What should i do if a needle broke off in the muscle of my butt while shooting up. it isnt infected (yet) but still hurts. it happened yesterday.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the skin closed: Over the needle, it is not likely to get infected, assuming that it was a sterile needle. Either way, it should be removed.
