I posted this in another thread but thought will post it here so newbies can see this too.

I just got proven how important sterile injection technique is, i am on a test deca cycle, and Sunday was my 6th injection(shoulder). I did everything right(at least i thought), anyways one of the alcohol wipes was expired and bit dryer than usual but i said who cares,
right now my shoulder and bicep is about an inch and half thicker than the other, red, hot to touch, it hurts to move and had a fever of 103 last night. anyways went to doc today will be taking antibiotics for the next two weeks, no gym, and going to throw out the two vials i was using.
so always be careful bros.

I like heavy when he's drunk. maybe we all should pitch in and buy heavy a case of good imported beer.

Imosted, sorry to hear that bro. Can you let me know exactly what antibiotics you're being prescribed?

Damn bro. That sucks. Sounds like you caught it quick though. I would also like to know what the doc has you on. Feel better bro.

You may be able to filter the vials. a .22 will remove anything harmful.

yeah i guess i can do that both vials are 20 ml so it will actually save me some money lol
 
thanks for posting this for those who r really careless when pinning. get well soon bro. god bless
 
i had that for like 4 days. went away though, never saw a doctor. hard to believe just bc it was an expired swab that was a little dry, did you also reuse a needle? I use alcohol and cotton balls, and if i absolutely must reuse a pin (not for glutes or quads) i let it sit in alcohol and wipe clean. repeat.
 
were you tempted to stick a needle in your arm and drain it?
 
Thanks for sharing bro, It's a good reminder for everyone.
Infection set in quick damn, get better man.

When I was a kid it was common practice. I would go get penicillin shots for strep throat and they would pull out a used needle that was in a vial of alcohol. That dull mother fucker hurt like a bitch. I got strep like 15 times and the state finally put me on oral penicillin.

I never use the same pin, just toss em they are cheap.
I am not 100% sure about the expired alcohol swap but it i s the only logical explanation, as i said in the first post, this wasnt my first injection so it is not the gear which was contaminated, i used new syringe and needle, so it only leaves 1 thing left, the swap seemed abit dry and the doc thinks that the alcohol on it wasnt sufficient enough to kill all the germs and bacteria on the injection area.
 
Sorry to hear that news, i use both swabs and cotton balls, but mostly the cotton, i like to rub the area and my hands with a really saturated cotton ball. A nurse told me she does not like it too wet though.
I don't know, can't be too careful.
 
I've run out of swabs and had no problems. Maybe totally unrelated but I inject insulin about 5-6 times a day and never wipe the site only the vial. but I have run out of swabs and just skipped wiping the vial and never had a problem. Not saying it isn't true in your case.

Did they ever consider just taking your tonsils out. If you do not have tonsils then it is very very hard almost impossible to get strep.

GREAT post!
hope all newbies see this!
thankyou.
and i hope you feel better soon.

i should also add to your thread this:
It is VERY important to ALSO not inject too often or too much in the same spot.
I was running 800mg primo + 500mgteste. so it was alot of oil to pin and the primo was 200mg/ml not the 100mg/ml u usually see.
long story short:
3-4 shots a week. 1 in each glute of 2.5-3ml and 1.5mg in delt EVERY week.
so its week 15 and i aspirate and guess what comes out?
white stuff, probably puss or something!
yah thats right, there is another reason to aspirate other then just seeing if you hit a blood vessel.

so DONT hit the same spot more then every 2 weeks and dont use too much oil in one spot over and over.

nothing happend but i stopped the cycle when i saw that and just stuck with the test in delts and did not hit the glues since (about 3 months) nothing happened. but i know if i ignored it i would be injecting oil into puss and it would get bigger and it WOULD have probably turned from a sterile abscess to a septic one and ended me in the ER.
 
Wow...hope everything turns out well...thanks for sharing!

I drained one in my shoulder. I pulled out 5 cc of pinkish watery play doh. The shit was gross and smelt like a rotten animal on the road.
