Hi Guys, although ive spent many hours trawling through the forums on here, this is my first post so ill start by saying what a great site this is and well done to the mods for not allowing it to generate into the testerone fuelled battlefields that many similar sites have become. Keep it up!!

Now, onto the reason for my first post. Ive been training on and off for about 12 years now, and after months of research and deliberation finally decided to use steroids for the first time, opting to go for deca, as it appeared to be one of the least risky. Although the thought of injecting didnt exactly appeal to me, i finally plucked up the courage and did the first one (British Dragon 400mg) a couple of weeks ago. I couldnt believe how easy it was, in the right thigh, no pain at all, no bleeding and not even the slightest soreness or scarring the next few days.

The second injection was a little more painful, i think i may have hit a nerve, and there was a little soreness in the muscle the next day, but nothing to worry about i thought. However, 3 days later my knee became very swollen, and over the next couple of days the bottom half of my thigh and top of my calves began too swell also, the skin becoming hot and itchy, although there is really no pain accompanying the swelling, just mild irritation! It just feels like a layer of fluid between my skin and muscles

I didnt know for sure that this reaction was caused by the injection, so i went ahead with week 3 injection, this time in my left thigh. Similar pain when injecting and two days on and im beginning to see exactly the same symptoms in my left leg, so i guess i can now conclude its something to do with the deca injections, but what??

Ive been really careful about using sterile needles etc, could it be dodgy gear, am i injecting in the wrong place, has anyone else had any similar experiences??

My better half keeps nagging me to go and see my doctor, but i really dont fancy telling him what ive been doing and listening to a lecture, so id be really grateful if anyone can shed some light on whats happening to me!
