have I got an infection?

That sounds like an infection, but severe inflamation the amount you injected in the delt might be the culprit. I would watch the site and watch your body temperature close. Hopefully one of the experienced guys on here gives you some good info. Good luck with feeling better man.
Hey...was this your first inj. of that particular vial?

Have you injected this gear before in glutes or quads ? If he gear is new to you, it may be the type of base oil used. Some people are sensitive to EO ( Ethyl Oleate ) which is commonly used. Are you rotating site ? Over use of a muscle can cause discomfort.
2.5ml is a lot to absorb in your delt unless you have large bowling ball size ones.
Infections are accompanied by swelling, redness, and fever. Monitor the swelling and take you temp every few hours.

I always go glute to quad to glute to quad. I never go to the upper extremities only because they are significantly smaller muscles and in my mind, more prone to soreness or pain that can be caused by inaccuracy, overloading or readjusting to a new compound or oil - there are too many reasons for pain after injection in the upper extremities vs. the lower. One time, I poked in the quad and must have dinged a nerve because my muscles began to twitch (I'm talking full blown spasm) until I withdrew and tried again in a slightly different spot. The real problem came the day or two after and lasted for nearly a week! It felt like someone blasted me right in the quad with a hammer!
I usually stick to 1 cc max for any deltoid injection I give patients. (I'm a nurse) Reason is, deltoids not that big for most patients i come across. It's NOT an infection. If you have a fever, the injection site is cherry red, you can barely move your arm, and you're either nauseated or feel like vomiting, then its probably an infection. Your deltoid wasn't used to the added stuff, and your body's taking a little bit longer than usual to process it. You'll be fine after a few days. Just stretch out the muscle every now and then. Also, after an injection, take an alcohol swab and rub the injection site to distribute the test throughout whatever muscle you injected into. This will lower the risk of any trapped test that might form a nodule in your muscle. Hope this helps.
