Usually Smoke H, Shot Up On The Inside Of Elbow On Both Arms Continuously, Formed A Hard Sore Lump. Solution ?

Hello, i usually smoke h, but have been shooting it the past week or two, at first it was hard to find a spot so when i finally did (on the inside of my elbow on both arms) i shot up in the same spot continuously until it formed a hard lump, which at first was sore to the touch and i could not straighten my arm all the way, but that went away and now it is just a hard lump it seems to have gone down a little bit but is still there. Please help me out, i don t know what to do and i have no insurance.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. You have a dependence on hashish and it is an opioid that can cause you to have infection and inflammation of your veins when used intravenously apart from causing you to have terrible forms of symptoms of dependence. It would seem to me that you are physiologically and psychologically dependent on the drug and it would be best to consult with a psychiatrist who deals with substance abuse and dependence issues or visit with a substance use counselor or therapist to find solutions to your problems. You may need surgical debridement if the area is infected and this needs to be determined by your psychiatrist if you would need a referral.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
