Possible Abscess What To Tell Doc

[Tysdon]

So I pinned my right delt about a week ago and 2 days ago it started to swell up a bit and get a small bump. However, starting yesterday I felt like SHIT and even though I pinned in the middle of my delt, most of the swelling is at the point where my delt inserts into the arm and my bicep/tricep. In fact, my right arm is 3/4 inches bigger than my left right now. Its red and obviously swollen and if i press on it its spongey. Thing is, this used to happen to my glutes and delts last cycle so I didn't worry about it but usually it went away after a day and I only felt like shit for a day. Today I feel just as "sick" and the arm hurts just as bad and its just as big/red. There is no head on it though like a pimple or anything. My question to you guys is though, if this doesn't go down in a few days and I have to go to the emergency room... what the fuck do I tell the doctor lol? Do I just claim ignorance and act like I have no idea or what? I definitely can't just be like "well sir I put a cc of STEROIDZ IN MAH ARMZ"


EDIT: It should be noted before I get flamed that I always wash my hands, use an alcohol pad on the vial and on injection site.

Just be honest with the doc. Their bound by patient doctor confidentiality and pledge an oath to help people suffering from ailments.

Your fine bro the doc will probably shame you privately but he will treat you.

I was thinking telling him I injected B12 IM seeing as thats legal but lets hope it doesn't come to that.

 

[colochine]

You're fine either way. Who was the gear from?

MAO labs. However, last cycle I used Kalpa and I got huge swollen painful as fuck muscles at EVERY site EVERY injection. This stuff so far I've only had a problem with my right delt and my right glute but I foam rolled the shit out of my right glute the day after I pinned so I attribute it to that.

See if u are running a fever. It's an indicator of an infection.

Just be honest. Who cares what some er assclown thinks of u.

Lol they bill insurance for treatment. And your still protected by HIPAA.

I hope like hell it clears up fast bro or you have no choice but to see a doc quick.
This brings up a interesting question.
I have never had a infection but what if I ever did?
I have access to antibiotics but have none on hand. I was thinking of getting some and just keeping them around for the just in case scenerio.
What kind would be good to get for this?I have no insurance and would really be fucked.
There's no way I could afford to go to the emergency room.
It would be a lot cheaper for me to have something on hand so what do you all reccomend?
this info would be helpful to a lot of other guys aswell.
Thanks.

Either way you need to get check out. Be truth but if your more comfortable than go w B12

 

[Little Wing]

having antibiotics on hand is really smart because fast treatment can save a lot of trouble and money.

 

[Tysdon]

I am suuuper duuper sketchy about admitting any involvement in anything remotely illegal because of some stuff so I'd really rather say B12 if it makes no difference. Ive been icing it all night and im about to take a really hot bath and let it just soak for awhile to hopefully break up whatever is going on if its not an infection

 

[HeavyLifter]

The only reason they could say B12 Is illegal is because your not licensed to inject your self. I'd be scared to but that infection can spread and get a lot worse. How long has it been now with your fever and other Symptoms

Today is day 2 of feeling shitty and super swollen and redness. 3 days ago the "hardness" started. But I get that from injections all the time.

 

[HeavyLifter]

My husband when he pins the area will be warm and sore for almost a week. Now I know if you have a shaky hand it will feel and swell up a lot more. Your fever and you feeling sick are the two things that tell me you should get checked out. Did you ever run a fever from pining before or is this a first?

 

[Z499]

quit thinking about it and go to the doc. get yourself checked by your normal doc and see what they recommend

Yes like I said with Kalpa almost every time I injected I would get swollen and red and feel sick as fuck the day or 2 days after I pinned. The swelling would easily last a week too. However it usually cleared up with a good nights sleep. This time tho(on different test.) it has lasted 2 days. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll wake up a new man but just in case I wanted yalls input.

 

[Roaddkingg]

So what kind of antibiotics would you all reccomend?
Reading this makes me want to have some on hand.

my normal doc is a dope and I would never trust him with something like this. ER is where I would go. That or an immediate care clinic. Which do yall think is better actually?

 

[Z499]

if you dont trust your normal doc then i side with the er decision

 

[HeavyLifter]

Go to the ER

It depends on what pathogen causes the abscess.

Flucloxacillin/amoxicillin/augmentin are broad spectrum antibiotics but won't kill all bacteria.

For some bugs you may need clindamycin, erythromycin. doxycyclin, etc, especially if the abscess is well-encapsulated.

if you have a abcess it will need draining the antibiotics will only help with infection.

antibiotics in case of abscess!!!

 

[HeavyLifter]

Antibiotics alone will not cure an Abscess it will have to be drained and pack it.

What colochine said, or tell em you think you got a spider bite... they will give you antibiotics either way.. it should take care of it right away.. you should check your gear if your pinning technique is sterile... I've been doing this over 13 years and NEVER got an infection

Cipro's a good one. Going on the dad's advice, retired ER doc. I take it to 3rd world countries for the crazy pathogens there... haven't needed it yet thankfully.
