I is quite irritated. I has shot 2mg Dilaudid 3 times now and believes I has missed each one. Each time I will draw back and blood appears but when I goes to push all that happens is the area around raises and forms a hard lump; on the most recent shot I even pulled back halfway through to confirm blood. I ask is this normal? Is there anyway to confirm a preperation is going into a vein other than pulling back?

Eh I'd rather give the advice to your friend when "he's" done "swimming"
 
We dont swim here.

Looks like a missed shot to me.

Don't keep on trying if you keep on getting raised bumps; it's obviously not working.

Maybe get someone else to shoot it for you because once you are in the vein, if you let it go it can move and quite easily i.e. go through the other side of the vein or slip out of the vein completely (but stay under the skin).

OR, maybe YOU should help the person whom you met shoot their shot. They would probably have better results. X_x
 
I could just be a local histamine reaction or something. Sometimes a shot will look like a big mosquito bite, even if it wasn't a miss. If you are registering again half-way through then I don't really see how you could be missing, unless you went through the vein and when you pull back on the plunger you are first pulling the tip of the needle back into the vein if the whole syringe is moving back.
 
Hmm... local histamine reaction seems feasible. I would think a missed shot would fill up the area immediately, whereas these welts grow slowly over a few minuets. Could this be related to the fact that it was a cold shot? Also, would effexor hinder the "rush"?
 
No, all shots should be cold shots, there is no reason to apply heat to any pharmaceutical opioid for safer or even more effective injection. Applying heat to the solution contaminates the shot with all the binders, waxes, and filler in the pill, melts them into the solution so that when drawn through the filter warm, the contaminates pass right through the filter and end up in your bloodstream.

Sounds like histamines.
 
The welts- it is a histamine reaction. I get that from non misses too sometimes
ESPecially recognizable cuz they grow over time that's classic and why I picked it out if it doesn't bruise after is another sign
