Question about the chance of injecting into a vein

[lzicc]

When injecting, once the needle passes through the skin/fat and goes into the muscle, how is it possble to inject into a vein? Are there veins in the muscle? I've always wondered this.

Yes there are veins in there, at any depth.

aspirate ......if you hit a vein you will know it!!!

[MarkinHouston]

yup, you have veins all over....arteries, too....usually the larger veins are close to the surface, but arteries are pretty deep....If you stick (no pun) to the recommended sites and aspirate , you'll be fine.

ALWAYS aspirate . I have hit one major vein, it was in my thigh and it scared the shit out of me. I have always hated injecting thighs ever since.

i hit a vein one time in my thigh and everytime i go to inject i get nervous but i havent had any other problems latley.

I always do aspirate , just never really knew if there were veins in the muscle or not. I pass through veins sometimes when getting into the muscle, but never pulled blood.
