epipen injection into thumb

This weekend was horrible, I had two reaction to the water, on friday it was with rain, and had to give me 2 shoots of Epipen, and than I was better but shaking badly from the Epipen, and yesturday just by sweat I did a reaction and again the Epipen but just once, and I didnt even went to the hospital after, his that dangerous if I dont go???? And his it dangerous I have to many shoots?????

It started only in the injection site. But now its in other areas for ex my chest it itched so bad that I noticed a bruise, which is un normal for me.

m also allergic to several medications (antibiotics) and my doctor said I might need an epipen when I take them to keep me alive until I get to a hospital. Just about all antibiotics close my throat. But I thought epipens contained epiphenephrine, and was told by a friend that it's bad for those with a heart arrhythmia. Has anyone here with PVCs had to use an epipen for an anaphlactic shock reaction, and if so, was it safe for the heart? Thanks.

Greetings, This post may be to late to be of benefit but for several years I have benefited from Hyaluronic acid (Synvisc, Hyalgan, Orthovisc) injections into the base of my thumbs (Basal thumb arthritis). Typically, I need injections every 6 to 8 months. Sometimes sooner and once in a while one or the other thumb will not require treatment for twelve months or longer.

Hi, welcome to the forum, as such epipen are not available yet. Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding. Alternatively, the same drug can be given by the local health care provider or you need to go to emergency department.

Hello I have severe reactions from insect stings especially bee stings. Its so bad that 1 or 2 stings will put me into anaphylactic shock. I have over 5000+ PVC's a day and the docs say it is a supposed benign condition. (which I do not believe). My wife has never had a pvc or palpitations. Anyways, I have to carry around a epipen everywhere I go. Last year I was working in my back yard and was stung twice, once in the face under the eye and once in my arm.

Since then my wrist has become weak and more recently I developed a trigger thumb in same hand, my right hand.

With the talk of EpiPen in Michelle's post earlier today it got me thinking about my problem with needles and other self infecting skin damage devices. I am hoping that maybe someone will have some ideas or at least where to look for help with this. My problem isn't the normal fear of needles. I can get shot or blood drawn with no problems. Well except I have to be able to watch what is going on.If I can't see it happening I will pass out.

Give the injection a little bit more time, but odds are, it isn't going to help. Trigger finger/thumb surgery is very successful and fairly quick if that is something you are considering. Best of luck!

t show anything except inflammation around the bottom joint of the thumb (I had developed pain in that joint by then). He did a steroid injection at the base of my thumb a week ago and I am seeing a little improvement. I also have a "nodule" between my thumb and index finger that he thinks may be sesamoiditis. I can't find much information on sesamoiditis in the hand. Would a cyst have shown up on an MRI without contrast? This nodule has not gotten smaller since the injection.

About 6 years ago, I gave a friend an intramuscular injection. After the injection, I poked my thumb with the needle and it caused my thumb to bleed. There was no visible blood on the needle or the injection site. What are my chances of having contracted Hep C?

Hi! Yes, it is possible that if you have rheumatoid arthritis, one joint is more affected than the rest. Another possibility is De Quervain's tenosynovitis of the thumb joint. Treatments for this generally include any of the following in isolation or a combination or 2-3 of the following: rest, ice packs, splinting, anti-inflammation medication, and/or cortisone injection.

i have severe pain still and it radiates down into my elbow and hand. the pain in my hand goes into my thumb and some of my fingers. i want to know if this is normal. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/295962'>Hand Nerve Pain After Shoulder Surgery</a>.

I was rushed to emergency, given benedryl and sent home 4 hours later. I got an Epipen for I was told, although rare, that I could have a secondary reaction within the next week. Sure enough November 5 I had a second reaction (bi-phasic reaction). I was given the epipen by my mother for I passed out and couldn't give it myself. Back to the hospital.

t say that you were really going into an attack----- but if had been me I would have stabbed my EpiPen into my thigh and then gone to the ER. Better safe than sorry. You might also want to be cautious about any other medications in the same drug class as Zithromax, Your doctor should know but Dr.

Last Friday around noon I went to stand up and had my legs fold under me from extreme pain. Kind of like if you have done too much exercise, but 1000 times worse. After about 4 hours of repeated falls every time I tried to get up or sit down I finally got dressed and headed to the VA ER 2 hours away. Turns out my Glucose was at 1104. No that is not a typo.

I have been having panic attacks ever since early 2015 when I was first ever stang by a wasp and went into anaphylactic shock.(the er doctor said I am allergic to bees/wasps/hornets venom. That day I was rushed back into the er and bum rushed by 5 different nurses and a doctor, one nurse asking me which arm I want the epipen in? I am like Idc I can't breath stab me! ) I almost died that day, and now I have been having panic attacks almost every other day.

Hey, Katie - if you were injecting point down, then I think the pushing together of the autoject would be fine. For the arm injection that you described, you might be going too deep into your arm. Copaxone is a sub-cutaneous injection, which means it's supposed to go into the fat, not the muscle. You don't want to push into the skin too hard because you'll go through that layer.
