Unusual swelling from inline shot

[red26]

Pretty sure this is where this belongs but... So being that I'm detoxing my desperation hit hard late afternoon yesterday and I needed to feel something different just to relax. Well while I was in ICU 2 weeks ago they gave me some phenergan(?)anti-nausiant and it felt pretty good. The doc gave me some to go home with and needless to say I tried bangin one yesterday. Now I did this after I got home from the hospital and I didnt have any reaction but yesterday my hand swelled up like a fuckin baloon!

Its still like this and has gotten somewhat larger with no discoloration. Its pretty big actually. When I straighten out my fingers they make divits. Its warm to the touch.Warmer than usual. When I press on it an indentation is left for a minuite or so and it slowly rebounds unlike an impact swell and theres minimal pain. Ima fuckin dumbass, I know , but I need some medical advice on this one. Typically I dont give 2 shits and I'd just go slam some more dope and wait it out but this ones got me alittle nervous. I do have full use of my hand with no/very little discomfort.

There was no pain at all when you did it?

Did it happen right away?

Inline shot is iv?

its hospital time for sure

We used to call it "the fat hand". I've seen several friends get it but it never happened to me. Most times it goes away in a day or two but we were a bunch of nasty junkies at the time and it would have taken a lot to get us to go to the hospital. I would usually wake up in the back of an ambulance on my way there. If it hasn't gotten better by tomorrow or if it starts getting worse you might think about going but I say give it a day.

Inline shot is iv? I guess inline is just my own slang but yeah. That shit burns going in, theres no 2 ways about that and the doc warned me about it taking this route. The swelling didnt start for about 2-3 hours. I think Im gunna wait a day or so before I go rushing into any ER but I have started taking levaquin just in case to help this old garbage can of a body I got. It hasnt moved and is still localized in the hand.

If you're not in pain and providing it doesn't get worse...........wait,but if you have any doubts.......straight to the er because you'd look silly with a hook bro.

I don't have a lot a lot of experience here,

I was wondering maybe somehow you got an artery but not full on, because it wouldn't take much.

Where was your iv sight?

[red26]

Oh yeah, it was a fresh rig. I THINK the swelling is starting to subside. I figured it'd be gone by the time I woke up but nnnoooooo. I used to shoot arterialy all the time once all my veins disappeared. Especially that one inside yer bicep. Like in yer armpit practically and boy did it suck to miss and hit my femur! Hittin bone is the werst man.

That anti-biotic is super potent so I'm definatly waiting to go to anyone. I got a bad panic disorder and that just lends to my worrying, even tho this would in most cases constitute a visit.

Sorry I just checked the last post. The site was that decent one ontop in the middle that splits in 2.

when your doctor warned you what was it he said exactly?

you've got a LONG pin if you're trying to hit in your bicep and you hit your femur or you're missing really bad
