I shot up morphine and missed my vein. I not have a hard lump under my skin. It doesnt appear to be an abscess cuz there is no head or discoloration. What can you suggest ? I do hot compresses and im taking penicillin. Do you know what this lump could be?
Hello there... A lump following iv injections may be due to inflammation of vein... condition called as thrombophlebitis... It simply resolve over time but thickened vein may be palpated for many times.... No need for treatment if it's not disturbing you... or do cold compression instead of hot...
