Fellas,

Took a shot in the thigh the other day, have been doing this stuff for about 7 years and never had any terrible issues until right now. The shot was on Monday evening, today is Friday and my right thigh has become swollen and its getting difficult to walk on it.

Just want to know what this could be attributed to, if not an infection. I am very clean and take all necessary precautions. Hoping that I hit something and its just sore. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Oh... and greetings! Thanks for letting me be a part of yo community!

If it was just pain I'd say you hit something, but the swelling is what bothers me...I think you should have it looked at if it doesn't stop very soon.Good Luck

Hmmm... well thats not too promising..

I woke up this morning and I think its a little easier to bend my leg, going to give it another day or two before I start freaking out.

I figure if it was infected the spot of the injection should be discolored but other than the swelling my leg looks the same as usual, just a tad bit fatter.

I'm starting to think twice about this, and i'm starting to get freaked out about the swelling! Dude, maybe you should go in just to be safe.

I wouldnt know where to go and I def wouldnt feel comfortable going somewhere and telling them that the reason for this is because of an injection... anyone have another reason I could use why this may happen?

It felt a little better in the morning, but now its way uncomfortable again. Probably just felt better this morning because I wasnt standing on it for a while....

Just go to the emergency room or to a small clinic, you are protected by doctor patient confidentiality, you will not get in trouble. Your health is more important! Do the right thing man.

I would give it a couple days before I went.

Leg Update:

Pain is going away but it is still swollen and now it looks a little red. If it was infected I dont think the pain would be subsiding.

I think its just because I am not a big fan of shooting in the thigh and when I do I go way too slow and probably do myself more harm than good while attempting to be extra careful....

Ha... good advice

Swelling is gone and pain is 85% gone. If anyone can explain what the heck happened to my leg I would greatly appreciate it.

Time for the giants to beat down dallas!
