Skin infection... again

[jetty]

This time i'm not so paranoid but am frustrated. I'm in week 2 and i'm using 2 injectable compounds right now - EO Prop 100mg/ml and EQ 400 oil based. It appears I must have another skin infection although i will wait tomorrow to see how it progresses. I injected about 8 inches above the knee which is really low since I normally hit the upper thighs. I've done 100's of injections and sterility is 100%. I've got pain and swelling which has gone all the way to my knee which is swollen. It is not red yet and pain honestly is not too bad. Mobility in my leg is bad so i'm going to the Doc tommorow to hopefully get some Levaquin. I'm just so pissed cause 6 months ago I had a more severe skin infection where my whole leg was noticeably bigger and red. Anyway, Levaquin knocked it out in 48 hours but I just don't know WHY this is happening to me? Ironically, were talking about the same leg here as well. I will say that EO Prop is more painful than i had suspected but i've already done like 6 injections. I mixed this particular injection with 600 mg. of EQ. Any ideas?

Skin infection or swelling?

We'll i'm getting the same symptoms i got with a skin infection that was pretty nasty. Last time i injected on the same leg but high up and 4 days later my knee looked like a grapefruit and my calf measured nearly 2 inches bigger than the other. Pain really isn't that bad with a skin infection but movement becomes very hard. I nearly had to go to ER last time Doctor said but luckily the anibiotics kicked it.

Have you tried injection the same gear in your glutes?

sometimes an infection will go dormant and resurface when conditions are right, maybe this is what is happening to you.

skin infection occurs when you do not inject properly into the muscle and inject oils into the layers of the skin, you either are not using long enough pin, or are missing the muscle, it's a very serious infection please do not fool around and get on antibiotic immediatly

The only time I have injected and it seemed to effect my knee is when I injected too low or too far to the front.
