How To Treat Painful Swollen Red/ Feverish Arm Where Needle Broke While Finding Vein?
I recently decide to shoot meth. I was shooting it about 2-3 times a day for a week.using the same needle. Yesterday I couldn't find a vein and my needle broke. Well my lower right arm is swollen red and feverish. Not the whole lower arm but, at least half of it. I can't straighten or bend my arm with out extreme pain. What should I do?

Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, chances of infection is quite high if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine,
1) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
2) Tab Acetaminophen three times in day
2) Tab Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice in day
hope this information helps you, take care and have good day.
