Horrible glute PIP, advise on pain

[Sickofskinny]

Hey guys,

On Thursday I just started pinning NPP, I pinned one ML-150mg in the left glute, and within hours the pain got pretty bad, the muscle is now swollen to the touch but not noticeable by the eye.

My source is great and I am not concerned that the gear is bad, I did my right glute the next day and the PIP was minimal compared to this. Now when I pinned my left glute, my wife startled me a bit and I think I may have jared the needle and possibly struck a nerve? After she startled me I had pulled the needle out, and re pinned. The area is not bruised at all, it does feel a bit warm but that might be because I keep touching it.

What do you guys think?

Thanks all!

See if it stays warm. you might have gotten it infected all you had to do is not clean the area well enough... Been there. if the pain goes away your probably in the clear. you may just have caused trauma from flicking the needle in there too so give it a day or two and keep us posted.

good gear..

 

[Sickofskinny]

The gear is good, WP I assure you. Thanks Swfl I will.

Should I buy some heating pads to help the pain?

I like ice myself... Numbs it down. Heat will make the blood rush in faster and that will lead to more swelling and pain. When my ass hurts I take a lunch box hard cooler pack, wrap it in a towel and sleep on it.

Just bought a fancy thermometer and I don't have a fever which is good..

its just some pain from the needle movement , it will be fine in a couple days, youll see

Try twerking, it will loosen the cheeks

I would tend to agree with this. Some times it can be for 5 days and then it goes away. I've had a few scares but never an infection

 

[Sickofskinny]

Thanks for the feedback guys, you've reassured me a bit, I will let you all know in a few days how things are going!

Sounds like just a bad injection, we get them from time to time..We could speculate what it is, or what happened, However at this point what's important is to keep an eye on it. If you notice the pain intensifies,and spreads as well as getting hot to the touch, take a trip to the ER. The last thing you want is the onset of cellulitis..
If I was to speculate, I'd imagine that the prop ester is sitting on or around a local nerve, agitating it upon and after injection.. Sounds like some small local trauma to the surrounding tissue. Time well heal it.. In the mean time hot compresses aid by bringing blood to the area assisting in the healing process.. It's not like brake or a sprain where cold compresses are needed to reduce inflammation. Heat will actually reduce site pain and help disperse the oil in the local tissue..

Do you keep any antibiotics on hand just in case? Wouldn't hurt to pick some up to have on hand. You can also get an empty beer bottle, get the glass hot and roll it on the site. But if it's more than just pip this is not recommended (like an abscess).

 

[Sickofskinny]

Thanks Vision! I actually just had a doctor give me a week script for some antibiotics, which I didn't end up needing, so i think I might get it filled and if it get's any worse start taking them.

Great idea.. I have a nice hand size flat stone I grabbed from my outside landscaping, and I heat it in the stove. It retains the heat for a long time.. I wrap it with a cloth and apply it to wherever Its needed.

Fill the script for sure. Never hurts to keep that in hand. I always had granny pick some up when the old fart bus took them to Mexico. So I have a big bottle of antibiotics ready to go.

Ibuprofen 800mgs keep close eye on it watch for redness and swelling remember the needle tip is like a knife sounds like you cut around when you were startled the nsaid will help the inflammation and pain.

^^^this...dont take antibiotics unless you know you have a abscess...you will be fine..

Should I buy some heating pads to help the pain?

Heating pad helps me out a lot. I bought this heating pad made out of clay, stick the pad in the microwave for 1.5 mins then put the syringe on the pad and fold it like a taco.. go shower, come out and stick it.. after you stick your self the heating pad is still warm enough to massage the area with.. Helps a lot!

 

[bigbadbobber]

Mmm.. tacos.. I could go for some fajita tacos right now..

Take your temperature daily. Don't want to get behind on an infection brother.

 

[Goodskie]

I've had giant swollen red lumps that were awful. They always went away. But yest taking your temp every day is a good idea. If it's warm and red it's not necessarily an infection. If you have a temp go to the doc

 

[Sickofskinny]

Thanks guys! I will continue the ibuprofen and heating pads, I've only ever pinned glutes, so I guess I need to bite the bullet and try some new spots too huh...I am thinking delts, or I could just man the fuck up and pin my quads.

 

[Vision]

quads are so simple.. easy peasy japoneasy... my fav spot

 

[gamma]

Delts for me way easyer than your gluts if ur pinning ur self . Sounds to me like an minor infection.

 

[World-Pharma.org]

i love delts and triceps

 

[Sickofskinny]

Good news, still no fever and swelling of muscle is minimizing.

The oil seems to have dispersed and trauma to the local tissue and nerves have subsided.. In all this you learned some valuable things, take notes and remember what you learned here in case you do have a unfortunate instance in the future. Glad to see your feeling better pal!

 

[Drew83]

good to hear it wasn't an abscess. On a side note, lets say someone developed an abscess. How would you report the situation to your PCP or the ER? Honesty or not? Just curious.

It may not be a case of good or bad gear but rather if the gear contains Ethyl Oleate. EO is commonly used to thin the oil out a bit and help maintain supension of the hormone. EO seems to be a compound that people either have no reaction to or a very bad one like you describe.

Ask your source of it contains EO !
