Hit a Vein

Hey guys,
I thought I'd share this experience with you. I was injecting the right quad, using 1" 23 Gauge injecting 2 1/2ccs. I stuck the needle in and started to aspirate. It was a bit painful (not too bad) and started to throb a bit. I could tell that something just wasnt right. The pain slightly increased as I started to inject. I could really "feel" that something just wasnt right (most injects are smooth for me). I pulled the needle back out and blood shot out of the needle hole like a foutain. It looked like I had been shot or something. I usually bleed a little bit and the blood trickles down my leg but this really gushed out. I used my cotton swab to put pressure on the spot. Amazing after saturating the swab with blood the bleeding just stopped. It was like I injected through the vein and it built up pressure and as soon as I pulled it back through it just gushed. I have a small bruise in the area that I injected now. The only thing I felt I did wrong was my inject site was a bit too high. Anyone else have this happen before and how long before it is ok to hit the quad again? One other question is this, when I aspirate it almost "hurts" when I pull back on the plunger. I really have to work hard to pull back on it cause it feels like it has alot of resistance. I always aspirate but wonder if it is this hard for everyone to aspirate and pull back?

Going through veins happens sometimes and the first time you see it gush out is scary.......... As long as you aspirate and you are not IN the vein when you inject you are fine.

One time I was injecting into my right quad, my whole quad seemed to jumped I stopped and pulled the needle out and blood came out pretty quick. Just glad I didn't auctually inject though.

No, you cannot die if you inject in a vein. Just remember to always aspirate. It happens to me sometimes. When I pull the needle out, I hit a vein and blood goes everywhere. I LOVE BLOOD!!! :)

somewhat of a myth.. unless he had a really weak heart he wouldn't die. And if he had a really weak heart he shouldn't be doing steroids anyway. It sounds like you may have hit an artery and not a vein, because veins don't often spurt. What color was the blood? If it was a brighter red, you hit an artery. If you can inject into an artery and not worry about a pulmonary embolism because the blood doesn't go to the heart, it goes to the capillaries. The only problem would be the bleeding.

It was a bright red color. Im still around so I guess I didnt do anything major. The blood really kinda "gushed out" instead of spurting but it stopped just as fast as it came, really weird. I hope my heart isnt weak, although when I see a cute puppy I want to cry (does that count).

I am not clear on something. You say you stuck the needle in and started to aspirate. Well what happened? Did you draw blood into the syringe? When you are truly in a vein, when you aspirate the plunger will draw back VERY easily and blood will fill the syringe quickly. It is very obvious. When you are in muscle, it is hard to draw back due to the pressure. It should not hurt when you aspirate, but you see what look like air bubbles in the syringe. If it is hard to pull back, this is good.

It is always hard to pull back on the plunger, thats why I like quads because I can use 2 hands. Does anyone have any advice on why the plunger is hard to pull back?

I have blood gush out for a couple of seconds after almost every injection. As long as you aspirate, you are fine. Just because blood comes out after the inject, it doesn't mean you injected into a vein.

The plunger is hard to pull back because you have created a vacuum.

The plunger is hard to pull back because you are in muscle (...). When you go into a vein you can easily draw back the liquid (blood).

If it is hard to pull back most likely you are fine. If you are in a vein, the blood pressure will make it easy to pull back on the plunger.

Bro if u want to Plunge a bit easier and inject easier, use a 21g x 1.5in Needle, there PERFECT, easy to aspirate and the quad can take the size no worrys. i recommend it
