i just injected my delt with prop... i asperated and all but it was hard to push everything in so i pushed harder on the plunger which forced the needle in further.....

after i injected i pulled out and there was quite a bit of dark blood that ran out.....

i got lightheaded but that might have been cuz i was scared...\

wtf should i do???

how long till i know if i injected into a vein and how will i know???

**BUYLONGTERM** · 06-01-2004, 11:43 AM

Lightheaded had to do with you being scared. You are fine bro!

**frank_frank** · 06-01-2004, 11:46 AM

ok good i hope u all r right but how would u know if u did??? has anyone actually ever injected into a vein/???? what happened??

**majorpecs** · 06-01-2004, 12:25 PM

you'll start couging really badly and maybe taste it in your mouth....it's not too big of a deal at all, but aspirating is still required.

The light-headed was probably from some sort of shock...it's like when people pass out when they see **** that really startles them...but not to the same extent. I'd say you're probably fine brohymn.

Dark blood is a vein...you nicked it.

**sp9** · 06-01-2004, 06:47 PM

happens alot as long as you pass through the vein on the way in and are not sitting in one when you inject then no big deal, actually pretty normal for quads.

You were probably so scared you forgot to breathe. One reason people are told to breathe when getting shots or pierced.

Shooting into a vein can kill you!!!! It doesnt always though. I hit a vein in my leg the other day. I aspirated and everything but some how it made its way into my blood stream. This how you can tell if you have injected into a vein. First a burning sensation going up your leg or what ever. Then you will taste it in your mouth, almost like it comes out under your tounge.

And the coughing as said before. Everyone I know that's done the 'ol inject a vein trick says they cough almost immediately after pulling it out. No clue why. Anyone else know why? Doc M maybe, or another Doc on here.

Not sure if this is why, but one of the first places that blood travels to from your heart is your lungs. If the oil made its way to your lungs the coughing is probably to clear it out of your lungs??

**frank_frank** · 06-02-2004, 12:33 PM

so what do u all do when u asperate and see blood?? pull out and reinject in another place(using different needle) or just throw away the juice???

**Flasher** · 06-02-2004, 04:51 PM

Just change the tip and try a different spot....

**Anhydro78** · 06-02-2004, 04:55 PM

Yeah just use another needle and reinject the same gear in a different spot. thats all just aspirate again and make sure no more blood fills the syringe.

Basically yes. The oil coats the "breathing" surface of your lungs, and air exchange becomes difficult.
