BEAST COAST!
First i would like to say ive always used Long Ester Test, and always did IM. well i got some prop i was saving for this cycle i started by a really trusted source here, i decided to try subq because i read about heavy doing it and figured it might be intresting i decided to subq where my left quad rests, so this was my first prop injection and first subq aas injection. IT went smooth felt no pain no discomfort probablly the most comfortable injection i ever did. The next day still nothing just a little pinch....The day after that it was clearly red and started to spread, i thought this was nothing, decided to IM inject in my glute....the next day after that which is today its swollen, puffy, red, hot to the touch and has me worried like fuck. The IM shot is starting to hurt alot to. Im in the same situation as another guy here, NO $ NO INSURANCE. Im always very carefull with my pinning, and i would like to think that this source's stuff was clean. especially because hes so respected here by alot of vets and mods. Im not sure i was hoping someone with subq experiance with prop can tell me this is normal. any help would be apreciated.

you cant tell by the picture but it is definately very protruding, and way bigger than what .5ml of oil would do.

Im also currently running Asia Pharma test E, which has given me no problems what so ever probablly the smoothest aas i ever done. but yea any help would be apreciated...I was thinking of doing a Greg Valentino and going in wit a syringe to see if it is pussing

It's red. It doesn't look bad from that angle but I just went through the same thing , but mine wasn't red, however was infected.. Go get antibiotics ASAP.. If you wait and it accesses, they will either cut it out or drain it if it gets infected....
 
Thta sucks bro, What lab is this from?
 
****...which is a really trusted brand by alot of vets, never saw or heard a complaint, so I am not product bashing at all. Its a reputable UGL that even makes HG products. So im thinking either A. It was my technique even tho i disinfect and sterilze site and bottle like a mad man using sterile gloves. or B. Im just having a bad SubQ reaction or a bad prop reaction.
 
Damn bro

Idk take advil and try ice
If u start getting streaking or a temperature u need to get into the er/doc asap
 
whats streaking? and checked my temp earlier 98.6 its only been 3 days....if swelling doesnt go down in 2 or 3 days ima go. Im trying to see if this was a reaction to prop, dirty gear which i doubt, or bad technique. So we'll see if it goes down in a few days than i knwo it was just a reaction. if its infected in the subq which i suspect than its probablly me. if its infected in both the IM and subq than its prolly gear.
 
Not really a great idea to try subQ out with prop for starters...

How long ago did you do this shot? IDK why the fuck anyone would do subQ in the first place! Unless you are just riddled with scar tissue it really makes no sense....

Having never used prop before like I said that was a pretty poor decision on your part.

Doesn't sound like an infection to me, prop gives lots of guys problems, it seems like every fucking day someone here posts a thread sayin "I just shot prop and it hurts so I have an infection" that's prop. And subQ can give you problems on it's own.

If it's only been a few days I would keep an eye on it but unless you think your gear was shit it sounds like you did everything right (minus the subQ idea) so you should be alright.

Another thing is if it's made with eo instead of suspended in oil a lot of guys are very allergic to that and will get swelling, extreme pip and even redness so those are all things to consider. Best to be proactive here at any rate, jump on some antibiotics and keep an eye on it.

It'll look like red tiny veins through it.. that's streaking ;)
 
Ahah yea the SUBQ was just a experiment, because im getting ready to run tren a, and from heavy's experiance he didnt get tren cough from his subq injections. Dont mean to be a crying bitch was just looking for reassurance, gonna get some antibodis
 
No you're not a bitch but I'd rather cough than deal with lumps and spots all over and that's most peoples experience with subQ shots... Just steer clear from now on....at least with prop...you might be G2G with something else...

What antibiotic is the most common for this? I'm thinking Amoxicillin. Anybody had a scrip for injection infection before and know the answer?
 
Ya give it a few more days.
Ya streaking is like lines going through it or by ur red area.

There are several used to treat infection like this... It's up to the doc and he'll write the script based off of how bad it is at the time he sees him.

