loss feeling in hand???

[vancityman]

hey everyone, did my second injection yesterday and had a bit of a scare. pulled back in the plunger after inserting into the shoulder and didnt see any blood so i went ahead with the injection but when i finished there was a couple drops of blood inside the pin and when i pulled out the pin it blead alot more than normal. i made it threw the night but now i have or rather dont have full feeling in the first three fingers and thumb. its like when your hand falls asleep but its not waking up.
should i be worried or will this all sort itself out?

possibly knicked a vein or blood vessel on the way out, no big deal happens sometimes, dont sweat it

as for the numbness, doubt its from the injection, may have just slept on it wrong. keep an eye on it though just in case

thanks ill sleep better tonight

[vancityman]

actually the blood was inside the siringe but just a couple drops :s

[CHUCKYthentic]

ya thats normal too man, can easily make its way on into the needle when you pull it out, no big deal

thanks

Was it your first time injecting in the delt?

I noticed the same feeling kinda when I did my first injection on my right delt. It didn't last long though.

Guys,

You really need to learn how to stick, before you stick. If you are having pain radiating down your arm starting at your neck, then most likely you have a C4-C5 herniation. Basically the nerve that comes out of your C4/C5 goes down your arm, comes across your biceps and down the lateral aspect....


Is your thumb numb on the outside or inside of hand????
