PIP Red Swollen

[05OG]

Im taking about 200mg Test C a week, its split between 3 days and I inject my shoulders with a 27ga 1/2'' needle.

It was either from monday or wednesday, but I have a spot thats a little tender and a little red and a little swollen, nothing bad, but I want to stay ahead of this if something is wrong.

Whats the proper protocol in this situation?

Draw around the border of the redness. If it expands, gets more painful or hot, seek medical attention.

Do you have any antibiotics on hand. It’s a great med to have in the stash when/if needed.

I do have Amox, is that what they do for this?

Antibiotics are certainly used to treat for an infection. These can be very helpful when you don’t have to go to the dr.

500 Amoxx two times or 3 times a day?

I think this issue is going to clear up, im going to give it a day or two to see how its going.

I personally wouldn’t just start banging antibiotics because it’s a little red and a little swollen. I’m not sure how long you e been pinning but your gonna have this happen. Could be virgin meat. Could be just tender from multiple injections at the same spot. You could be a little resistant to the Cyp as well. There’s a ton of other reasons than an infection for slight swelling and discomfort.
Just keep an eye on it. If the area becomes increasingly hot and/or you develop a fever then I’d start to worry about an infection. Just me though.

Probably nothing but like others said make sure it doesn't get larger or get more color.
If you see any streaking, go to a doc immediately.

The situation will likely resolve within a week.

I don’t understand why pinning long esters on a short ester schedule is becoming a thing.

Are you pinning a spot and two days later pinning the same spot?

OMG

I think it’s because a lot of self proclaimed online gurus have been promoting this for quite some time. Guys like Todd Lee promote daily injections of long esters because, they say, it levels out the peaks and troughs so the levels stay consistent which better controls e2 spikes, among other things. I tried the ED and EOD and haven’t noticed any difference whatsoever vs pinning cyp or E twice per week.

Buddy just do 2X a week injections Monday morning and Thursday evening with an insulin pin if you aren’t too fat.

You aren’t going to see much more significant stable blood levels at 3 injections than you would at 2 injections with an enanthate ester. It’s just more work

It’s also a pain in the ass, quite literally.

Don’t start taking antibiotics unless they are absolutely needed. It’s probably fine. Inject clean skin and rotate injection sites. Don’t say the name but did you get your test from a sponsor here or elsewhere?

Three times a day. But I don't know that I'd take it, honestly. You might mask some of the symptoms, delaying treatment if it gets really bad. This is where we get into doing what's best for you versus what gym bros say to do. Mark it, track it, get seen if it gets worse. If you're out in the sticks without access to a doctor, sure, start the amox but I'd still get seen.

You're fine. Don't panic and start eating antibiotics. Sounds like you got some leakage sub Q and irritation. Just keep an eye on it. It will go down

Sponsor from here, I have used the same guy for about a year.

I did mess up and hit way to low on my shoulder

Easy to get some scar tissue. You should put some other locations into your rotation.
