Injecting - Leg pain

[Birkill]

Swim has been iv`ing in his ankle with no probs but today he shot up and now he has like a dull pain in his ankle area! Ive heard that the legs and such areas are prone to more problems then say your arms, can anyone give a diognosis for swim please!?

It is impossible to give a diagnosis from the vague description, however this could be due to a variety of things from hitting a nerve, missing the vein or hitting an artery. My guess would be a miss, even if it's just a little bit that didn't go in the vein but ended up in the surrounding tissue, this could cause inflammation which could lead to infection.

If the affected area becomes inflamed and then starts to spread and hasn't subsided in 24 hours, or gets worse within that time then seek medical attention, this is usually a sign of an infection.

Nah swims defonitly not missed, the pains still there alil bit now and it feels sort of in his ankle. The pain feels a lil bit like when u twist your ankle only not as severe?!

SWIY wilp most likely have hit a nerve as there are a lot of nerves in the feet. Mind if SWIY did SWIY would have felt some pain at the time. Unless it swells up I wouldn't worry about it.
