Scared About post injection pain HELP!!
I had been iv'ing Heroin recently pretty often, most often in the crook of my arm.
I am a two days off dope...and my arms have a funny tingling sensation, kinda like my arm is falling asleep every now n then.
I asked a long time IV'er and she said I had probably hit a tendon by going too deep or poking around and that it should go away in under a week. I kinda trust her, since she has had a shitload of IV experience and really knows her needle.
Anyways, like I said, it been 2 days since I shot up and my arms are kinda tingling/feeling wierd.
What advice can you give? did I hit a tendon? Or a nerve?
Note: When should I seek medical attention? I will def will go to the ER if I have to, but I have no idea how to deal with the situation of me being an IV heroin user going into the ER saying my arms feel tingly/wierd. I'm 100/ positive this is not from the WD, which is relativley minor. maybe someone cud give me advice on admitting i'm a junkie iv'er (or was)
