If I'm Dehydrated I Can't Always Flag Enough Blood To
If I'm dehydrated I can't always flag enough blood to inject a shot or if I do the sec I go to inject it immediately starts to burn( only places that I can get it to go an not burn are new an more delicate veins an in fleshy spots ) with that bein said what 4 days ago I' was havin one of those days , so before attempting to try search for new one I tried the spot on inside of my arm just below elbow , an on a slant . (This spot normally let's me even if the rest are actin up) I poked myself 3 times along same vein the first two trys at inserting it felt awkard finally on the third it went in ok an flushed but the sec i adminstered it began to burn , i took it out immediately , than two days after this my arm started gettin really sore , inflamed an red , an i could only move it certain ways without it hurting , I've been icing it,
an at one point i felt like I had a fever than 3rd day the inflammation an redness got much worse , i went to bed with ice on it but when I woke this morn it was worse an thru out the day , the redness an Slight inflammation has started to spread down the rest of my arm below; but it seems like the spot that the initial pain an inflammation started had now begun to look like a boil( but i kno that's not the case or if so a weird coincidence )an it even begun to look like there was head ( I) to i, finally cpl hrs ago i applied a super hot cloth for bout 3-4 min the sec I took it off spot looked like it was goin burst an the sec I put slight pressure on the pus blood an brown stuff started to gush/squirt out so I obviously i let it come til i couldn't get anything more to come out an also the skin was startin to feel like itd rip if more was drained now the inflammation has gone down more than half way and in the past hr I've had some clear liquid start to slowly seep out , an the intial injection spot an where the pus or stuff that came out looks white , still has inflammation an redness ,& white but not half as much as before , & no longer down my arm . what can I do at home to avoid goin to the hospital ? An what could possibly be the reason this happened ? I've been doing this for cpl yrs well I was on morphine an fent for a year but switched to methadone an only do the crystal meth recreationAlly
