Hey guys, I'm back-the girl with no veins,or at least very few left, who's a hard stick. My neck, arms, legs, boob, hands, wrist veins are all gone and lately I've been hitting small little blue blood vessel looking veins in my palm or hand. No matter how slow I inject it hurts like hell and kinda blows up a little, but the swelling goes down after a day or two. I know it's not missing because it registers the whole time but they're hard to hit because the needle is pretty much all the way out when it registers. I just slowly and patiently inject over the course of 10 minutes and it works okay but I dont know how much longer they're gonna hold up.
The reason I'm here is because the only veins I haven't exhausted are my feet, my groin, and some little blue vessels in my palms and fingers. I have a girlfriend who has shot up in her groin for years and she says its a great vein that lasts forever with a great rush. I'm really scared to hit this one as you have to go in blind at a deep 90 degree angle and it lies right next to the femoral artery. I read the post about injecting into the femoral vein but a few things confused me-it said to feel for the pulse and inject next to it towards your private parts, but where i feel the pulse end, I'm past the "crease" of where my thigh meets my vagina and I've seen people inject the groin, its ALWAYS in the middle of the crease line. Second, I can see all these great veins in my feet, esp after a steamy shower, but everytime I put the needle in, it's not in the vein! It's driving me crazy! It looks like its right there and Ill fish around left to right and it won't hit. I'm guessing they're big rollers but why am I having such a hard time with them? I'll try to pull the skin taught but it doesn't work. Any tips? I also heard there are some veins you can't see between your knuckles. I've hit one before that I could see between my pinky and ring finger knuckles but haven't tried in between other knuckles, simply because I don't see/feel anything.
I also have tons of friends who said one of the first veins they used up was a great one running up the backside of the arm from the elbow to the wrist. I have never seen this one on me nor can I feel it. I've tried fishing for it, but alas nothing. Every expert shooter friend I have can't even find it on me and it baffles them. Anyone have tips on how to hit this large vein or where it lies? I've used a tourniquet and it doesn't help.
I know this post is long but I wanted to make sure all my options are open. Please and thank you for all your help.
p.s. NO LECTURES PLEASE. MY LAST POST GOT A MILLION AND ONE LECTURES OF PEOPLE TELLING ME TO "GET HELP" which I'm obviously not going to do unless I'm ready to, so SAVE IT.
