did 3 the other day in my hand and missed it all..and its been hurting so bad n i cant bend my fingers n its hot n kinda red in the area..its painfull i cant touch it or or apply pressure with my hand (making a fist n shit..grabbing things..it sucks) what should i do???
PS... you probably shouldn't be shooting... well trying to shoot dope.. if you can't do it right.. next thing you know.. you'll shoot an air bubble and you're 6ft under
Fuck, in reqiuem for a dream he was shooting and got infected (is yours infected?), and he went to the hopstal and they called the cops and he gets sent to jail without getting his arm treated and it gets so bad that they have to amputate his arm (im pretty sure they cant arrest him just for that), but you should go to the hospital but make sure you dont have any drugs on you or in your car incase they call the cops.
That movie is totally inaccurate, I doubt any user would keep shooting in such an infected area, theres more than one vein in your body.
a-fucking-men. dude, you needa go get that shit checked out... if you cant put an IV in, you cant fix the problem of doing it wrong... plz go get some kinda help
IT'S probably INFECTED! or you busted up your vien... a BIG possibility. If your lucky, however probably not... if it also swelled up and turned red, you could have gone through and through the vein. By this, I mean it went in through the front, and poked through the back, this happens ALL the time in hospitals when rookies are doing IV's, it will take around 2 weeks to heal, but it will heal (but this is probably NOT what happened). SOOOO, most likely, and trust me dude it's infected/messed up, If this continues, you might loose the entire operational/functionability with your hand. Don't be stupid, suck it up and go get it check out, just be smart and say you accidently stabbed yourself or something. Listen to what everyone here is saying, don't let this continue and ruin your entire life... Get that hand looked at dude... Suck it up...
get it checked my friend lost a hand to the same thing.if it gets infected the docs will have to lance it and that leaves a nasty scar.
1) What the fuck are you doing shooting into your hands?, the veins in your hand are some of the smallest, most painful veins to inject into, and are the easiest to miss or blow. When I was using, my hands/fingers were a last resort for injecting. If you're not experienced (and from your post saying you missed 3 shots, I don't think you are), you need to be using your forearm, or the crook of your elbow if you're going to inject. 2) To me it's sounds like you've missed or pierced your vein, that's bad. Take all the advice on here and go and get it checked out asap, if you leave it, you will end up with abcesses and likely lose your hand.
Was it tar or powder? Tar tends to be more likely to cause abscesses and the like. Either way, pop into a clinic and be honest, it's not worth possibly losing a hand and in America, typically doctors aren't allowed to call the cops on you for things like this (I don't know where you live). The doctors will want to help you and will know how. They won't be interested in getting you in trouble, and may even give you some methadone or something to make your life a bit easier for a day or so. Likely if you're using your hands, you've blown all of the veins in your arms and legs and feet, right? Those hand veins sure look a lot bigger than they are. Be safe.
