If I hit a blood vessel...

**warbird** · 08-14-2010, 02:54 PM

what should I do? Just pull back the needle and reinject with the same pin?

Nothing wrong will happen if blood will be in my syringe?

nope, happens to everyone here all the time. just reswab and move over a little.

If you hit a nerve or blood is present after aspiration, pull it out, swap needles then re-pin in another area. Once you've poked yourself once it dulls the needle tremendously.

talk about dulled needle. four years ago i ran out of pins. i injected my tren with a 17ga pin one morning. i actually laughed the whole way through it thinking i cant believe i have to do this.

thats the truth.

Ouch. Why did you even have a 17g laying around in the first place? Is that the size you draw the oil from?

Oh my god....17g....

I draw with a 19 and that thing looks like a piece of drain piping. I can't imagine that going into me.

yup.

no kidding. it was like a pencil. but sometimes , you know youre doing something so crazy that you just have to laugh about it. and i did not want to miss my shot that day. and didnt have an opportunity later.

i took a picture of it but i cant find the picture. dead center of the outer line of my right thigh.

my mentality is always - just do it, sometimes it pays off... sometimes it doesnt. but more often than not. (i got my dose that day).

If it wasnt clear it's BEST to Change needles after a failed pin attempt. Needles are about .05 each so it's a no brainer. I always by extra pins/needles.

Really, 17g again so WHY 17G Is the the vet grade? If so OK yeah I remember those days, 15-17G and 3in long. That's the main reason I didnt start when I was a teen, we couldnt just get replacement syringes back then and when I saw that I was like NFW.... LOL
