First cycle scare experience and resolution

[bandit Member Find all posts View Profile Close bandit]

I am on a 500mg Test E and 30mg ED dbol cycle. Test is split to two shots weekly. My first glute pin went great!! No issues at all. My second pin went fine but after 2 days my tail bone area lymph nodes got swollen and sore. No redness, warmth and I didn't have a fever. Injection area looked great as well. Just a little sore which is normal.

Now things I read online were:

Could be an infection/cyst- possibly would need surgery
Could be back pumps from dbol
Could just be my fresh glutes not used to the test and it's just my body naturally reacting (most common answer and experience from others)
And a few other scary things

Well I'm not sure exactly what it was but I can tell you if this is something you experience don't panic. I read online for hours and was confused on what was going to happen.

Yesterday I did lower back, abs and legs. Strait leg dead lifts didn't make it more swollen just a more sore so I decided to take 600mgs of ibuprofen ( I know this can lower my gains a little).

This morning when I woke up, swelling was gone, pain is very faint and everything seems back to normal. I did my next pin this morning and everything has been fine. I finished my evening work out and I still feel great!

Anyone else had this problem? Thoughts or comments welcome!

Back pumps you will feel like if something is pressing in your lower back
I shoot after a shower and before go to bed....

I wipe down the top of the bottle with a alcohol pad. Put in 20G draw. Then wipe injection area with a new pad. Switch pin to 25G then inject. I do this right after my shower in the morning. I have never even had a red area or lump or anything after. Now that being said I think I'm injecting properly. I do the gun on hip with my hand then go 45 degrees back to find my site. Then I enter straight in, aspirate and go for it. I use a 1 inch pin.

I want to try my delts but how do you guys aspirate with one hand? Seems like a weird thing to do and I don't want to wiggle the pin around too much and cause irritation.

Yeah quads seem a lot easier. I have only hit glutes. I'll try quads tomorrow. Any tips?

Seems have heard many diff things for pip and i am going to try them all eventually.. on shot 5 in two days. first time ever pinning anything.. 1 in leg after killer work out is worst idea ever! 3rd pin felt like golf ball hit me the next day..
Today i took benadryl before injection heated the suston 300 in bowl hot water heated syringes in fryingpan on low. Was tricky lefthanded one hand glute injection 1.5" 25g draw with 25 pin with 25. I will know for sure tomorrow if the pain is least of the 4.. the provider actually suggested grocery store grapeseed oil. Hahaha sounded like bad idea so ebayed some grapeseed sterile vial 20ml to cut future injections maybe 1/3 grapeseed they suggested 1:1 but seems weird to inject extra oil into me.
