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.
