Thanks all for the help in putting together my cycle. Started D-bol Test E cycle last Thurs. The gear is IP and I believe it is legit b/c the source comes highly reccomended and also although it has only 5 days my strength is up my weight is up a few pounds and I look a bit bloated. That being said, the injection hurt like a b****, not the needle going in but the gear itself. I could feel it almost coursing through my leg. My whole glute has been sore for the past few days but especially my upper glute/ lower back near my spine. The area is definetly swollen and pretty tender. Im worried it might be an infection but it does not really fit the description of an abcess or cellulitus. The area is not red. There is not definite lump but rather just swelling. It doesn't feel particularly hot. Im not sure whats going on. I used sterile injections procedures as far as I know and like I said I think the gear is good? I think I may have injected to high or too far toward my inner glute or while injecting I may have pulled the pin out slightly and thus given myself a subcutatenous injection. F*ck man this blows!! For the time being im putting hot compresses on it and taking advil and some tetracycline I had lying around. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
First few times you inject it can hurt like a s.o.b. Could be from moving the needle too much, injecting too fast, muscle just getting use to a foreign material. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it is not red or hot, just tough it out for now. The next few will get better and better. IP's stuff is good. No worries.
keep taking anti inflammetries like ibuprofen every 4 hours...you hit a nerve on the way in...nothing to worry about

thanks for the advice guys... glad to hear you dont think its an infection...looked at some photos of abcesses trying to determine if I had one and i gotta say that is some of the worst sh*t ive ever seen... next time i will inject slower thanks again thats a relief
