.

As in, I went sub-q?

Yep

Alright, I assume no need to panic and just pick a longer pin next time? Or should I be looking to antibiotics.

Not trying to be rude but you shouldn't even be thinking about shooting your tris until u have much more developed arms bro. Stick with glutes and quads

I wouldn't worry about it unless you start to run a fever. I'm pretty sure you just didn't get into the muscle enough. But definately keep an eye on the situation.

Can easily feel the muscle but if you say there's an arm-size requirement for pinning tri's I must've missed that.

Thanks, will do and I'll just stick to glutes/quads next time

Stop pinning your triceps

Stop pinning your triceps

You feel good about yourself now that you've let that out?
