I know the risks of this is huge but the amount of veins there are unreal especially running from the bottom up the side , i wouldnt try the top ever again OUCH lol

Just wondering if anyone ever bothers going there at all ? and if so their personal results ....
 
the only reason i ask is cos i havnt used in a long time but when i do i IV but my veins are often hard to find and i dont like over using the obvious one on the inside of the elbow too much and was just looking all over my body for where i would go when i next use and i noticed the amount that i spoke of on my foot are packed with them , i did try the top once before and as i said ouch never again lol

the actual best part of my body is my chest, i have really great veins there but my arms are rubbish usually after a very short time , its a shame cos i have some great veins that i could use before when we got the really thin syringes here but due to cost we dont get them any more and makes my choice more limited cos the veins that are great well when i say great i mean easy to find well they would be if we still got them small needles but the ones our local drug action gets are really crap and too thick a gauge for me
 
Yeah I used to shoot in my feet when my arms gave out.
There is a fat vein just above the nob in the foot facing towards your body and the same vein goes down and then up on top of the foot in front of the toes. That is a good vein to hit - and yes it rolls a bit but just grab your foot firmly with one hand and cut of the cirkulation and inject with your other hand.
 
Chest veins are great if you have someone to do it for you. Otherwise don't you need to be some kind of contortionist?

Note that some very small veins on the fingers (including one on the palm of your hand in the continuation of the thumb) are often astonishingly good. That's because they're encased in muscle tissue, contrary to that chunky vein on the back of your hand, which looks great and big, but tends to be as slippery as an eel.

The foot? Even if you hit the one on top of the foot you will notice the shot pools for some time before it gets carried on, and you may in fact for some length of time think you've missed before the rush comes. As to that ankle vein, it looks great but it it difficult to hit. It keeps either slipping out of reach or it deflates and vanishes like some coral reef creature. But as DeLee says, using your free hand as a garotte is a good idea.

Nah very easy in front of a mirror , just hold the needle in with one hand so it doesnt move and then the other hand controls the plunger
 
I would avoid the foot if at all possible, for a few reasons. It is the furthest away from the heart you can get, and it will take some time for the shot to travel onwards and upwards. Also, if you end up missing, your foot is going to hurt like a motherfucker, and the potential for an abscess/infection increases greatly due to its distance from the heart. Next, the veins roll very easily so they aren't as easy to hit as you might imagine, despite them being seen easily. The veins in the foot aren't in fact round, but more so oval shaped. This makes it easier to pop thru the back of the vein and miss partially.

If you have NO veins left in your arms/wrists/hands, then you need to either - Take a break from shooting up and let your veins try and heal, or take a look at a vein map and find some other veins in your body that are easier, and safer to hit than your foot.

I know you said your options are limited, but it would be in your best interest to try and find the smallest gauge syringes as you can. Ideally 30g or 31g. I don't know where you live, but they sell them OTC this should NOT be an issue. Alternatively you can go to a needle exchange, or order them off of the internet. They are very cheap.
