We move and groove and cut loose from fear, we kil
Okay, so I had some roxy today I'ved. I regesitered, slipped out, immediately stopped re-regestisterd(or so I thought?,it didn't burn or anything, but I had already had 75mg of it) and I had NO lump as a missed shot or anything,but my hand HURT and kinda swelled up...Was freaking out but the swelling has gone away(for the most part,maybe slightly swolledn but not noticealble) but it is still pretty damn sore where I injected when I move my hand up and down..did I hit a nerve, artery, missed shot with no lump???
 
Doesn't sound like you hit a nerve, as that causes a sharp pain that doesn't last very long, but hurts a lot. Most likely you missed part of your shot.
 
what did you do to your hand? you shot some pills meant for oral use into it, that's what, and like the above poster said, no you probably didn't hit a nerve because that's an unmistakable feeling of pain that goes beyond basically anything else, messing with a nerve in your hand would feel like someone is trying to pull your arm out through your fingertips.

Oh btw you shouldn't shoot pills! Even if you have a micron filter I'd error on the side of caution and skip shooting pills. I had a manic episode last month (I have schitzoaffective disorder) and ended up repeatedly shooting hydromorphone pills into my hand, and I ended up with a big abscess. I had to go to the ER to get it drained. Just saying be careful.
 
Yes, I know I shot a pill meant for oral use and shouldn't do it, I've just never seen that happen before, usually a lump appearas if I miss a shot, not a painful spot where it was shot and then a swollen hand...honestly it was probly my dumbass self, was in a hurry already high, had some xanax also so may have been a little ruff w/o realizing it when trying to re-register because I didn't wanna take it out, but anyway..hand is okay, just sore where I did it because I think I was a little ruff w/o realizing it I think..dumb dumb.
 
I missed a shot in my left arm shooting dilaudid and it did exactly as you describe. Went away just fine but took 2 fucking days.
 
Ya, now it's just sore and slightly swollen maybe, guesing that's from using a rig that had been used more than once(yes...I know,bad) still sore where I injected...been using that place for a while when I inject so I dunno what the fuck happened...usually I use the short tipped needles but had to get the ones that are the longer needles, really don't like those fuckers...anyway prolbly getting more 30s tomorow, I took my 8mg of Sub today like I'm suppose to...I feel like I need to get away from where I'm at and just get around new people...I can't stay sober in this place I don't think, every month it's the same damn thing, sigh....

Oh man that fucking blows, I completely lose all impulse control when I'm manic as well, so I can really feel your troubles there, being left drained of all emotions and energy and having to clean up the mess you made. I once injected some milky antihistamine pill solution that I hastily filtered through cotton with a needle that had been lying on the floor for a while and wasn't even sharp enough to penetrate my skin without using quite a bit of force and numerous attempts. I also wanked before and most definitely had my fingers around the ass crack and didn't even consider it necessary to wash my hands. I got herpes the next day and coughed blood. I didn't even feel shit off that pill, I was just curious and wanted to come off my stimulants desperately (IV MDPPP, the most insane rush I've ever had). Glorious, just glorious. It's amazing what once can get away with sometimes...
 
Sounds to me you possibly had a histamine release?
I'm not sure. Don't inject into that hand or even that arm for a few days (maybe try not injecting at all if possible) to see if the pain goes away. If not, you may want to see a doctor just incase you got some filler/binder in your system.. did you use a micron filter?
 
Hmmm, I've never had a histamine release with Oxy before, just with Morphine really. And no, unfourtunaltley I don't have access to Micron filters. The pain in hand is gone today, as an above poster said it took two days(maybe some minor sorenoss from where I was a little stupidly ruff, but can't tell cuz of what I've had today might be covering it up)...this isn't a common thing for me anymore as I now take Suboxone, but usually go on a vacation for about a week, but after this time, I SERIOUSLY think I'm done with those vacations. 500 dollars gone in three/four days is just fuckin ridiculous. Today is the last of the vacation, I have two 30's left, have snorted 165mg so far today, debating on rather to just save the other two for tomorow..Anyway....
