when i had my shot today i put it all the way in and expirated getting a great big bubble, i noticed i had also half pulled the pin out so i pushed it back in and took the shot. when i pulled the pin out i noticed some blood on the outside of the bottom of the pin where it meets the plastic, and a little bit of blood on my cheek, after a swipe with a swab no more blood was on the owund. did i hit a vein?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

You might have nicked it, but I doubt any real damage. But I must say you MUST get the needle in to the base of it. Use a 1" or 3/4" if your not thick skinned and this may help avoid the problem. I always use my outer thigh it is much easier and I can make sure I am in proper location for the shot. Once you know your in the muscle and not the fat that you may have only just entered, you will know the feeling as I am sure you have in the past. Always asperate like you did and that is my way of doing it proper. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

you people need to stop worrying..... push the pin in, aspirate... if you do it right, you should get an air bubble(that will not hurt you), push the gear in, pull out the pin, and massage the area..... that's all there is to it... don't worry about any blood around the pin, or anywhere else near it... I can't count how many times I have given myself a shot in the quad, aspirated a bubble, shot the gear, pulled out, and had blood oozing out.... that means NOTHING.... it means I may have knicked a vein goin in.... NO BIG DEAL..... just put pressure on it to stop the bleeding, and go on with my normal daily routine.... THAT'S IT!!! it's really the easiest thing to do!!!!! ya'll trust me on this...
