Hey everyone,

I'm currently halfway through my first cycle of 300mg test e. Everything has been going smoothly until now. I'm experiencing terrible pain in my deltoid to the extent that I can't lift my arm above my head. There's no redness, discoloration, or sores in the area. I use a 28g 1/2 needle and always make sure to clean the injection site with about 20 alcohol swabs. I don't think it's post-injection pain (PIP) because the pain didn't occur until a week after the injection. I inject twice a week, alternating sides. I haven't had any fevers or symptoms of my body fighting an infection. The only information I've found suggests that my body might be reacting to the ester. However, I would expect this to happen at the beginning and affect both deltoids. I plan to go to urgent care today, but I wanted to check here first. I'm in college and don't want anyone to find out about my usage so I'd rather not go to a doctor if possible.

Maybe you tore something in your shoulder? What exercises did you do before you got soreness in it?
Maybe I'm tired or something, but what angle are we seeing of your delts? Your 'good' looks like the bad one.
 
Wtf are we even looking at? I thought the “good” picture was a flexed quad, if it’s a delt that ain’t good either. The other I can see your trap coming in so obviously shoulder. Looks like a terrible synthol injection. Yeah definitely go see what’s going on there with a professional, before they have to cut a chunk off your shoulders and instead of having boulder delts you have big ass dents of missing tissue.
 
Go to the doctor bro. Just be honest so they have all the information. Go by yourself and don't tell anyone. You won't get in trouble.

You do not need the doctor at this point.

If you "DO GO" anyways, and when you go to the doctor say you believe you were bit by a spider. It is the same treatment, if they have to "splice" the area and drain it they would then give you bactrim.

Personally if you were my client I would drain that for you and treat you but that is not an option and as a novice I am not going to tell you to do that because no offense, but you clearly do not have much idea of what you are doing as is.

-Jump on 800mgs of ibuprofen every 6 hours for the next few days.
-Increase water intake and electrolyte intake immediately.
-Do not inject that area again for 1-2 months.
-Rest the area for a week, that means NO UPPER BODY at all for a week, no lifting. Especially ANY exercise that includes the shoulder and that means NO bodyweight stuff either. Hit legs a few times a week and deal with this as priority.
-If you have other anti inflammatories jump on Prednisone at 20-40mgs a day, watch for anger.
-I would take a hot shower 2x a day and let very hot heat hit that area. Do not massage or rub the area, this makes an abcess worse or preabcess or hematoma.
-Elevate the area when you can, at night in bed and prop pillows up all around and underneath it.

Shoulder injuries tend to hurt more at night and moving in your sleep will make matters worse, though it is not like you can control that.

If it was an abcess or dangerous you would have streaking from the site, nausea and vomiting potentially, fever, and feel fatigured and horrible. WATCH FOR THESE SYMPTOMS. Redness, swelling and heat at the actual site are very common and most likely already occuring which is not dangerous but simply a sign the body is fighting this. If you do give blood to test at this time period, expect to see elevated WBC count.

Most likely this is preabcess, inflammation and severe swelling. Possibly hematoma which may show itself if drained as a white milky substance mixed with blood and other puss. DEF NOT FUN. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE, probably dozens of times many of us.

Even the "good side" looks like SEO injections are you doing anything else except for Anabolics in that area? Peptides, actual SEO or other oils sir?


Rest and anti inflammatories is the key here. Draining the area with a syringe for an expert would provide pain relief but the instant that you inject a preabcess and remove fluid and blood or puss, the minute you then subject the rest of the body and bloodstream to infection which can be dangerous, so unless you have antibiotics on hand, don't do this.

If anyone reading this ever needs say bactrim or other things like prednisone I am a PM away. I stock those for just this reason.
@OP this is about as common as it gets. Get used to this sir, because this is not the first or last time you will deal with this in this sport.

Feel better.
 
Doctor said its bursitis possibly sustained from working out. He's going to drain the fluid and send it to a lab to test for infection and give me some steroids. I might have to practice injecting in the butt from now on.

@GYMnTONIC Thank you for the information. Do you know what causes this to happen? The only thing I'm injecting into my body is 300mg of test e per week from a trusted source. Additionally, I take 1mg of Arimidex per week and 12.5mg of mk677 every other day.

This is with my arms straight out and shoulders slightly tilted forward.

Don`t use those 1/2 needles for your glute/ass. Won`t be long enough to reach the muscle. Fat tissue sits on top of the muscle (between the muscle and your skin) so you have to use a needle long enough to go all the way through the fat and into the muscle.

You need 1 inch or 1.5 inch for glute/ass depending on your body fat amount. Judging from the picture you posted I would suggest 1.5 inch for your glute/ass. Do Not use that 1/2 inch on your quads either. I would not use the 1/2 inch anywhere but delts if I was you. Even with delts you have to be careful that you are getting into the muscle.

Roll with that.
The bursa is under your upper delt and using a 1/2” pin shouldn’t reach it. The treatment is essentially the same as Wes said. Anti inflammatory, rest, ice and prednisone from the doc is helpful.
 
This 1/2” insulin syringe trend for oil is the stupidest thing to happen to bodybuilding. Even if you could reach the muscle with an insulin syringe, why would you only want the oil on the surface of the muscle? For scar tissue purposes and shit even site enhancement, you want to bury that shit as deep as possible. 1” for arms, delts, lats etc. 1.5” for glutes.

Looks like a subq leak/sterile abscess. Watch for infection symptoms (fever, chills, serious pain, streaking). Fingers crossed it’s just the bursa.
