Injection question..... never happened before

It seems as if you passed through a vein when pushing the pin in and more than likely oil entered vein when you pulled the needle out. its my understanding it only takes a little bit of oil for this to happen

You may have had a pulmonary embolism that was able to dislodge itself.
Where I work we have people who have sheered off pieces of IV catheters into patients viens. Immediately they complain of tightness in the chest with difficulty breathing, coughing and radiating pain down the arm. The other symptom you had with the bad taste and irriatation to the tongue almost concludes that you definately got some gear into the vein. Bad taste on the tongue is associated with alot of IV drugs. Even when I have good sticks on myself I get a very small hint of alcohol on my tongue. Obvisously if you have any persistant problems you would have to seek medical attention, like the emergency room, pulmonary embolisms can be very serious so just keep an eye on any symptoms you may still have.
