abcess?

Ok I am new to injecting so i may be a little off here.

My first quad and glute shots went fine... they were sore for a few minutes then the pain went away.

Delt shots are another story. I did 1.5ml in each delt last night a few hours pre-workout and the pain went away ... so i went to the gym (back day)

anyway ..by this morning both delts are really sore. THere is no redness or anything ..just a bit painful and seems a bit swollen :(

should i be concerned?
 
anything i can do to kill the pain? it hurts to lift my arms (or do anything requiring my delts).

ive read some places to sit in hot water... and other cold... suggestions?
 
hot cloth on it would work, then follow it with ice if it still hurts in 24 hours.. also a heating pad if you had one will work very well..
 
Wait 3 days, if the pain is still just as bad or only slight less, then I would suggest getting an antibiotic shot. Icing sore muscles is more effective because the cold can penetrate further than heat can and helps restore the muscle better.
 
Abcesses typically do not appear that quickly.
Next time try to inject only 1cc or .5cc. It may just be your delts do not adjust to too much added volume.

Take an anti-inflammatory and massage.
If it does not subside look into an antbiotic.
 
To add to the answers, next time try to remain steady as possible when you dart.. There's alot of nerves in the delt, and one shake of the pin can make it feel like hell the next couple days..

I also suspect that too much volume is the cause of spoofy's delt irritation problem. As size said, decrease your inject volume to less than or equal to 1 mL.

Good point...I find it hard to hit the delt with one hand and remain absolutely steady. Occassionally, the excess movement will cause soreness for me.

There are no antibiotics OTC, but naproxen sodium and ibuprofen are good anti-inflammitory durgs.

It seemed easy for me, granted it was an empty pin.. I still remember proper IM injection protocol, and I knew it would hurt if I did move.. That's enough to keep me steady.. :)
 
update .. im still alive :) delts are getting better .. still a tad sore but i expect to be back to normal by tomorrow.

I did keep it fairly steady when injecting.. much more so then when i did glutes/quads. I am guessing I injected to much... I did notice injecting into the delt was much more painful then doing legs... .. oh well all better now
 
Glad to hear it.

Some people may disagree with these volumes for inejctions but i think they are safe volumes that you should never feel really uncomfortable doing. Glutes-2cc, Quads-2cc, Delts-1cc. That is a total of 10cc worth of injection sites. Need more use bi or tri and keep at .5cc

This may be much smaller voumes than most suggest but it will reduce your soreness, I promise. Also use 25 gauge needles.
 
ibuprofen is the bomb yo :)

i hope you cant get addicted to that... i take one every 20-24 hours or so... after 20min all my pain is GONE... :)

Yes it may help but I would stay away from using it unless necessary if you are also using oral anabolics as both are liver toxic.

I agree with this, but I think alot of peeps can even go 3cc + in the ol gluties...
 
Problem found (or so it seems)

I pulled out my vials today and my 4ad has crashed. My 1-test is fine. Im not sure what happened but it took over a week for it to crystalize and settle at the bottom.

I am guessing that is why ive been so sick after the delt injections.

I used a research kit from sciensupply to make the 4ad ...dazed's solution to make the 1test.

so i guess ill just run the 1-test for 6 weeks and run it alone at 500-700mg a week.
 
I've run into a problem w/ 4-AD also.
It doesen't appear to have crashed, but it was pre-made and in a darker colored vial.
I was guessing too much volume or maybe a crash, but I've got a baseball size knot on my ass for some reason.
