Hello,
This is my first post so bare with me it it's not formated correctly. I am a recovering heroin/meth addict, I use to view this site all the time when I was using. I've been clean for about 2 years however I have not been able to ditch the needle. I have been injecting Subutex daily since getting clean, I just can't break away from it. Typically I don't have a whole lot of problems, although my veins suck ass after iv use for so long. I've gotten a little abscess here and there but have taken care of it with antibiotics and am usually fine, other than one trip to the hospital I had to get an abscessed drained, I played stupid like it was a bug bite since it was in an awkward spot on my arm. Well a couple weeks ago I hit in my leg and it burned a little while I was injecting (yeah should of stopped I know I know) well a day or so after the whole area turned red and blotchy. It has been burning on and off like an iron is being held to my leg. It's really only gotten bad this past week or so. I had put triple antibiotic cream on it and it developed a scab. It seemed to hurt more when covered and wet so I've been letting it dry out. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes I feel like my leg is literally on fire and I often have to hold an ice pack to it. I'm not sure how to upload pictures but I would be happy to show someone. It doesn't look anything like an abscess I've had before and I haven't had a fever or anything like that. I'm wondering if it looks like MRSA or something? I currently don't have any antibiotics and I really have been avoiding going into the doctor because I just don't know what I would say. I have visable track marks on my legs and I don't think it would be possible to lie and say it's something else. I also don't want to admit to shooting on my Subutex and get them taken away or have my doctor find out. Has anyone had any similar symptoms? The discoloration and burning really has been questioning what this could be. Any insight would be appreciated.
I think I found how to upload pics. My battery is too dead for flash but hopefully this uploads.
