Nerves. It will get easier as you go. Or it may be your body telling you at 21 you are too young and ton stop now.
Just a thought
Nerves. I was a scared little boy on my first pin, I was older thought lol.
also happened to me on my first pin. youll grow on it. literally.![]()
Never had that problem, but someone else is giving me the shots
Just your nerves man. . . . .
Def the nerves. Somrthing about pinning yourself that messes with your brain!
Ok thanks guys and my other question is I inject in my glute and it's very hard to aspirate since I have to do it one handed. I know I should aspirate but it's difficult any tips?
I know this may sound silly but just try to follow.Originally Posted by Juice head 9
Hold the syringe with your thumb and ring finger and use your index finger and bird finger to pull back to aspirate. Sounds silly but that's my tip for you. Or you could do your quads.
Lean on one leg against the wall. Let the other leg hand. Pin with the same side hand you are the glute. Helps to do with a mirror. Piece of cake.
Yeah first time i pinned took me 30-45mins. Ill never forget it. I was shaking like crazy.Originally Posted by Capebuffalo
I was scared of needles ever since i was a kid because of a nurse. She drew blood from my arm. I jump, didnt hold me down. Blood went everywhere. Walls, ceiling, me,my mom and nurse. It was a real life blood bath lol.
And a few of my dudes that do it said they stopped aspirating because they drew blood every time sometimes more then other times but how much blood has to b in the needle so u know u r in a vein or blood vessel?
i do glutes 100% of the time and i got tired of aspirating too. Sometimes i do but most the time i dont. i hit the exact same spots with in a 1" circle everytime, so i just dont aspirate anymore. probably not what some on here want to here but it doesnt bother me not to
I didn't read all the posts, so someone may have already mentioned this, but when you're self-injecting into your glute, a mirror does wonders. Definitely helps to make sure you're not aspirating blood. As a former junkie, I can tell you that you can also FEEL if you have hit a vein. When you aspirate and have NOT hit a vein, the plunger will pop right back to where it was, because the inside of a syringe is pressurized. If you've hit a blood vessel, when you aspirate, the plunder will not "pop" back, as the chamber fills with blood. So if you aspirate and the plunger moves smoothly when you pull back and then stays there, you've probably aspirated blood. Between the mirror and this feeling, you should be able to tell quite easily if you've hit a blood vessel.
TOkidd
Same thing happened to me when I was 17 and shot my first time. Young and dumb. Exact symptoms occurred maybe 10 minutes after my shot. I held them off for as long as I could. Second time I pinned it never happened and hasn't from then on. even though I never really did more then 3-4 cycles or.. Something anyway I'm not even sure anymore.
BUT! Now it happens every time I get a blood test. Guess I just got used to sticking needles in myself and subconsciously I don't trust anyone else anymore hahaha
Definitely nerves. Happened to me last week for the first time too. I was sweating as much as after legs day haha. I was drenched. Pinned 3 more times since then and nothing of the sort. Seem to like delta so far and easy on both sides.
I talked a friend of mine thru his first shot over the phone. He was sitting on the edge of the tub with a head set on and i heard a thump noise and heard nothing else for a few mins. He finally come back on the phone and said he passed out with a 21ga x 1 1/2 hanging out of his leg!!!!! hahahahahah
I agree, it's the nerves. you'll get used to it and eventually will look forward to your next pin.
Hell just lay on the bed and do you glute shots, in case you get dizzy again![]()
Lol too funny... I decided to read this thread for comments like this (I knew id be laughing) OP just nerves as everyone has stated it'll get easierOriginally Posted by Capebuffalo
Yea but it will bother you if you inject a vein... this is a informational thread so if yous don't have good advice keep your dumb lazy ideas and ways to yourself.. not to be a pr*ck but people are reading this and will take into account what they readOriginally Posted by greenwell001
I don't know what your friends are saying or advising bit that's a crock of sh*t... I've done enough pins to know that isn't true... if you get a drop in your syringe its surprising but trust me if your in a vein or vessel you will know when you aspirate... it will fill the syringe with blood most likelyOriginally Posted by Juice head 9
Lmao great story thanks for sharing that 1Originally Posted by guitarzan
Ok thanks a lot guys just one mOre thing once I inject how far do u pull back the plunger wen u aspirate?
Just a tiny bit. If your in a vein blood will come into needle quickly
Like I said in an earlier post, syringes are pressurized, so you won't be able to pull back on the plunger very much, and it will literally pop right back into place when you let go. However, if you hit a blood vessel, when you pull back on the plunger it will pull back smoothly, and just keep coming as the chamber fills with blood. It will not "pop" back into place. So, yeah, you only pull bace a little bit. Your syringe won't let you pull back much.
