OK so Idk if this is even posted in the correct place but have a serious question.
I have been an IV user for several years & as a result of putting things like pills, vinegar & other crappy things in my veins, I don't have the voluptuous, juicy veins that I once did.
Recently I found a good spot on the thumb side of my wrist. I can feel the vein from my wrist into the bottom/palm area of my hand, running directly below my thumb. When I tie up, it does not pulse, but occasionally when I hit it, it gets like a numb yet tingly feeling. It is not painful nor is the blood bright red. Seems like every other vein I've used, except for the numb/tingly sensation. Nor does it bleed much after.
I'm just worried because for one I know the wrist is one of the easiest places to accidentally hit arteries. Second is the strange sensation (which I should add, is most def NOT a miss- I know exactly how that feels & the med I'm currently using hurts so bad if you miss that it's near impossible to do). Lastly, I just finished a shot & when I finished & released my tie, I was feeling a pulse as I was holding a tissue to stop the (minimal) bleeding. I couldn't tell if the pulsing was coming from the place I used or if it was just in that area.
OK guys any info would help. I appreciate it!
