I have been using iv for about 6 months. I still consider myself a beginner. I miss more times than hit. I use my groin and legs so it will not be evident to others. I have two golf ball size lumps, one near my groin and ond on the inside of my knee. They are deep purple and hidious. They cause so much pain it is difficult to walk as they are both on the same leg. I htsterically sobbed when I look at them yesterday morning as they are getting bigger and so ugly. (Something you would see on a monster). Yesterday the one near my groin split and thick blood is oozing out. That one continued to ooze all night long and is now about half the size it was before. I am thinking that is probably a good thing.
The other one on the inside of my knee continues to get bigger. I purchased some drawing salve at the store and applied that onto a bandage and covered them, then wrapped them with an ace bandage. The pressure from the ace bandage helps to relieve some of the pain, which allows me to walk with a severe limp.
Please help me I am freaking out.
 
I think you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. If infection spreads in your body it can be fatal. Don't let the fear of getting medical attention for something that will expose your drug use threaten your life--or at the very least, your leg.
 
go see a doctor...be honest with her/him. HIPPA protects you from prosecution so you don't have to be concerned about that. If you leave them alone you can have some other major issues come up.
 
I am back to report on the two lumps i have. They have both split open with the help of hot compresses and drawing salve. The lumps are gone. I now deal with two open wounds the size of a silver dollar. They certainly are not as ugly as when I had the hideous deep purple lumps but still very hard to look at and also very painful. I trear them daily with neosporin and fresh gauze several times a day. I wrap them with elastic bandages tightly to hold the gauze in place. Also to keep them from rubbing against my pant leg. I thought I would continue to do this for a week. If i see no improvement I will be forced to go to the doctor. I am terrified of going to the doctor. I have witnessed doctors treating my son for an abcess and they cut his arm around the abcess without any medication causing him to scream out in pain. I guess this was his way of punishing an addict. I was livid but this cold hearted, uncaring doctor felt he had to teach my son a lesson about the cons of iv drug use. That pompous basterd who is he to inflict pain like that on a young man when he could have treated him in a humane manner. People make judgements and act according to their judgements. May karma pay him back 7 fold.
 
Please please please seek medical attention now! The groin is no place for a beginner to be IVing at. That big bump is called an abcess. Its an infection. If it hits your bloodstream you may die as it stands you may lose your leg anyway. I am going to be blunt get your fucking self to the emergency room now!!!!
 
Mate for fuck sake go and see a doctor. Do you understand the chance of that getting infected and how dangerous it could be? I would rather take a straight kick to the temple than I would run the risks you are.

The fact you've gone straight to the groin too man. Not wise at all there are several places not to use and that is one of them. Learn your technique and use sensible veins ffs.
 
Abscesses are not to be fucked with

You got lucky man

Many people who wait long enough for it to get that big lose limbs, or die. Or at the very least lose huge hunks of muscle and skin and that limb is permanently useless

Learn to shoot up properly or not at all. You shouldn't be missing ever. If you don't have at least 95% accuracy injecting isn't for you. Especially with those juicy newbie veins.

Plug it(aka squirt it up your pooper) very high BA, efficient, and nice rush. Better than oral, snorting, or smoking with your average drug
