hi all - i have been very foolishly using my femoral veins for a little under 9 months now. not always in the groin; if i can find a deep vein in the upper thigh, i use it. this has caused DVT's to form, which i use a medication for. but i could always come back to the groin for at least a few times after the spots in the thighs have blown out. for the past 5 days, when i try for the groin, in the exact same place i've used, i get bright red, frothy artery blood. i feel for the pulse, it's right next to where the vein should be, but the blood isn't right. what happened here? where have my veins gone? i am terrible at hitting surface veins. i have a needle obsession, especially when i can hit a vein with a 90 degree shot. other routes of administration aren't an option. quitting right now isn't an option. i know the risks and the negative ink this post may get, but i'm just trying to figure out what happened to my veins? i thank you in advance for any assistance.
