Hit a vein today... Is there anything I should be concerned about?

[Noles12]

you are fine. I have nicked veins several times. Just keep to your regular routine. I actually injected a vein by mistake a few weeks ago. Now that's a party.

Im unhappy to say i have experienced that a couple of times. Its not a fun experience at all

Well do you understand the whole process now?

Well... if I understand it correctly; after inserting the needle, pull the plunger back just a little bit to see if I get any blood. If I do, I should remove the needle and try again.

Really? So what's the main difference between "nicking" and injecting into a vein?

Well when you nick the vein it simply punctures it but the needle isnt push the oil in there. The oil goes into the tissue around the vein. But the vein is filling that area with blood therefore it flows back up the track that the needle made.

When you have injected in the vein it mean you either nicked it and have the needle too close releasing the oil to go through the blood stream or you are directly injecting into the vein. This oil in the vein must then pass through the blood stream and disperse.

The side effects for me are usually cold sweats, trouble breathing, nausea, dizziness, light headedness. It only last a couple of minutes but it isnt something i like to experience often
