Hey guys,
I thought I'd share this experience with you. I was injecting the right quad, using 1" 23 Gauge injecting 2 1/2ccs. I stuck the needle in and started to aspirate. It was a bit painful (not too bad) and started to throb a bit. I could tell that something just wasnt right. The pain slightly increased as I started to inject. I could really "feel" that something just wasnt right (most injects are smooth for me). I pulled the needle back out and blood shot out of the needle hole like a foutain. It looked like I had been shot or something. I usually bleed a little bit and the blood trickles down my leg but this really gushed out. I used my cotton swab to put pressure on the spot. Amazing after saturating the swab with blood the bleeding just stopped. It was like I injected through the vein and it built up pressure and as soon as I pulled it back through it just gushed. I have a small bruise in the area that I injected now. The only thing I felt I did wrong was my inject site was a bit too high. Anyone else have this happen before and how long before it is ok to hit the quad again? One other question is this, when I aspirate it almost "hurts" when I pull back on the plunger. I really have to work hard to pull back on it cause it feels like it has alot of resistance. I always aspirate but wonder if it is this hard for everyone to aspirate and pull back?
