Using un sterile technique like contaminated needle or syringe may result in many harmful effects. Commonest is pyaemic infection like swelling, hardness, pus formation at the injection site, body pain and fever etc very next day or so. If so see a good doctor . Some patients are wise enough to carry a newly purchased disposal needle to hand it over to person about to give injection.
