PIP Swelling and fever

[bigman1993]

My thigh is swollen and warm and I've had a slight fever for a few days has anyone encountered this? I'm in an 18 wheeler it's not as easy for me to go to a hospital and I don't have insurance

Let me guess you shot in the quad?

Yes

Ok no problem, first , relax..we have all done this.
most will say avoid the quads unless you are a mass monster with huge legs. Take some ibuprofen. This is going to last probably 3 days maybe 5. You are ok. You can use ice to help.

Thank you for the assurance

You're gonna be fine brother. We have all done this. Pray ..relax . And from now on glute only .

theres only so much realestate when on a heavy multiple compound cycle , so i use my quads all the time. but its better to use the glute, just make sure you aspirate before going for the gusto.

I get this on squad shots as well. Quickest remedy is ibuprofen.

And the smart ones of us have never done it again lol
Look up how to admin a ventrogluteal injection
Pectoral shots are super easy at 2ml or less
Lat shots are super easy with a 22g
Rear delts 2ml or less
Then of course there also your big fat ass lol
But never, ever, never a shot in the quads
F-that

22gauge in the lats?? That sounds like torture, never tried lat shots but a lot of guys say it works. Slin pins are tedious but great to give the glutes/quad/shoulders a break. Upper quad by hip bone has been some of the easiest shots i’ve taken. I’ve put 3.5mg of high milligram gear & couldn’t even feel it. The bad quad shots though are real bad, dull radiating pain.

Quads are the most painful for me.....

I use 22 gauge 1 1/2 for everthing

I use 22 gauge 1 1/2 for everthing

I use that exact pin size in my glutes because my gear is all high mg & thick, works way better then the 23 1.5 inch i was previously pinning. I’m only sticking that in my glutes though.

 

[who1]

lat shots are good, ive been doing gear for 32 yrs so its getting kinda hard to avoid scar tissue in the ass but like mack says the ventro shots work good as do the pecs.

I just looked at it again it's red and warm compared to my other leg. You guys saying you've had this happen before and recovered?

 

[jasmado]

Ok, our situation may differ, you are the best medical advocate for yourself. If I feel like I need medical attention I make it happen. Doc in the box, ER whatever. You have to decide.

 

[who1]

dont let it get to bad before you see a dr brother. he can give you cheap antibiotics to fight the infection if thats what you have.

 

[Mack]

A 1” 22g or 23 g

look in the mirror locate the thick part of your upper lats under the armpit off to the side

then skillfully take the stab

it’s easy once you’ve done it a few times

I’ve only ever had PIP there from test suspension and in the last you don’t notice it nearly as bad as anywhere else

Definitely don’t want to down play a possible infection but what you’re describing is extremely common & part of the game ( especially for quad shots ). Did you take ibuprofen? Also, you need to move the muscle, do a light 30 minute walk then ice the area. I’ve had many painful shots and i’ve also had an infection that became abscess that i had to go to ER for once from dirty gear. It’s very obvious in my experience a painful shot & an actual infection from contaminated gear.
