Of course it's "crunchy" when you use a single use syringe 10 times. That thing is probably duller than a beach ball. Use a new pin everytime you break skin.
 
I dont care how dull your needle is your veins should NEVER feel crunchy.

Thats some shit you need to go see a doctor immediately for.

The worst feeling you can get from shooting up with dull needles is like tough fibery tissue....it should only cause a bunch of scar tissue to build up....and scar tissue is just fiberous, not crunchy.

I shot up for about 2 years and I used each needle about 20 times before moving onto a new one(I know its bad but its what I did when I was an addict to save money). I never felt crunchy veins. The worst I got was just really thick scar tissue thats hard to shoot through/or find a vein.
 
The only thing I can imagine that would cause a "crunchy" feeling is if you got an infection and its causing your flesh to harden in a weird way, or its some type of scab thats crunchy....

im not sure, but I do know that you should stop shooting up in that area immediately and go see a doctor.
 
I absolutely CRINGED when I read your post. For Gods sake man, if you're going to inject a drug learn how to do it as safely as possible.

-ALWAYS use a clean rig
-Injecting pills is dangerous and stupid, but if you're going to do it, at least use micron filters to reduce bacteria and binders/fillers that clog your lungs and cause emphysema.
-Don't cook/heat pills

Re-using needles will render your veins totally unusable and damage your circulatory system. Don't do it.
 
sounds like a really bad scab, perhaps an infection. looking at the post above ^^ shoudl give you enough reason to never use a needle more than once though.
 
fucking u guys got me trippin my arms are the usual sore at the site of injection(messed up afew times) if something weird happens within a day then ill go to a doctor. im guessing it was just the needle or im pushing it in to slow ill rotate spots now
 
It's probally scar tissue..re using rigs results in nasty track scars, collapsed veins, scarrig of the vein wall, etc. Been there and got the scars still to this day...use a new rig.

Just realize that the people who replied to your post probably have DECADES of H use under their belt between them and NONE have ever experienced what you describe. Don't want to scare you any further but please don't just shrug it off and hope it gets better like a cold sore!

You know you're doing damage by shooting up, make sure to do the least amount of damage you can by using a fresh rig. Hope it turns out to be nothing!
 
okay now my viens are fucking killing me , all the spots where i stuck the needle yesterday are red and sore and hard. im thinking about maybe going to the emergency room. maybe i should give it another day. ive had this happend before but not this out of control. my arms look like a massacre scene.
 
If it's that bad GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW. I personally haven't shot up anything but you can't be in a good spot.
 
you need a NEW needle everytime dude...i was thinking youre hitting scar tissue....but if every site is red and painful youre needle prob. had bacteria...and you got an infection...GO TO THE ER like now!
 
Your arms look terrible dude. I was shooting every day for like 2 or 3 months at one point. I used a new needle every time and my arms never looked like that and now I don't IV nearly as often and I have no track marks or scars or anything.

Use a new needle every time and use like a 30 gauge if possible.
 
dude you most likely have an infection go to the ER now...ive been IV ing for about 6-8 months straight and my arms dont look like that....i use a clean pin every time and alt. injection sites...u need to be more careful!

While that is common sense to you most of the world treats it as "Whoa this new dangerous thing came with a manual? I'm not going to read it." I had the same reaction.... crunchy veins, no thanks.
