It started when I lost someone dear to me, I almost ran mad, they had to call a local nurse who administered an injection to me, the thing off me, when I woke up it started again, I was given another dose, it got me so high that I don't know anything again until I slept off again.

This is how I started requesting for it, I started taking it to get over the trauma, the lady noticed I was getting addicted she refused giving me saying it's dangerous, I had to call my pharmacist friend to get regular supplies, though he didn't stop warning me but I'm already addicted taking it every 4hours, trying to stop when I started seeing the damages but I couldn't.

The fatigue that will follow is unbearable, I will end up taking it to feel okay again. I attached a picture of my hands with the damage.

I need help, I want out so that I can live my normal life but I don't know how, has anyone been there before? How did you get over it? I don't want to die from this. Please help me

Please mods help me move it to fp

Sorry you go dey fine..

Try meditate...

Their is a spirit attached to this behavior...

I intentionally took the picture while taking it so that people can know it's the true cause of the injuries

It's actually the injection I'm taking not the drugs, it's the part on my arms that I'm injecting it that turns to wounds, it starts healing when I stop taking it there but I kept going back there when I can't find any veins to inject it. I'm stopping today. I hid it by from everyone but I had to start exposing myself as the first step to get help. I have informed my friend to take me to hospital if I'm not able to manage the withdrawal symptoms

You need to seek help, addiction is the hardest thing to break away from but you can break free from it if you start doing things that are a distraction

Is it the injection that caused the injury? If yes then you are not ready to be free from addiction. Kuku cut your hand commot

Sorry, i will sound very harsh,

Bro. But you were warned by different health personnel of the c onsequencies. yet you went ahead, You were stopped, you sought for it through other means. If they warned you and you refused, what advise are we going to give you here that will help you? Why are you guys so hardend you can't take to good counsel until you are close to dearth ? Why ? ! Why take this slow path to hell ?!

What else can we say ? Go back to thesame people who gave you the medication, they may know the best way out, they may know who they cn recommend or the advise and drug to give you to reverse it. But you must first stop taking that drug. Stop it or you rot away like that.

I am sorry again if I sounded so harsh, I am just pained, that "no matter how hard you try to warn people of Hell, many will still want to go there and see for themselves, only to find out they ain't coming back".

Something must kill a man so please make this your own death.
DONT QUIT!...

I have a friend in which his brother was slammed on the hip wit the down of a ak 47 gun. He survived d hit but the pain that guy was passing was much. This was the same drug he was giving to for a longtime but it was stopped because he was adviced to stop. He listened because fly way no they hear they follow dead body enter grave. But your own has don much damage do well to stop it.

please how did the Pentazocine medicine cause you this?

I thought I heard it all.

How can you do this to yourself? There is no excuse for this bro... I think you have no love for yourself, otherwise you wont allow the temporary fix to degenerate to this stage... I believe I'd chose any sort of "unbearable" fatigue over harming myself to a point I might be amputated...

Ok

Damn it’s true that the drugs caused the injuries on your arm but it’s all on you for not quitting immediately you noticed early changes.
Op if you don’t quit now and get yourself treated I’m afraid it’s gonna get amputated eventually.

Op you are sick!
Look at your hand and you are still injecting that drug.
What sort of stupid addiction is this?
This one na madness…you are mad but you have no one to tell you.

Dearest Lord in heaven! Just how weak can we human be at heart? It is well. Oga, you will feel even more terrible if you had to loose your hand and still quit the drug. Double jeopardy be that fa.


Biko talk to your family for help... maybe go seek medical/rehabilitation help too. You need to stop....and you cant do it by yourself. NL isn't a rehab, you need physical help. May God Himself strengthen your mind. Pele....it is well.

