**bigstack88** · 08-11-2013, 12:32 PM

And aspirated and saw bubbles. I went ahead and injected and when i pulled out i noticed the smallest amount of blood in the pin? im confused. Has this ever happened to anyone

Probably just from passing through a vein. Nothing to worry about..

**bigstack88** · 08-11-2013, 12:37 PM

Just wondering. Would i kno if i pinned a vein on accident?

**crazy mike** · 08-11-2013, 12:41 PM

YES YOU WOULD KNOW if you injected a whole cc into a vein,. BUT you didn't. If you knew how hard that is to do you wouldn't ask. Ok to ask but please don't worry I've not come across anyone who has done what you ask. Maybe a little bit but nothing to worry about. The volume and more would be in you muscle. ...crazy mike

I'm going to post this again. I have never aspirated, I've never seen it in a hospital setting or doc's office. Just in the last 7 months I'm hit myself IM over 200 times and never aspirated. I have had PIP, no PIP, much PIP, little PIP, I've bled, I've not bled, I've bled like a pig, I've had a drop. Got off on all my injections. Never got sick. The End ...crazy mike

Crazy Mike is the man. Loved that last post, cm!

I had tiny air bubbles in mine yesterday. I've always had a hard time aspirating one handed.

Mike, just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it's not real lol. I have seen ER nurses and Docs aspirate in several hospitals. You suppose they just decided to give it a shot or ya think they were taught that way?

I pin in my quad twice a week, I've drawn blood and re-pinned only once. I used to pull bubbles when aspirating but then I realized I was pulling too hard, it doesn't take much to tell if you hit a vein.

Over time I've learned where not to pin, on my right leg the "normal" area I cut right through a vein almost every time, little geyser of blood comes out when I pull the needle and it flows like a stuck pig. I did it once in the doc office and she watched me do the entire thing and told me I cut through a vein close to the surface not to worry about it.

I have accidentally injected an allergy shot into a vein, it sucked but I'm alive. Felt like fire running through my veins and I could feel it traveling, turned out to not be a big deal other than a wasted shot.

I cannot argue with reason Lunk I'm a bit crazy but not stupid. But what I say I mean and what I am saying that in all my years (for me) if I've never seen it then maybe there is no need. Now have you seen anyone aspirate and pull out ?? Whether you have or haven't my experience tells e it's a waist an only causes confusion and question with people who are not solid with the act of injecting themselves or others. The more time and movement with the needle in only serves to promote PIP. The quicker and more stable the better and I don't think you can argue with that. Thought.

But better I say thatthis is my very extensive experience. I just also have to add the theory that one would have a very, very hard time staying in a vein once hit. I mean that's like trying to main line IV 1" or 1-1/2" deep inside a muscle. A lot of veins in the Quds, not much at all in the glutes (capillaries) . Keep in mind also that the muscle is full of capillaries some dispersing blood to thee area and some piking up blood and taking it back to the heart. Which one is it being absorbed into.. Question. ??
I will also tell you that my father taught me in our home when giving family IM injections so far back,. that s was when we reusable GLASS WORKS and NEEDLES.

So to wrap up my ramble. The more people I hear complain about their injections on here are the ones who are so concerned with aspirating. BUT please if it makes someone feel better then by all means continue. Thanks for listening. ...crazy mike
