PLEASE EDIT THREAD TO READ "POSSIBLE CELLULITIS" INSTEAD OF "PHLEBITIS"

Please excuse the low-quality webcam; my phone was a piece of shit when it was made in 2006, so this is all I have to work with. About 70 hours ago (almost a full 3 days), I shot up some really shitty methamphetamine that I shouldn't have fucked with. I should have scrapped the shot when I registered and the blood was more brown than red. I had been using this site very frequently like a dumbass because it's hard for me to hit elsewhere. I didn't experience any pain until about 15 minutes after injection and it wasn't even that bad. I just thought I had a miss where I had deadened nerves. 24 hours after administration the pain woke me up. I was going to go to the ER, but friends and family convinced me to ride it out and see if it heals. The pain and burning has gotten worse and worse and the redness has been spreading further and further. I started taking some old amoxicillin last night but I only had a total of 9 tablets at 875mg each. I know no medical diagnosis can be given online, but could anyone with experience take a look and say what it looks like and tell me if I should go or if you think I could ride it out? The pain goes really deep...into the muscle even.

Sorry man, we really can't debate or guess what's going on with you...

Go to your nearest medical facility and have it looked at by a doctor...now.
