So my first injection was this morning. I used a 22ga 1 1/2" needle to withdraw from the amp... I found this a little hard. Should i use an 18ga?
Well once it was in the syringe (20ml... is that still ok?), i was injecting into my left deltoid. I used an alcohol wipe and cleaned it really good. I inserted the needle, and tried to aspirate, but nothing happened, I didnt feel anyhting and nothing came into the syringe, is this good or bad? I figured it was good so i went ahead an injected.
I had heard of a burning sensation during an injection, but i did not feel anything. The only reason i knew it had injected was because there was none left in the syringe. How long do the injections normally take?
I was about to pull out when i noticed there was a little test on the area around the injection site... but barely any. is this normal? and when i withdrew, a little blood spilled but thats ok. So i went about getting my first meal of the day ready and half way through, my arm started to feel a little numb, and i had trouble holding up the tuna bowl. Any reason why?
Any help would be appreciated just trying to make sure i did everything right. One last thing, If i was to run the syringe under hot water, is this ok without contaminating it?
thanks,
