Leakage?

[HC1]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with leakage at the injection site when I inject my cyp. I do it real slow, I try to take at least a minute, delt injects. Could it be that I am involuntarily flexing my muscle? Its not just a drop either its like a quick stream and then it stops and just dribbles a drop or two. Thanks.

How much are you putting in your delt?

wait 20 seconds after your done before your take the pin out.

I'm pinning 1 1/2 mils, 300mg total. I will try the 20 secs, thanks. I have a feeling it may have something to do with me standing when I give my shot. I've noticed it does it less when I sit. Maybe I tense up more when I stand I dunno. Sometimes it leaks and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for your input.

What size pin you using ? If it's a slin might need to go to a 1inch. I'd switch to glutes. I've hit thighs and delts and glutes is by far the least amount of pain. I only use Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in my delts.

23g 1". No pain really. I just like delts because it seems like it would be easier to see when I aspirate. I might try glutes next time and see how that works.

I don't even bother to asperate. If you look at the cases of people killed from air in a mainline is always involves 100s of CCs of air and an iv...

Rotate the spots you are pinning. One trick. Take a pinch (big one) of the muscle and pin into that. After you pull out let go of the pinch, oil will remain trapped. Then massage for 60 sec as normal.

Never had an issue myself with oil coming back out and I use slin pins.

I always thought glutes were a difficult inject site.. But, I learned to just lay on my side and lay the needle on my skin and apply steady pressure.. I used to try glutes while standing and it was nearly impossible, but, now I think glutes are my best injections.. Maybe you should try 1 1/2" pins.

I always thought aspirate was to make sure you are not injection into a vein? correct me if i am wrong.

Ya thats the main other reason. I can see most of my "mainline" vains and inject around them. Always a good idea to asperate I just don't.

Look up "Z-Track" for injections. The method will cause the skin to slide over the site and "seal" the depot in. Of course there might be some medication left over on the surface of the skin from lubricating the syringe too, but I assume that's not what you're referring to?

1 1/2 ml maybe a bit too much for a delt injection. I do 1 ml in the delt with slin pins & never had a problem. I hold the pin in for about 30 sec after all the test is injected.

yes that is really the only reason. i purposely keep some air in the syringe to get all the test out. it has nothings to do with air in the syringe.

I don't understand how you can see 1" - 1.5" under your skin into your muscle and see the veins inside. it takes 1 sec to aspirate. its really not worth it not to.

No your right I was tired when I wrote that. Only reason to do is to avoid a mainline. I don't do it though. Don't pin glutes anymore, just use slin pins.
