Heroin Less of a chance of getting an abscess

what do you mean by "muscled it"???

do you mean intramuscular injection?

if thats what you meant than your whole question is pointless because thats what a IM is....its injecting a solution under your skin to form an abscess that slowly gets absorbed by your body.

I dont get why you wouldnt understand that?...have you never IM'ed before? when you do it, you get a lump where you injected...thats an abscess. You can rub it to let it dissolve/absorb into your body.

An abscess is an infection, not just a subcutaneous injection.

An intramuscular injection does not leave a lump underneath your skin, that's what a subcutaneous injection does.

When you do an intramuscular injection, your muscle absorbs the solution. This is different from when you miss a shot (a subcutaneous injection).
 
Thank you for clarifying that...its just that where I come from, my whole life, everyone I know has used the word abscess to typically mean any type of lump. Even my immediate family used the term in that context plenty of times. Sry if I was wrong.
 
Umm yeah i thnk this post got way out of hand. My girlfriend does not understand anything i try to explain to her. she muscles her shots (i know its bad) because her veins are way to small. She asked me if she added more water to her shot than will she less like get an infection resulting in an abscess. (I see no logic anywhere in that question but what can you do shes crazy) so i posted this to make her happy because she did not beleive my answer of "No". Thanx guys i thnk this thread is done
