H - burns like hell - what gives?

Fuck man, I appreciate the "advice" most of u
R giving me but wow, I totally see where younger or newbie-er
Ppl get all freaked out and upset by your insults or "answers"
When they do or ask about doing something dumb

I mean seriously, I used to do it too (years ago I had a diff
Login name etc but it got lost cuz I forgot it snd the password)
....I digreSs, I used to be rude like some of the above posts,
Calling the OP Fuckin stupid or you are a total
Fuckin idiot for doing that etc etcZmmmm there were
A lot of insults thrown, and all over something
Silly like this; honestly I'd learn more if ppl weren't
Saying how fuckin stupid I am (well, sorry, not
LEARN more, just pay attn more to those same ppl.
I'd be inclined to listen because I know they actually
Care about what happens and aren't just taking the
Opportunity to yell at someone who did something
Stupid (which I know ppl love to do, esp on here)

Anyways, u can't veleive how fucking rude and obnoxious
SOME of you are, it becomes SO clear that some
Of you don't even pass the age minimum for the
Site. I don't know why I decided to post this tiday, I guess I just
Got fed up with seeing these kinds of posts everywhere.

Its in every thread that has some sort of less-than-smart question
Or comment.... 3 or 4 ppl come in and just burn the
Shit outta the poster until the thread gets closed or some of question takes
Their attention away. Anyways, I just thought I'd
Say that maybe everyone should grow up a littke


And about my stupidity, yes I know I'm being dumb but
I do think that its being blown up a fair bit.... I've seen
Swelling, infection, puss.... Most if not all the time your body clears
It up so I just wanted to see if it would do that on its own...
I'm really scared of my wife finding out, I've been
Wanting to quit for a long time I just hate it all$
So badly but I haven't had a good chance to do it,
I just know it might end our marriage because I've been
Dishonest about this for so long, she has every right to be mad
About something like this being hidden for over.a year now

I know nobody wants to help me, but is there any type
Of injury that could be similar in symptoms? Anything I
Could even tell the wife what happened a while bqck and
Anything at all that would cause a lump to show in my leg
kind of close to the surface and to hurt a little
And whatnot? I will be honest with the doc but
Anything I can tell my woman so that she doesn't run off with
My baby? Its only another week to 3 weeks and I'm in the methadone
Program, I can't wait, then I don't have to hide or$
Pretend things, I can just be honest from then
On.... Again I know most of you think I'm a stypid fuck of
A loser, but maybe you could overlook that for 5 mins
And give me a suggestion of what I could say happened...


I.E. I was biking and fell and when I did my chainring dug into my leg
Causing an infection... I dunno
 
I don't mean to seem ungrateful or stupid but it just
Seems unneeded to get all mad at someone when
The same advice can be given without being all
Rude
 
^ whoa. whoa. WHOA, dude. do you even know where you are right now?

bluelight? harm reduction? ring a bell?

if you're going to go out of your way to be an asshole, atleast form sentences and paragraphs correctly. there isn't one person here who is just going out of their way to be an asshole. remember.. YOU were the one who made the original post. YOU were the one asking for advice. what happened after that is what happens on every fucking forum in the world. people responded with their own personal opinion.

thankfully, most people here can't (in good conscience) ignore someone remarking on their infected, pus-filled injection site. nor do they want someone (who made the decision to BRING IT UP IN THE FIRST PLACE) to make excuses as to why they can't or won't have it treated by medical professionals.

so you don't like the answers you're getting?

then go somewhere else.
 
All I'm saying is that peole don't need to be dicks
About it.... Its just as easy to say "hey man, get to a
Dr that's really serious" as it is to say "woah fuck
You're stupid what the fuck is wrong with you buddy?"

I reali2 this is a harm reduction site, I just don't get why
Its become so pretentious and "holier-than-thou" in
The past few years. You used to be able to ask
Anything on here at all and the most you'd get is
"Hey man, sounds like you'te really making a bug
Mistake think about this before trying that."

Now good luck getting someone to offer a correction
Without ragging on you for something and making
You look like a total idiot. Its like everyone on this
Site has become a "junkie doctor" who knows everything

Its not nearly the community it used to be, I posted
Originally to get any thoughts on what cut might be
In my dope, not to have people tell me not to shoot it
Or that it shouldn't burn, I know it shouldn't burn that's
Why I'm asking

And about the lack of proper sentances, I apilogize
Profusely for my lack of good sentance structure and
Grammar, I truly am sorry, but my phone doesn't allow
Me to see the pist as it will show up so I'm left to just post and hope it works
Out, is that ok with you, sire? God, this site used to
Be great, u never needed to worry about havung bad
Grammar or spelling badly, now you get ragged on
For everything
 
I don't see ONE post in this thread calling you stupid, or insulting you at all for that matter. Some people (me included) are being aggressive in telling you that you NEED to get medical attention, but how is that being misinterpreted as insulting? You're acting like this is no big deal, when in reality it is and needs to be treated as such.

I think that you just aren't hearing what you want to hear and as a result, you're trying to make us feel guilty and unqualified.

Seriously, where did we tell you you're stupid?

OK, well, then, sir. PLEASE, take it from a 22 yr old who has been a member of BL for about 5 years and who has had 3 abscesses, gone to the ER for all of them, taken antibiotics for all of them and who hasn't lost any limbs / had anything serious happen as a result BECAUSE I knew what I had to do. You have to suck it up, realize that you're not a kid anymore and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your actions. YOUR WIFE?! I think, in the long-run, she'd be more upset if something serious happened (i.e. losing a limb) if she found out you stuck a needle in yourself, something you could get HELP with, whereas once you've lost a limb you can't do anything about it, it's gone. In the interest of harm reduction I hope you will listen to some of us who actually know our shit and are looking out for your best interest.
 
canadiancheshirecat, it's like we just walked into a party and saw you take a hit of crack and go into seizures. There's a need for medical attention immediately. We don't just wanna stand around and say, "Well if he stops having a seizure on his own, he's fine, just keep him from choking on his tongue..."
 
Look sorry for taking shit personally, I just see
So any posts from people getting al worked up when
They can get the same msg across without (not this
Thread so much, I just was fed up, then have someone
Say wf is wrong with me, just got to me)

Anyways I'm going to the dr tomorrow or the next day
I think, they're clearing up I just want antibiotics
To be honest, but will they do anything else or just
Give me meds and send me on my way? Will they cut
Out the abcess or what?

It depends on how far along the infection is, but if it has progressed into a full blown abscess then yeah, they'll have to 'lance' it or whatever it's called. From what I've heard, once the infection starts if you wait more than 4 or 5 days to get help then chances are you'll have to have it lanced. If you go within the first few days of infection then it will usually clear up with antibiotics alone.

Any way about it, noone here can tell you for sure. What we can tell you though is that despite what happens as a result of you getting it looked at by a doctor, the end result will be MUCH better than if you just let this try and "work itself out".

Good luck man, glad to hear you've decided to get it looked at. Definitely not a stupid move :)
