Sore swollen quad after injection

mperk · 09-06-2008, 10:49 AM

Hey Guys- I injected my quad on wed (2 1/2 days ago) with deca and Test in one syringe. It was 2.5 ml and all went well until yesterday - now it is swollen and sore as hell. i also did a heavy leg w/o the moring after. At this point I have concluded that it was too much to pin at once and maybe i did it too fast (30 secs?) Any advice for the swelling? i am going to take ibprofen and kep my leg elevated last nite. It's warm but not hot - no sign of infection (i kept it all quite sterile.)

Thanks

You could of hit a nerve on the way in, or you injected too fast bro. 2.5ml injected in a quad isn't alot at all. Keep taking the Ibuprofen, it should help with the swelling and possible pain. Don't elevate your leg, keep yourself moving, your body needs to get use to it

Also when you stuck the pin in, was there any muscle twitching going on? If there was, you most probably did hit a nerve

Co-sign with LBJ, also bro what kind of test was it. Some test hurt more than most. Is this your first pin if so virgin muscles alway hurts until you body gets use to the gear. Do you know your land marks, if not you can go here to read www.spotinjections.com that will give you all your landing points. last but not least your gear could have a high BA content if so you could cook the gear and or warm the pin with the gear in it before you injected. My docotr friend uses DMSO cream for his muscle sorness he claims it works wonders for pinning, i have not yet tried it for pinning but i use it for soreness

also, if u ever end up having pain due to high BA content, u should either try and cook it like Heath mentioned, have a hot shower before bed to warm up the area, cut it with some b-12 (haven't given this advice in a while, but im pretty sure it's b-12), and you could do all sorts of things to make it better. It's all trial and error dude.

Dudes - you guys are the best - Thanks a heap for all the good info! It's all valid. I had a great arm workout this am and did a lot of slo stretching on my legs so i'm back in action - thanks to a little medication too! I've got to say when i was going for a "bulk" swelling didn't come to mind - LOL

Ok into the shower now - i'll let you know tomorrow if I look like the MIchelin Man.

Thanks again.
