I'm also part of the crowd who doesn't see how its possible to break a needle off into your arm, no matter how many times you've used it. Fuck, when I've had to rip the needle out on purpose with a pair of pliers it takes a lot of effort and I'm a strong guy! By accident? I just don't see how.
And no offense, I don't care if its not hurting now and "seems fine," anyone wiling to walk around and go through life knowing you have a broken needle wandering around in your body is an idiot. Seriously, you've got to lack common sense to go even one more day without at least making an attempt to visit a free clinic.
We all understand not wanting to walk into an ER or visit a doctor and admit drug abuse, but when you've got a needle in your fucking arm and there is at least a chance that a clinic will remove it no questions asked, you seriously lack common sense if you don't even make the attempt to get it taken care of.
But then again when you say stuff like "well cuz If I have to I'll tell my mom I like got a sewing needle splinter cuz like anyone would believe that" I think you've pretty much laid your cards on the table.
If anyone reading this has actually managed to defy all odds of probability and really actually somehow managed to break off a hypodermic needle in their arm, it IS NOT OK TO JUST LEAVE IT THERE, no matter what this or any other dummy says in an Internet forum. GO AND GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. Even if you have to drive 100 miles to a free clinic, do it.
Don't want anyone to find out? Fine. Muster up enough brain power to make some calls or search online to figure out what a person in your situation can do. Just calling a free clinic and asking a few questions will help you get it sorted. Can't find a free clinic? Find the nearest needle exchange and either call them or just go to it, explain the problem and see what they say.
Want to make sure no one finds out it's you? Then just leave your ID at home. If you're paranoid and think someone is going to demand to see ID then ha ha you don't even have it on you! And don't worry, absolutely no one at a clinic or needle ex is going to talk to the cops. They are on YOUR side and want to see you safe and healthy, ok?
Now go get better!
