    Freaking out a bit, Blood in base of needle

    Ok so I just did my 2nd injection, this time in my glute on my weak side. Last injection i did in glute on my strong side, but wasn't able to walk the next day from pain. Well this time i did my weak side so i didnt' pull the plunger a bit to check for blood. When I got done with the injection i pulled it out and saw blood where the needle and plunger meet. I hit my glute on the top outer side away from my crack. the needle got pulled out a bit a few times (not out of the skin, just a little bit from the muscle) and i'm wondering if that was from it or not. I flexed several times to make sure i was aiming at the muscle. I used a 1.5" needle btw. I uploaded a pic of a needle to show you where i saw the blood and no i didn't do subq just was the first pic i found with a needle in black and white. Should I be worried?

    You could have nicked a vein. Don't worry, it happens.

    No worries. Remember you're poking holes in yourself and blood happens, either from breaking the skin or passing through a vein. If you fully injected into a vein you'd know it. You're fine.
