    are you still breathing? If so, then just be careful next time.

    As long as you aspirated you're fine. Otherwise you're lucky you missed a vein because you're still standing. You're fine either way but this reinforces the need to aspirate. A little air in the muscle won't hurt you though.

    Your lucky....as everyone else has stated, if your still talking and reading this right now your ok. Otherwise you probably would've suffered a major heart attack. Make sure your more careful from now on.

    The amount of air you injected is probably veeery small, so dont sweat it.

    if its 20cc thats fine, the syringes we use dont even hold 20cc
