Normally I don't post things like this in the open anymore, I keep them in the bat caves of forums where its a much smaller more personal crowd, but something like this can happen to any user. Guys who have a few under their belt, to guys like me that count decades and not yrs anymore.
This is a massive infection that needs an antibiotic called Vancomycin which is a broad spectrum type and is basically as strong as it gets, and this is no pill this is 3x a day 2.5 hrs each bag they hook up IV meds. Which is followed by heparin so I don't get blood clots from laying/sitting 8 hrs a day. The heparin is sub-q in my stomach but leaves bruises that make getting hit with a bat look tame... Side story for humor and its 5:45 am and I'm getting my meds at 6:00 and the shot of ******** is groovin me out and I feel like typing. So, yes I've been hit with a bat before, the funniest object was a brass pole used at clubs and bars, when he began to swing it I saw it coming and was able to hook it w my left arm after impact and use my right arm to snatch it and hurl it like a spear at his chest. The bottom was large enough for a direct hit. I didn't stick around to see how long before he got back up. But I still got 4 broken ribs, for all I know I could have collapsed his lung that's why I ran a city block in cheetah mode and dove in a cab and drove 10 blocks up and 10 over and found a diner to sit in until the rest could get the car and get me the hell outta dodge.
Back to being serious, this is from injecting into scar tissue. My right delt has been hit hundreds of times I won't use more than an ML in there but even still this had been building over time and my muscle wasn't getting the oil the surrounding scar tissue did and kept that shit sitting there and I simply thought TNE a lil pip for a day or 2, but day 3 and its very warm and swelling some by day 5 delt is the size of a bowling ball and has skipped being red, and went too damn near purple and this was no abscess, full blown infection spreading down my arm to my elbow basically overnight. No busting out the 10ml syringe and the 18g needle to home drain, my GP wasn't going to be able to do a thing. It was straight to the ER and needing to be admitted.
Why do I say this can happen to anyone is when we first start we use just a few areas we are comfortable with using and scar tissue will start forming if those areas are over used or too much is put in a specific muscle group. And pip starts when it shouldn't, next is the abscess setting in and eventually no matter how little you put in or how good the gear is will stop an infection from setting in when the ratio of scar tissue is greater than the muscle tissue. This is why you must hit every muscle group you can. And if there are spots you need help hitting ask a friend you trust to do it for you or if your girl is cool with what you do, teach her by starting with glutes or quads. Since I'm so damn broad up top I can't twist well enough to hit my lats and that's where my girl comes in.
Hopefully this won't trigger a spinal infection I had roughly a year ago, as once you contract osteomyletis it can become chronic and that means instead of a week of IV meds, it will be 10 weeks or more and if it becomes chronic the vertebrate will have to be shaved down or even removed and paralysis or sepsistemia can set in the drug resistant MRSA type shit.
Be smart guys, know your body and even when you do a freak thing like this can still happen. Try and use.as much pharmaceutical grade gear you can, if someone's prices are just too good to be true, its being made in the garage of someones house. Spend the extra money, even though price doewnt ensure quality but the guy who wants $50 for some test when you are paying $25 odds are the $50 stuff was given more love and sometimes its pure shit with a fancy label and a box..cough Scrioxx cough cough.
I'll be out by Sunday or Monday hopefully, and then its 3 more.weeks of oral antibiotics. Fingers crossed osteomyletis is not a factor, 2x in a year.will certainly mean severe spinal damage and may truly end gear all together and turn the weights into yoga or Pilates.
Stay safe everyone
