possible vein injection

[Keiser]

TweetThis happened last week, I forgot to tell you guys about it. I injected into my quad last week, 2cc enth and EQ.

Aspirated, no blood everything cool, injected, everything cool. Then when I took the needle out, there was some blood inside the syringe, probably like 1/8th cc of it.

what happened? Didn't feel anything weird or different either.

Tweetyou probably just went through a vein and got some in there on the way out, happened to me once last cycle as long as i aspirate and there is no blood i figure i am good.

Tweetprobably hit a vein on the way out, not in, if you would of, it would of bleeded some...your fine, your still typing arent you?

TweetIf there were an eighth of a cc in the syringe, I would be inclined to think that you nicked an artery on the way out.

I don’t think that nicking a vein on the way out would even put any blood in the syringe. This is assuming that you didn’t inadvertently pull on the plunger while you were extracting the needle.

I think why I sometimes get a drop is that I push pretty hard on the plunger at the end, compressing the rubber stopper dealie, which then bounces back out a little when I let go. So there is a slight vacuum in the syringe when I'm pulling the pin out....
