Hi and thanks for this query. I a so sorry to hear about what your friend reported. It is never a good idea to do drugs. the risk of infections like HIV/Hepatitis B and C, etc are huge. I am afraid she might have injured a nerve or has developed another complication related to this injection. Let her seek medical consultation.
