Suggest Remedy For Painful Swelling On Arm
Missed meth/ice shot in top of forearm a week ago. Full shot went into muscle I think. Painful large firm swelling. No bruising , put hot compress on which lowered swelling. Now is hard and swollen hot to the touch little pain. Have been taking ibuprofen 600 mg 3xday. Do I need to go to ER?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be internal bleeding beneath the skin "Hematoma" may take some to come around, and infection would be matter of concern, no more "Ibuprofen" hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
