cant remember, nodded out
ok so today is my second time injecting opiates (yesterday was my first and someone did it for me)
so i just did a shot of hydromorphone in the"main spot" on your arm ( where your arm bends)
right after i regestered it and injected it my muscle right above it started to really hurt. its now hurting alot... what happened and will it go away?
 
ive only ived once and IMed dope once... both ways didnt hurt but idk i bet that spot would hurt... if u hit your muscle it will be sore i bet in that spot.... was there blood in the syringe? your post made it seem like it was IMed unintentionally, it should be ok after a while, if its super bad id look into it after a while... the pain can last a day i bet tho... im not too familiar with injections... obviously... but is it very bothersome?


edit: sry i double posted...
 
i guess maybe i accidently IM'd, yes blood went into the syringe when i pulled back, and yes it hurts quite alot. hurts to move my arm at all.
ohh and the shot didnt get me high at all
 
did u apply pressure after banging it? like idk if it would cause bruising but u know how it hurts after taking blood??

if it gets too bad or looks fucked up id go to the hospital... im not sure thats just an opinion... an IM could be bothersome though... if there was blood idk thats weird.... like i said i only ived once... i had a friend who shoots up do it.... it was sore a little after.... the IM in my deltoid wasnt sore at all....
 
I think that you slipped out of the vein and missed the shot. Due to the intense rush from hydromorphone you would know if you successfully IV'd it. Missing a shot of pills isn't good since you have inactive ingredients sitting in one spot since they aren't being moved through your circulatory system like when you IV it, so there is more of a risk of developing an abscess there. Keep monitoring it and if it gets worse you need to have it checked out by a medical professional.
