i think i injected too low on my shoulder...ow

[gm09]

So I think I injected too low on my medial delt. Two days later I have some swelling down by bicep and the outside face of my arm. Whatever happened, any suggestions on getting whatever oil leaked to that area to dissipate faster?

Been off for a year I guess I'm rusty.

This, It happens. Hell my shoulder is still sore from a pin 5 days ago.. Rubb it, shower, rubb it some more ( sounds dirty), just look for infection, though rare, always a possibility.

Thanks bros I'll keep hitting it with the heat. I'm retarded pinning my shoulders I seem to always hit a weird spot when I do it seated resting my elbow on my thigh...

I did that many years ago with quads. I pinned to low on my left quad and holy crap, after a day or two it felt like someone kicked my knee. If any of the guys ever had water on the knee before from a fall or something else, you know what I mean. The oil just sat there. I actually had to go home early from work the third day because I couldn't walk straight. I just told everyone I got up to piss in the middle of the night and was groggy and banged my knee really good. Only thing to do is heating pad and let time pass. There is really no way to hurry the process along. Unfortunately the oil just has to have time to dissipate. Good luck brother.

i use a hot water bag on the spot at bedtime and by the morning its ten times better ..and some motrin helps

Ibuprofen and heating pad. I would not rub it in. You don't know exactly what is happening in there, it could be a few different things.

The question is if I should attempt my left shoulder tonight or just do thigh

I agree with this.

Same thing happened to me Delts and tri's are tricky when injecting.

The heating pad works wonders and increasec blood flow to the area.

I have also had good luck actually training the effected muscle group. Maybe go work shoulders if you can...get some blood going into it.

Update.

Don't think anything is infected but wow my bicep looks freaky swollen. Skin is bright red. Had something like this happen before, but not this bad. Strangely enough when this happened before hurt bad etc for a week with no improvement and then got better seemingly.overnight.

Is it hot to the touch?

Yes actually, slightly warm ide say, not burning or anything. I'm not to worried yet but if it hits a week with no signs of improvement its doc time

Tired of the showers you can take a moist towel in the microwave for a 15 to 20 seconds and apply it.

Not surprising. Peak pain and swelling day 3-6, CONSIDERABLY better next day. Done pinning shoulders this cycle,

 

[s2h]

if it happens again take 800mg of motrin..and then 400mg every 4-6 hours after...use a heat pad or one of those hot rock bags on it..

Do NOT rub or massage it...this can only lead to bigger issues..espc if its a abscess..septic or sterile...i learned this lesson the hard way..

Soak it insider ! Heating pad . Vicodin . Hot shower . Bad pins do suck . Hang tough .

try a slin pin and go a little higher, GL

 

[gm09]

Pretty much 95% gone 8 days after injection.

years ago I pinned too high and it a freaky lump up by my shoulder insertion , guess I been freaked out since then. Tempted to try the left shoulder next time however summer is upon us and I would hate to have to cover up the money makers =]
