Hey there y'all, I've been reading bluelight posts for a couple of years now but never posted. Glad to finally join!

Anyway, to the nature of my post. Two days ago I tried IVing some black tar for the first time. I was reluctant about shooting myself up for the first time so I had my friend who has been IVing the same tar for a couple weeks do me up. I choose the vein that runs along my forearm above the traditional junkie spot because it seemed to be pretty big and easy to hit. He registered in the vein but I believe when he went to stick in the plunger it went all the way through because it burned pretty badly and I did not get a rush. I was as clean as possible and no bump or swelling formed after the shot. There was only slight redness which went away 2 mins after. The only complication I have 48 hours later is some muscle soreness in my forearm mainly right below the injection site. It kinda feels like tennis elbow if anyone has dealt with that before. I have read many different posts and believe I have just irritated the muscle, and I'm sorry if this is repetitive but I just want to know if there is anything specific I should watch out for. I don't think I'm going to try an IV again because I'm just too worried about messing myself up, but I'm just worried about the situation. Thanks!
 
well it is good to hear you didnt have a good exprience with needles.

yeah your friend probably broke thrugh the other side of the vein-wall into your muscle. the one that runs up my forearm is nice and visible but usually even if i hit it correctly, there is still some soreness. you would always feel a rush if you did it correctly if you have decent heroin.
 
Thanks for the replies I was just a bit anxious because I've never used a needle before and I started reading all the horror stories. But yeah I think I'll stay away from them hopefully forever.
