Help With Injecting!

Hey,
Had a shot today and when i cocked back the syringe couldnt see any blood so went ahead with the injection. then when i pulled out the needle there was more blood than normal and i noticed a really small blood bubble inside the syringe. i was freaking out thinking i hit a vain and was about to call the ambulance but its been 15 mins now and i seem ok.
any advice on what might have happend?
 
You could of went through a vein,nicked a vein.

It happens!

If you aspirated properly your fine!
 
you're fine brother. probably hit a vein or blood vessel. keep pushing down on the plunger while pulling the needle out to avoid it creating a vacuum effect and sucking blood back into the barrel. freaks everybody out the first time!
 
Cheers guys,
i just checked out a few vids on injecting and they had heaps more blood than me.
must have been lucky the first few times not to get much.
haha ..me freaking out for no reason. its only my 3rd shot so im still a newb to it all.

and thanks "Buck Longhorn" i think thats what happend i will try it next time.

also when i pull back the syringe to check for blood it seems to move the needle around a fair bit. is there anyways to stop that.

and when i pull back the needle how far do i do it. (i know they say only a little bit) until i see air bubbles? i might be doing it a bit to far back.
just tryna make sure i dont hit a vain. pretty paranoid.
also i noticed about 0.5/10 of a ml stays in the syringe isnt that a waste? does that happen to everyone.
im injecting 250 twice a week in my thigh by the way.
and sorry for all the stupid anoying questions but id prefere to ask than fuck! sumfin up.
 
you could pull it back 2mls if you wanted...bubbles cant hurt you unless they get in your veins...where do you think they are coming from when your syringe is filling up with them...inside you so putting them back in wont hurt anything. Shit I have bubbles before I even inject.

It's one thing to have a few small bubbles from when you aspirate from the vacuum, but to inject with air bubbles in your pin is a bad thing when entering your body. IMO

you can just let the needle sit for a second and literally just tug real slight on the plunger, it doesn't even have to move back visibly, if you are IN a veing the blood will already be trying to move up the syringe and you should see red streaks coming in if you are staring at the base of the needle (the colored part that screws on to your syringe) that is all you need to do to aspirate effectively.

anything beyond that is overkill and like you said it is hard to pull back much on the plunger without moving the needle etc. so why bother.

Thanks man. apreaciate your advice :)
 
if you inject into a vein your gonna know it. you will get flushed and cough and bad taste like sucking on pennies. there is a risk of heart arithmea. so one must be very careful.

most of the time when you have blood run out of the injection site its a blood vessel. these will bleed like hell or be very short.

when you pass a vein and pull the pin out its like a rubber band it closes rather fast.
but once the vessel is poked it bleeds out.

You obviously do not work in the medical field. Bubbles cannot hurt you unless they get directly in you veins or arteries. They move to your heart and cause disarrythmia which can/will cause you to have a m.i. (myocardial infarction) aka heart attack! This isnt the movies where doctors squirt out a bunch of shit...I dont know about anyone else but I hate wasting the gear thats left in the syringe as it is...there is no way your gonna catch me squirting some out to get rid of some rediculous bubbles
 
in the medical field that's called the "air-lock" technique. it clears the syringe and avoids medicine from seeping back out of the injection site. "z-track" is another popular method as well. both involve injecting .1-.2ml of air along with the prescribed medicine. in short, as cobra said, air is not a big deal and often a good idea IMO
 
Your going to go through veins it happens. I got some into my bloodstream on Monday when I hit my left delt. I've done it before so I knew what I was about to feel. I sat down started coughing, felt like I was going to spew all over my room and was sweating like I was doing cardio . Only lasted a little over one minute. I did aspirate properly and there was no blood but I think I was right beside a blood vessel and nicked it after injecting.

As said above you don't need to pull back the plunger very hard if your in a vessel, the syringe will start filling almost immediately. I just pull up on it very lightly for 2 secs if nothing then I giver.

its strange how some people never hit a vain and some people do all the time they must be lucky i guess.
or is there a certain place on the thigh that is safer?????

There is a safer place on the thigh. All the major veins and arteries run on the inside of your thighs (you might say they were put there for protection) As long as you stay towards the outside of your thighs you should rarely ever hit or nick a vein. I have never had any issues with that area. You may still have a tiny bit of blood though because you are still penetrating your body. Its probably closer described as a capillary bleed
