Missed my vein trying to shoot meth?

I just want to know if I'm going to be okay.

Maybe!! Stop using Meth. You are not going to be OK using meth. It will destroy your life. Shooting subcutaneously is the least of your concerns. Cardiac arrhythmias, infection, and many other side effects of Meth.
You most likely will be fine. Just watch for signs of infection such as redness, warmth, drainage, swelling, fever, or chills. Please consider researching help for methamphetamine abuse in your area or consult with a primary care provider. 
Thank you for the question.