That said I do not believe this young Fuck the Worlder has an infection
 
You're not running a fever, and after three days that still looks more like a bad reaction to the oil (perhaps the BA content is a tad high?) than an infection. I've actually developed exactly what you're experiencing, but from an IM injection. I'd like to note the following:

- First and foremost, there's no need for panic. This is just a learning experience, my man!

- Infections tend to only get worse, so if your inflammation begins to lessen, and the redness fades (which took almost 5 or 6 days for me), it was probably just a rash all along. For me, the redness and inflammation reached its worst state after about 24-36 hours, then it stayed as is until day 6 or so when it began to go away altogether.

- It's important to continue taking your temperature. If you're grazing 100 degrees, go to the ER. They can't deny you care simply due to inability to pay! My temperature never rose above 97-something, which further reassured me it was a simple rash.

- If an abscess develops in that region, you'll typically know. Why, you ask? Because you won't be able to walk without being reminded by very severe pain. I've never experienced it, but I've heard it's hell. Nevertheless, I was able to do quad extensions while my leg was still red and inflamed. It was just itchiness and barely noticeable pain on the epidermal layer. Further evidence for nothing more than skin irritation.

Now I'm no diagnostician. Make no mistake. But to summarize in a TL;DR sort of way, I'd only be concerned about this if you're experiencing a combination of the following: shooting pain in the injection site, a high fever (take frequent temp readings!), and an unrelenting exacerbation of symptoms. My hypothesis, however, is that your skin is just irritated. Your leg will be itchy, perhaps a bit painful, but after a half a week to a full week the swelling and redness will subside, and at no point will you develop a fever. Just my hypothesis. But keep a close eye on everything!

Lastly, buy some legit pharmaceutical-grade Amoxicillin just for the sake of future precautions!
 
I had the same from pinning not deep enough into my tri's, actually doing like half a SubQ. Will go away in a few days, did hurt alot tho and was swollen as fuck.
 
it's good to have antibiotics all the time, never know when you're gonna catch that vd either lol. I had a buddy come to me for that and he was amazed I had bottles of antibiotics just layin around
 
Doubtful its an infection. Looks like localized reaction to the product. Ive seen worse from just resting my elbow on my leg for a minute or two.
 
I have been on TRT for over a year and have gotten the same thing. It has happened to me with as little as 80 mg test cyp IM and at higher doses when on cycle @ 200-300 mg IM. It has always happened only randomly in my glutes and once in my quad. These were all IM injections using either 23g 1.5 inch needle or 25g 1 inch needle. It would become really sore, turn red, and get rock hard. Then a few days later it would just start going away. About 5 days from injection until it would be better.
 
I had this 12 days ago. I was an idiot and shot 3 ccs into the glute. tren, test e and prop. (prop for the first time) I made a mistake and boy did i pay. 36 hours after inject i couldnt walk. The pain Lasted for a week. The swelling went down after 8 days. I still have a golf ball size bump when i flex my ass. I am watching that on a day to day basis. Its not red or hot, its just there. lol
At its peak, i couldnt even drive myself to the grocery store. My two cents...always have antibiotics on hand period....always break up injections when using prop......always break up injections when you are using a new vial. (that way you can isolate it if you suspect the gear being bad.)

Watch your temp, take ibuprofren (800mgs twice a day) try to walk and keep your leg from getting stiff/increase blood flow)

if you get to that 100 degree mark simply go to the ER. No worries. Almost Everybody will get this at some point .

Keflex is most commonly prescribed to knock it out quick! You must take it w/ a meal... it's a strong anti..
 
i got the same thing with test e on my first pin ever, took some benadryl and the next day it was gone.

Some guys just plain react negatively to prop. Its not a very comfortable ester.

Heavy, since people have issues w/ prop esters, would it even be rational to pin subQ? I just don't see it, but I read where-I think- you had pinned it subQ. Did you ever have any issues with swelling?

Same here. Surely doesn't look infected but just bad reaction. Still go get some antibiotics just in case.
 
3 ccs into my glutes aint happening anymore. The Issue is going to shallow for what ever reason and combining different oils. I will just do more pins and spread it around. 3ccs siting on top of the muscle aint fun. :)

Yes, I had irritation/stinging at the injection site but not bad.
