Health - lil bumps from iv use days ago? ok or bad?

[Donmeka]

at first SWIM thought it was an abscess but SWIM looked at pictures and it looks nothing like what SWIM has seen. it is barely painful sometimes not at all, if swim extends his arm all the way he feels slight pain. it isn't red at all no weird looking symptoms except a bump feels kinda like 2 next each other. SWIM just doesnt know if it can be serious or not.

SWIM had a similar situation on his other arm and it went away today is a little sore but there is no longer a bump. should swim put ice or warm pad and see if it goes away like his other arm or could swim ave an abscess? SWIM is a little afraid but has heard that an abscess is very painful and SWIM thinks it is just what happened from a missed shot and will go away given a couple more days. this experience has been enough of a bitch that SWIM will never try IV use again oh and his use is not at all besides the past week or so less than 1- total tries/experiences.

It is likely but not certain that SWIY: (a) missed the vein and shot into the muscle, which would leave some bruising under the skin, (b) went through the back of the vein and bruised the muscle/ tissue which would also leave bruising.

If it goes away in a week or so, there is probably nothing to worry about.

thing is its not bruised or discolored at all SWIM is a lean build and gets barely any pain at all from it, its nothing that makes him cringe or go ow. as he types all he feels is the bumps presence. SWIM will give it a week and hope it goes away or see a doc when he can. SWIM just hopes its nothing since there is no feeling of anything serious or look of anything serious.
