Wow. This thread frightens me to read . About 6 years ago I was living kinda rough in New Orleans and I ran out of works when I had one last shot. There was no way I was wasting in as at the time I didn’t much care if I lived or died. So I took the best looking pin and somehow found a vein in my wrist and it broke off and disappeared. Then I found another only slightly used one to finish the job. Lol.
A few ppl told me to go to the ER but I was afraid of what they’d do. Cut my arm open. So I ignored it convinced I’d be dead soon anyway. But days went by and I didn’t die , but I did lose all sources of income , and I sure wasn’t trying to do anything illegal in that backwater city. So luckily I got a bed lined up at a rehab , borrowed money for airfare , then borrowed money for a Uber to the airport and walked from Philadelphia airport about 20 miles to a relatives house. After about 2 more weeks of constant anxiety I finally told the doctors at the rehab I needed to get to hospital to check arm. Not surprisingly another guy was in exact same situation. So it’s surgical steel so it’s not magnetic. It’ll never rust. The said it probably won’t move much.
Surprisingly it had already moved about 9 inches up my vein to my elbow. Doctors assured me it wouldn’t move any higher bc my elbow was always bending. Pretty sure they just wanted to get my junky ass out of there , but they said if I wanted to schedule a surgery I could , but I wanted to finish rehab first. Then I kinda forgot about it. Since then I had a heart attack, then a heart transplant. Really wondering if anything related to needles, but I didn’t want to keep going on about my needle days. As I almost was refused a transplant to begin with and my newly married wife was the only thing that got me through the screening process . So that’s my story. I wouldn’t worry to much if you’re still shooting dope, bc nowadays it’s fent, zenes, tranq, and god nows. If you have insurance and are clean, maybe get it looked at? I doubt it’ll kill you tho.
