A member asked:

My foot and ankle are swollen because i missed the vain when i was shooting ice. what can i soak it in to help it???

Swelling: I would suggest That you stop shooting drugs ! You can use warm water soaks with a little Epsom Salts. Watch for infection and if redness associated with pain occurs please see a doctor
