When you goto the ER, be prepared to stay the evening and at least one round of IV antibiotics.

I have to agree with "alltheway here" one day is to early to call it an infection .Is it possible you didnt get it deep enough into the muscle and the oil ran down your leg into your knee , I had a buddy do this and it as well ran down to his knee and it looked the same as your pics, I havent ever experianced this but im sure its discomforting majorly . I looked at the pics of your injection site and it appears to me your pinning way to low , you need to be pinning halfway up towards the outside .Any updates on your status on how your doing ?I pin my quads as well as pecs, glutes and traps ,I always have no issues with my right quad but my left quad always seems more painful .

I believe your over reacting....I get the same thing from time to time. It does not surprise me a Dr. is going to automatically call it an infection, more $$$ for him and his pals at the ER.

^^^^This is true...EO is a bitch, I get the same swollen knot every time I pin it. Also, like ATW said..you have not given sufficient incubation time for an abscess that large. So unless you injected straight sewage into you leg I would rotate ice and heat with deep massage(yes it will hurt). Thats what I do when I use EO gear....My 2c........

ok here is another pics.
the second pic is the right leg and thats where i shoot it there also and had no problem. when i flex the quad thats the thickest part that sticks out so thats why i shoot there and i think i am shooting at the right place.

Okay, So You did not inject yourself correctly for starters in the right location. 2nd, after getting a better view of your quad and injection site, what you have is a reaction to the EO inside the muscle, and the fact those muscle have never seen EO before, you will continue to always have 3 to 4 days of pain at the injection site till your body adapts to the muscles being pinned, and the muscles get used to the EO oil, and the extra bit of pressure inside the muscle.

I know, because I had the same reaction to EO when I first tired it too, but after your body gets used to the oil, you might be a tad sore the next day, but usually not that bad.

Okay for injection, you are going to inject towards the top of the rectangle, more towards the upper outside of quad. Go in about 1 inch and no more, then inject slowly. Should take you about 1 minute to dump the full 1ml oil into the muscle. If you go to fast then you'll cause tissue damage.

Some more tips, after the injection is done, leave the pin inside the muscle for about 20 second, then pull the pin out and apply pressure with your alcohol swab. Then cover with a bandaid.

AND NO the quad picture is not mine, Right now I have no means to even take pictures

hey.
so currently swelling is a bit more on quad and knee....a little redness too and painful.
i will take some antiinflammatory and motrin again.
i decided to go to ER tomorrow night unless it really gets worse.
my GF has to go for an MRI tomorrow at 11:30pm so it worked out perfect. I will just have her drop me at around 8 or 9pm and then meet up once she is done.
I will try to eat something and go to bed.

sounds like the fever and shit is test flu as AllTheWay said its kinda early for bacteria to be forming immediately after.
for the record when i pin quads i go slightly higher than halfway up and to the outside of the quad (like Combs said) and found that to be the sweet spot.
as far as the pain thats just part of the game. especially with quads. they're the worst for post injection pain. mine are usually sore for 3-4 days afterwards. not crippling but sore, more so with my left as well. my advice would be to suck it up and decide if the juice is worth the squeeze (pun intended)...

Especially when you hit a nerve in the leg. That's the worst feeling.

:) Cool, I Love coloring, I do have a scanner as well...... Also to bad Admin can't add in Crayon Text too...lol

Also, Imraan, like everyone said, see after a few more shots if you can handle this. A lot of times it's not for everyone.

Is this KBD's quad?
