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?

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.
