Heroin Hand slightly swollen

If you are using a belt or whatnot, make sure to release it before shooting or the added pressure from the shot can cause those fragile veins to leak/burst, causing the same sort of problems you're having.

Good advice. I see this a lot in newer users. You can do a lot of damage not loosening your tourniquet before injecting.
