Injection sites and blood.

[NACH3]

I also am a firm believer in aspirating as many on this forum are! It's literally just part of the process and an important one at that! As Austinite stated it takes a sec and you see a tiny bubble come back in the syringe and it's ok... Lol but if in blood vessel directly blood will fill the hub w/out barely pulling back if at all(kinda creates a suction in thst sense)... I'd suggest aspirating b4 any shot/pin!

Thank you NACH3 and austinite. I appreciate the input. I'll just draw back a little and see like you said.
Also, on occasion I have noticed that when I pull the syringe out after pinning I bleed bad from the injection site. WHAT CAUSES THIS BLEEDING DO YOU THINK?

Could be many things... Poor technique is common(unsteady hand, moving pin around while in, pushing to hard - can you feel the pressure of the oil? If so to fast, 30-45s per/ml cc, make dure the muscle is RELAXED, etc) but bleeding is ok it should subside... But apply a lil pressure to it w/a cotton ball as your pulling the pin out... Sometimes I'll still bleed, and don't get nervous if you see some squirt out as well lol! This happens but not often certain inj spots!

Yeah, I DO IN FACT "move" the needle around while trying to reach my hips. I usually put the alcohol pad (or TWO) on it and wipe and HOLD for a little bit and it stops....what I was thinking why I asked was maybe you could tell me that i FOR SURE hit a vein, etc. like would show when I am Aspirating.
