Question 1

today i missed an injection of meth. i put a hot compress on ot and left it too long.  now i have a blister  on top of it. what should i do. ?

Accepted Answer

Missed it?: You might have a second degree burn or infection, either way report to ER

Question 2

i injected meth in my arm and missed why would someone tell me to use a quarter?

Accepted Answer

Call for help: Drug addiction is a serious problem. They probably wanted you to use that quarter and call,for help!
See an addictionologist ASAP or call the county mental,health society. Or go,to an emergency room and seek help before you lose,that arm, or your life.

Question 3

1st let me just say, i do not need a lecture. 2nd i've been clean for 6 years & relaps on meth for 2 days and am back on track and sober now. but i missed when doing a shot and want to know how to tell the difference between an abcess and a knot?

Accepted Answer

: While swelling and minor bruising can happen after a shot, they usually get better within a day or so. However, if swelling and discoloration persist, it may signify an infection. A lump under the skin that feels soft, mushy, and painful may indicate a developing abscess.

Question 4

i shoot up meth in my ankle an i miss. know it got a little shallow up?

Accepted Answer

: It is unclear what your question is. If you are aiming for a blood vessel and you miss, the drug would then be in the tissue beneath the skin. You will absorb it. There is infection risk, whether it is in a blood vessel or not. There is help to quit and you should seek recovery. Good luck!

Question 5

i have just injected my self with meth into my vein and it has swollen up and hurts i have missed the vein or busted it wot can i do to reduce swellin?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: A reaction like you describe puts you at very high risk for soft tissue infection like cellulitis or phlebitis.  You should see a doctor for an evaluation.

Question 6

two days ago i let a friend  shoot me up with meth in the neck i believe they missed the vain, because there was a shooting pain in my neck and since ?

Accepted Answer

Not your friend : A friend does not inject a friend with meth. They injured a nerve. Please, please, get away from these people and this stuff. Nothing in your life, past or present, should make you feel that you belong with these people. Get to a church or other faith or self-help community.

Question 7

mom did i use of meth did not miss now she has a rash and swelling?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Would you please state the question clearly.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

what would cause me to have hives and redness after shooting meth but didn't miss it felt like my vains and skin was burning like is was sat on fire or something?

Accepted Answer

: street drugs are not regulated for quality or quantity and may have harmful additives in them causing such adverse reactions. Pl stop - that will lead to everything good. You can seek help thru your doc or a local clinic. Good luck

Question 9

missed some of an iv meth shot about 2 days ago and area about 3 inches in diameter is bruised, slightly swollen, and kinda tender, but not in pain. cause for concern? wait it out you think?

Accepted Answer

Worst is yet to come: I am VERY concerned about you. The area may undergo necrosis, and you'll need to be seen if it does -- you'll know. But if you're injecting meth, this is NOTHING compared with what awaits you. The meth users I've autopsied have clawed their skin off before they died. You've been given "warnings" about other things that aren't true; the warnings about meth really are. You must stop, man.

Question 10

sterile abscess from missed meth shot inside elbow. about the size of a 1/4.  4 weeks, no drain no head. how long can it take to dissipate?

Accepted Answer

Drainage: Abscess needs drainage.  4 weeks of abscess is no good. Please see your doctor for drainage. Thanks.
