Ive been hitting the same vein with clean as a whistle - micron filtered oxy for over a year now using 31g needles without any problems at all until I had to switch to black tar and suddenly I cant hit that spot anymore ... and I miss CONSTANTLY now ... it seems like if I draw back and get blood, then start plungin (and I go slow as shit with this crap), that within 10 seconds im starting to swell tissue and im not in a vein anymore ... what's weirder is I can stop, pull back and still get blood yet when im injecting, im swelling tissue ...

WTF is up with that? Can you be in a vein yet shooting outside the vein at the same time? What if its a weak vein?
It seems the only veins I can SOMETIMES hit now are deep in the forearm (1/2" down) and when I hit that, it's consistent and perfect yet it seems to be ever elusive especially now that im swelling up tissue all over the god damned place.
More questions:
When I miss and swell up, the skin along the vein seems to toughen up like leather and it seems like I can't penetrate it ever again like I use to and the swelling in some areas hasn't gone down in over a week. Should I be worried?
What exactly is an abscess? Are they hardened nodules under the skin?
Ive also noticed that veins I've hit even once, which were before ropeish and spongy will the next day have a hard knot where I hit the day before and that knot never seems to go away and along that vein when a few of those accumulate, I can't hit that vein anymore... what is that? The vein feels like it has nice definition, but its no longer spongy and it wont hit.
Thanks,
Buck
