Styptic powder is not meant to be injected. Blood clots are a serious thing, too. It would be nice if styptic powder still stopped your bleeding, but had a chance to cause clot related problems at the moment it was injected.
Upon injection, you could get a message that says "You feel a horrible cramp in your leg." This is deep vein thrombosis. It has a chance to go away, or a chance to break loose and become a pulmonary embolism, which would cause you to have a hard time breathing, then die. Blood thinners would clear it up. Warfarin isn't in the game, but alcohol could have some percent chance of fixing it.
