What about hitting a blood vessel

[crazy mike]

Man in all my years I never hit blood. Anyway while pinning 100 mg / 1ml of test pro I hit blood and didn't know it. Yes I'm usually more careful. So when I pulled out I bled like a MF. So I'm OK and It will be sore and prob black n blue but I never thought about how effective the pin would be. Same thing I would suppose, just not a good idea and ugly in the end...huh ...crazy mike

Sorry to be dumb founded by your question I've been giving myself injections for the past 45 yrs, I'm only 61. Let me ask you a question What the F*CK if I told you no. Would you give me some shit for the stupidity like I'm some newbie? Or If I said yes, what then it happened already. What is the difference now. I sometimes move the pin around by accident, try to get deeper etc... I'm so sorry to be soft skinned but what is my answer going to tell you. I'm not worried if you knew what I've done in my past with IV as well as IM maybe you cold direct your questions to what I asked ...now I'm crazy mike

So, did you aspirate ?

[Times Roman]

yep. sometimes when i pull out, blood will run out the injection site. just put a finger over the hole, and massage a bit, til the hole closes up.

now go get yourself a pop tart! =)

Easy crazy mike it was a simple enough question, and in all your years pinning you must have had blood at some point. I bleed at least once a month but saying that never had your level of experience.

Always easy bigsiv

[crazy mike]

So, did you aspirate?

Ok smart a*s I'll take the question in stride and believe you to be a funny guy. The answer is YES !. But I did happen to push to get deeper and wiggle it just a bit when changing me grip. So what now do you guys have to say. Never do this or that, or hey stupid you blew it. Who cares. I wanted to see if anyone has had the experience and how it effected them. So now what do you say with a YES as the answer. ...mike

Thanks "bigsiv" for the reminder to take it easy. And I do apologize for my demeanor. I was pissed at myself. I'm an exactist, some what a perfectionist and very technically orientated. I get upset with my mistakes,. Stiil learning to live life on life's terms now that I'm clean and sober. ... crazy mike

I was using for 46 yrs since age 14. After the 90's it was the real, real hard stuff. Like in the arm stuff. So I only have 1 yrs and 4 months but doing great now that I'm back in the gym and eating. Since on SSD I only have to concentrate on training. Petty cool huh. ...mike

No prob bro. I only asked if you aspirated so you wouldn't risk the obvious. Injecting into a vein would be bad. Now with that said often even if you aspirated you can push the pin and either nic or go through a vein resulting in lots of bleeding after the inject. It happens and is just part of the game. I have noticed it happens for me more often when Hitting quads than other injection sites. Hope this helps bro

So sorry, ya know I just do it all the time, and this time it was on purpose, ya think. My experience yields to SOME mistakes at times , and that why I was disappointed. But if you'd like to try me I'm very sure I could hit a vein in you first stick, not miss, not go thru the other side and draw no blood. This even with an 18 gauge, take me up...huh. Like I said I didn't need sh*t on this thread but I'll be happy to go with it if you want to continue. Time for me to bow out and get to shoulders today............................................. ......

Yea I am crazy ! now be cool and lay off the sarcasm. You know I don't pin with 18. It was an example of my skill back when I was F*cked up (hold that remark) I was hard up some time years ago and had to stick the shit in my arm with a dull 18 . Now that drew blood...ouch For that I don't get respected ya know. Bad times gone. Buy the way I hate Tyson ...ha, he aint got my respect. Now I better get out of here , before you keep ripping me a new a*s hole. ...mike

10-4 Mike! Now go and enjoy that shoulder workout.

[clarky.]

Thats happened 2 me a few times crazy mike.

[BBrian]

I've seen blood rush back into the syringe after finishing the injection despite aspirating first, obviously because the needle tip was in a vessel. And typically the syringe is going to move a little when we're self-injecting, so this is difficult to avoid 100% of the time. But I'm fairly positive that unless we start shooting cc's into major arteries, we'll survive the experience.

This was like some comedy skit. Thanks for the laugh. Mike is off the charts.

I don't quite know what you mean, me hitting the blood vessel or my responses to the posts that ensued. Ha I say. Now that I spent the afternoon on shoulders and special attention to traps cause I aint got none I feel more relaxed. Also "bowen" great day to be sober isn't it. Thanks for your support on that note !! ...crazy mike

[Bio-Active]

Glad to hear you got in a good training session bro!! I am hitting shoulders and Bi's in the morning and can't wait

You're welcome brother!
Sounds like we have a lot in common with the way we used to live. And yes it is a great day to be sober and getting back in good physical shape.
Keep up the good work.

I'll tell you what I have now, yea you know Already I have a HUGE hematoma. From the amount of blood and I tell you like a stuck pig, I knew it was going to be ugly. And it is a bit sore, NO allot sore. Glad no one slaps my butt in the gym. ...crazy again mike


Or anywhere else, let me clarify ...mike

Yeah thats the shits mike.

Here's an excerpt from a website about hematomas.

"What is the treatment for a hematoma?

Hematomas of the skin and soft tissues are often treated with RICE(rest, ice, compression, elevation). Some health care practitioners may advocate heat as another treatment alternative. The pain of a hematoma is usually due to the inflammation surrounding the blood and may be treated with over the counter pain medications."

I'm surprised you have gone so long without having this happen before. Good on ya.

It's happened to me many times and I am quite methodical and cautious while pinning.

Good luck

[johnnymctrance]

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago...blood squirted outta my injection site all over the floor... kinda freaked me out a little bit, but i asked on here and that sorted me out!

[EriCody]

Yesterday after reading this. I went to pin, and for the first time ever I hit a blood vessel too. Lol. Guess I wanted to be like crazy mike.. :P

[Flynman]

I hit a blood vessel once and it shot about 5 feet across my bathroom floor....and of course my wife had just replaced the bathroom rug...and that's how my wife caught me doing steroids ...lesson learned!!

[GhostOfRome]

To add in to this question brothers, isn't the upper quad one of the least likely spots to hit a vein or a vessel? I use them each week. Easier for myself to inject, also if you aspirate each time and I use the Z track method, if there is no blood are you always GTG?

[BBrian]

There are certain parameters of the upper and lower quad that are ideal for pinning, just as is the case with the glutes and delts. When you're pinning a short ester such as prop EOD, it's important to utilize them all.
