Injection Problem

**Carlos_E** · 08-18-2003, 11:45 AM

This is a first for me. This morning I did my shot and as I pulled the needle out a stream of blood shot out. I've read in other threads of this happening.

My question, did I loose juice from my shot when the blood shot out? Should I redo the shot?

Don't redo the shot. Even if you lost some, I doubt it was much, so there is no reason to put anymore in your system. What size pins are you using? The larger the pin, the more blood/leakage.

23 gauge 1.5" pin. I put in the pin and aspirated then did the shot. I NEVER have pain during injects but once I started to inject I felt some pain. Nothing to bad ... but pain. When I pulled the pin out that's when the blood shot out. I thought is I pierced a vein going in.
