No blood, I'm dripping gear!

[Krush]

This is unusual but for my past two injections, (23g 1.5", all the way to the bottom), i have been pulling out and gear drips out of the injection site. Just a little, but no blood just gear. I inject slowly and leave it in for a few seconds after I'm done injecting, then pull it out slow and watch as gear drips out. I just went from injecting 1 cc to 2cc's in each site.

[Aragorn]

I know some who pull their skin slightly off the mark then inject and when they pull out the skin moves over the mark leaving it very tough for gear to drip out. I haven't had your problem but I'm very meticulous when pulling out

Thanks Aragorn, I'll try that tonight.

[Iapetos]

That technique worked for me. I no longer ooze gear.

[LOCO]

yup aragorn is right. try that...
i remeber once i injected into my right delt 2cc's... and i bet atleast 0.5cc came out... what a waste.....
now usually when i see it's gonna start coming out i just push the alc. cotton swab onto it and hold it for a min...

try removing the needle quicker

It's fluid rejection and it's perfectly normal.

You have just injected a foriegn fluid in to your body, your tissues are pushing out, just like they should be doing.

i pull out very fast never had gear drip out

[phatkid77]

thanks guys, i too have leaked gear, and until now have had nowhere to turn, god love the internet

[DeezGunz]

i have that sometimes, i just grab a cotton ball a push on it and it stops it from leaking

[GearTripper]

your supposed to pull the needle back out? no wonder everyone calls me the "hellraiser-dude" j/k

aragorn

what aragorn is suggesting is called z-tracking.

i use z-tracking and the "air-bubble technique". here's something i found on it:

"Z-track technique

Place the ulnar side of your non-dominant hand on the chosen injection site and stretch the skin taut.
Hold the needle at 90 degrees to the skin.
Plunge the needle in quickly, penetrating the muscle and leaving about a third of the needle exposed.
Pull back on the plunger to observe for blood aspiration. If blood is aspirated the procedure should be discontinued.
If no blood is aspirated, slowly and continuously inject the drug.
After a couple of seconds withdraw the needle at the same angle at which it went in.
Release the skin. This has the effect of breaking the needle track as the skin and subcutaneous layers move back over the muscle. The drug is therefore locked within the muscle. (Belanger, 1985)
Air bubble technique

The procedure for the air bubble technique differs from the Z-track in only one way. When drawing up the medication, a small bubble of air is also drawn up. This is injected into the muscle with the drug, thus forming an air lock in the muscle depot preventing the medication from seeping out along the needle track into other subcutaneous tissue or onto the skin. (Pritchard and Mallett 1992, Taylor et al 1993)

Keen, (1986) suggests that the Z-track technique produces more pain at the injection site and this is further supported by MacGabhann (1996). "

hope that helps. works wonders for me!

Lets imagine we're in the muscle..and we are .5ml of gear....we just came out of the needle and we're sitting there.... now the needle is slowly starting to move out and we "the gear" start to follow it cuz of the pressure..then once you pull out were dripping from the side of your ass....so just pull out quick and cover it with a napkin and press......
