So I’m fairly new to iving but never rly had a problem with it I got desperate and used a 25 g needle i usually use to IM ketamine with because I didn’t want to reuse my usual ones I use but anyways I used a different vein in my arm that’s straighter and thicker(I have very big veins anyways) and it seemed to go well at first I pulled back and blood came back started to inject and it burned more than usual so i stopped pulled back again blood came back up again so i continued and it still slightly burned but I kept going at the end just to make sure again I pulled back again when finished and more blood came back but when I pulled it out I got a decent sized welt did I miss somehow even after drawing back blood 3 times are did it hurt/swell bc I used a new location and the sheer size of the needle if anyone can pls help me out I’d rly appreciate it I’m kinda scared lol

Been doing this shit for about a year now and since the first i started doing it the main and first thing i got heavily into was scraping(no surprise there lol) weather it’s copper aluminum stainless ac units battery’s pretty much everything another thing it got me into was circuit boards I’ve been collecting all circuit boards from stuff I took apart and I even bought some military gold plated ones from eBay and I’ve been collecting all the pretty high grade ones and about to start refining the gold/silver/palladium etc if anyone has any tips about certain things to depopulate from a circuit board I’d appreciate it greatly

Well like the title said I’m somewhat experienced in shooting up but I’m out of town and ran out of my usual smaller gauged needles sadly and I didn’t want to reuse the same on so I tossed it but today I just said fuck it and used my 25 gauge IM needle i usually use for ketamine shots. But anyways I used a different bigger/longer vein in my arm(I have very thick veins) but I drew back there was blood that came back in it i started to insert but felt a weird burning sensation so I stopped drew back again got more blood so I finished it still burning more than normal so at the end I drew it one more time just to be positive and more blood came back and I got the usual rush but now I have a slight welt where the injection site was and it was stinging for the first 3-5 minutes still feels slightly uncomfortable 5-8 min later and still have a decent sized welt and I’m a lil nervous is everything going to be ok? Was it bc I used a thicker than normal needle so it hurt worse and caused swelling I don’t think I missed but I’m not quite to sure what else could’ve happened unless it was something to do with me using 25g instead of 29-30. I’m just really kinda freaked out and would appreciate any help sorry for the long rant I’m spun asf after that shot lol
