back in march-may i ran 250mg test cyp per week
i would do 125mg twice a week
my first test injection was subq but it was too much oil so i switched to IM which i hated
my second injection was my right quad and that went fine so the next one i had planned would go into my left quad
spring break had just started luckily bc of what was abt to happen
i pinned half a syringe into my left quad and it felt fine for most of the day, but by nighttime it started to feel pretty bad
i didn't think too much of it tho bc my other 2 injections hurt a little
the next morning i woke up and when i was moving around in bed and bent my knee it was extremely painful to the point that i could barely even bend it at all
i stayed in bed until around 1pm for certain reasons
when i got up to take a shower the reality set in
i could NOT walk
if i put any pressure on my leg i'd be in extreme pain
i had to hop on my right leg and use surrounding objects to hold my weight
showering was genuine hell bc my shower is also a tub so you can't just walk into it
you have to step up into it and mind you i couldn't life my left leg bc if it straightened i'd be in agony and if i bent it i'd also be in agony
it was only painless when i had it at a certain angle
so when i had to get my leg above the tub i was in tears bc of how much it hurt
i was also terrified abt what to tell my parents bc obv i didn't tell them i was pinning test
i ended up saying that i didn't know why it hurt and i must've injured myself working out or something
a couple days later i was tryna figure out if i should go to urgent care or not but then i decided to book an appointment with a doctor under my insurance so that i wouldn't have to pay a shit ton
my mom found me an appointment that day but it was in 30 minutes and the doctor was 30 minutes away
so i had to get in my car and drive there alone while i could barely even walk
luckily for some reason wearing shoes made the pain a lot more bearable so i was actual able to get in my car and drive over there
obv i was still limping nd shit but i actually managed to make it
i told the doctor everything after confirming she wouldn't tell anyone shit
it was lowk fye tho she was feeling on my knee nd shi

she told me that it was most likely just fluid buildup and that i just needed to wait it out
so i went back home and rotted on the couch for the next few days
i also visited family a couple days after that and they noticed fast bc my left knee was way fatter than my right one
the fluid had caused my knee to swell up pretty badly and it was really warm when i touched it
it took around a week to be able to walk somewhat normally again
and it took 2-3 weeks to genuinely be back to walking regularly
then i switched to ONLY doing injections into my vg on both sides
NEVER pin quads unless you know what ur doing
