Injected Morphine In Hands, Arms, Swollen And Warm. Do I Need To See A Doctor Or Is There Anything I Can Do?

i injected morphine 3 days in a row in both hands and arms, both hands are swollen and warm. I have a hard time making a fist and they hurt pretty bad. I have been putting ice on them which hasn t really helped. Do i need to see a doctor or is there anything i can do? It has been a couple days and it seems like they arent getting any better.

What were the medical indications to take morphine? were you prescribed by a Doctor?If yes , then just apply thrombophob gel to sites and switch over to your doctor for alternative medicine.If you are on self medication,it is a dangerous thing as it is habit forming and leads to dependency
