What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation On Hands And Toes After Injecting Ice?

I just did a shot of ice into my left forearm and missed the vein and near instantly after pulling out got pins and needles in my left hand. The pins and needles have gone to my back and to my toes, my chest is tight and my left forearm is swollen and full of fluid witch the fluid then feel like its traveling through my body. On top of this I have 3 infected abscess that I m already seeing a doctor about. I ve missed a few times before but didn t have abscess then. Can it hurt you to still inject if you have an infected abscess ? Have I possible just let the infection into my blood ? Why is this miss so much more drastic then others ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Yes there can be infection in your blood due to abcess.
Medication like methylcobalamine with pregabalin will help; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

Thrombhophobe ointment may help you.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.

Repeated infection will damage your vein leading to miss out.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
Regards
