Infection? Those are some characteristics of infection. If it doesn't

clear up within couple days....I'd seek medical advice.

Keep us posted...

testo injection reaction

Friday I gave myself my fourth injection of cypionate. Now my leg is

swollen, red and warm to the touch. Could this be an allergic

reaction? If so, why did it not occur after the first three

injections?

Hey

Are there red streak running out from the injection site? If so you

may have an infection. You may also be having an allergic reaction

to the oil that the T in suspended in. Allergic reactions sometime

take time to develope any you may not see any adverse reaction until

you have had multiple exposures to the allergen. If you do have

streaks I would see dr immediatly. If you are having and allergic

reaction you may have to find different form of T replacment.

There aren't red streaks running from the injection site. The

problem is not at the injection site. It is in the front of the

thigh and a little lower than where I injected. The area covers

about 2/3rds of my thigh. I'm a competitive amateur cyclist and ride

my bicycle very intensively 5 days a week. I've had excessive pain

in the thigh that I inject in after rides for the first couple of

days after injections. But, this is the first time this swelling,

redness and heat has occurred.

My thoughts are that it must be an allergic reaction because I've had

other hayfever like symptoms since I started injecting.

Thanks

I often got a muscular like pain in my thigh and down the back of my leg,

when I used to self-inject into my thigh. It would last for about a day and

a half or thereabouts. I don't inject myself anymore, a nurse does it for me

into my hip and I've never experienced that pain since.

I use to have the injections. I had a bad reaction similar to yours

on several occassions.The reaction lasted for 8 to 10 days, it wasn't

pleasant. See a doctor and get it checked out.It could be an

infection . I had to see the endo and I am now on testosterone

implants and have no more problems. goodluck.
