What Causes Swelling And Bruising At The Site Of Meth Injection?
Meth was injected into my left arm to the right of my elbow a week ago it stung a little I did not feel it so I am sure it was a miss my whole forearm got swollen and hurt it looked bruised now it is a golf ball sized red lump it hurts to extent. My arm when I touch it and some time just. Quick spurts of pain how long is it going to be before it goes away is there any thing I can do to make it go away faster should I go to a doctor?
It happens due to vein puncture and clot formation. Nothing to worry about it. It would stay for few days and decrease. In case, you feel any pain, you can take pain killer and thrombophob gel. If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
