Hey BL, its been 4-5 days since ive last IVd. while i was moving heavy boxes today, i realized my arms were killing me. its gotten to the point where i can't even open a car door with out cringing in pain. please let me know if anyone else has experienced this, i tried to search but couldnt find anything.
 
Doesn't happen only with veins, it happens with everything. Try to stick a needle in your biceps or shoulder 200 times and see how it feels after...lol
 
Use good needle hygeine (sharp clean needles, micron filter, etc). Keep the injection site clean and sterile. Use as small a guage of a needle as you can comfortably get away with. Apply a hot compress afterwards to help the site heal. Try to avoid "fucking your shot" - slipping out, puncturing/scraping the vein, etc. And don't inadvertently do an intramuscular injection.

Generally IV's shouldn't result in your arms being lame. Perhaps you're getting the flu or something? It may be best to see a doctor.
