Hello gents! Glad to be on forum.

I'm mid 30s and been training regularly for past decade, and wanted to jump on T.

I injected my first test e 250mg @ 1ml on delt (2-3 finger below joint) . However on second day my bicep/tricep are started to get swollen.

The swelling is not on injection site, and is about 2inch below it. It is tender, a bit pink, warm to touch. A bit of pain similar to a bruise.

Today is 5th day and swelling still in area.

Any bro advice? Is this just muscle inflammation, allergy, or sign of infection

Should I Massage, heat, or ice it, take ibuprofen, etc.

800mg ibuprofen a day mate probably a sterile abscess, I just got rid of two in my quads.
