so...about 20 minutes ago, i shot some dope into my hand..i obviously missed part of the shot because i have some swelling around the IV site. (that big vein on top of your hand in middle, close to the wrist)

what is odd though....is that i am also seeing a little swelling further up my arm, near the crook of my elbow. about 2 inches left (towards my body) and about 3 inches down (towards the hand) from the crook of my arm. (right on top of and around that vein you can see there) its a few little splotchy swollen spots. i get that sometimes when i miss...several spots like that, rather than 1 big swollen lump. its obviously from a partial miss...but any idea WHY its there...halfway up my arm when the IV site was in my hand? seems odd to me....

Just happens sometime. Sometimes it's a histamine reaction.