Are you trying to kill yourself... Quickly get yourself into a rehabilitation center at a teaching hospital or federal medical center

Fast fast... Do that today

That hand is gone, it will take the grace of God and quality medical attention for that hand to heal again and I don't think that is possible with the kind of hospitals we have.
I would have advised you to break the habit loop but I don't think that is possible anymore.
Open up to your relatives and friends, you need support from them now more than ever. Let them understand that you are sick and need help.
Go to a good teaching hospital, if they can't help then they should be able to direct you to someone who can.
It's going to be hard, just put that at the back of your mind but with good and quality medical attention, you will be fine.

Visit your nearest psychiatrist. You can be weaned off the drug. You provided no explanation for how you sustained these injuries.

Many nurses particularly those on night shifts out of negligence and lazy attitude to work have sent alot of ppl down the path of addiction.

How can dey call a nurse for you and she came to administer medication in your house for ordinary breakup issues? What exactly is this trauma you were talking about that will make a whole nurse come to your House with pentazocine to give you? You can't tell me she used pentazocine to manage your emotional outburst over loosing your loved one?

And you have 3 kids.
Nna your problem pass my own.

Fada lawd 😳😳. U mean continues injections caused tissue damage to site ? . You risk loosing that hand already. Where are your family members. Please just talk to them and do what they tell you to

So, you lost your wife and few months later you want to take your own life too? Leaving the kids to be cattered for by who? Better change your ways and stop taking that drug. It will do you good.

If your arm is amputated…

Would you switch to taking shots with your legs?

If that too eventually gets cut off then what’s next… your head?

Hmmm… 🤔let’s wait and see!

You have to be stronger than your emotions dont let your cravings control you

Rip to you

They shouldn't have gone deep
Haba

That hand is gone already

Oya enter leg, so we knw say na the drug take your arm and your leg

Sorry mate.
You need to take a strong stand on stopping your addiction, that's your first step. Make that resolution and stay put.
Go back to that your pharmacist friend and ask for drugs to help in addiction treatment, I think they are two or so.
Be ready to engage in withdrawal lifestyles from addictions and you will be fine. Get close to family members that love you and can help you fight this addiction then you are good to know.
Your wound will also heal if you adhere to your pharmacist and doctors instructions.
All the best!

You see this drug?
Pray you don't use it ever, Pentazocine is extremely addictive, the high feeling it gives is something else n it's ability to calm one down n induce sleep is on another level. Trying to discontinue it results in one becoming very weak, losing zeal to do virtually anything, pespirating badly. All this symptoms abate when you get a shot of it. It's a very crazy addiction that i'm hooked on too, one knows the resultant consequences buh getting off it is very very difficult. My doctor friend told me of a senior registra in a Federal government hospital that was hooked on this drug too, introduced to it by his wife, sad thing is this senior medical doctor, almost a consultant died courtesy this same drug.

I've also had a very good friend's younger brother pass away, it is believed he died after injecting this drug instantly, his arm was totally swollen n rotten from the shoulder down to the fingers n had to be wrapped in bandage 24/7.
Please this is a huge cry n plea for help, medical professionals help us, prior to him coming through, believe me he's tried with all his will power n yet it's failed him. I was told o check into rehab in a federal university hospital n d cost of staying for the 3months or least 2months is very high n crazy.

Holy lord.
Addiction is very difficult to stop, you need serious help.

There's spirit behind every addiction. So I advise you go for deliverance to cast that spirit out.

When you stop it, get original honey 🍯, apply it to the wound after cleaning it with clean cloth and warm water, it will help the tissues regrow, heal the wound and revive the skin.

Or simply go for amputation. Your choice.

Do you work, how do you make money with such wound on your body, don't it have odour? Doesn't it scare people away from you? These are reason you need to stop. You need to pray ask God to cast away the spirit behind the addiction in you, you can't do it on your own strength.

Did the injection mk ur arm begin to rot..
Or u r using it for the pain.
First of u need a daily dose of ceftraxone injection for bacterial infection..
You need to clean that wound daily

You're now physically dependent on opioid analgesics. And that arm may be amputated if you continue.

You don't know how to give intramuscular injection and you're just injecting it directly into your skin pentazocine is only via intravenous or intramuscular route. I don't even know what to say to you.

Self medication kills.
