Missed vein

[alien221]

Was trying to shoot meth and I missed my vein.. I think I missed it on the outer skin side of the vein between my opposing side of the left elbow, the big one in the middle.

Anything I should know?

It's been about an hour and it's been itchy and swollen and red.

You can apply warm compresses and I would definitely keep an eye on it for potential infection (even more swelling, more redness, worse pain). Beyond that, I would do everything you can to maintain your health, i.e. eat well, get plenty of sleep, exercise etc at least until it is healed. Meth is pretty caustic so it’s no surprise that the tissue is irritated but at least the meth is not usually cut with anything too bad, or things which the body can’t break down. Did you filter the solution you injected at all?

Um na just mixed up to clear water solution.

It's less swollen less red just a bruise there now but still abit puffy.

Well .. I'm assuming I'll be okay.

Cheers

Yep, those are all signs of healing.
