1st abscess with other pin pain despite sterile procedure... advice needed

[Mp859]

It sounds like technique to me. Also,using a 18 gauge needle is going to make your vials start leaking pretty quickly.

Using the same needle to draw multiple times has possibly contaminated your gear. Bacteria on the needle would now end up in the vial. Where on earth did you hear using the same needle to draw with is ok? Needles are cheap. I'd pitch the vial and use proper procedures in the future.

What do you draw with then? I heard with 23g its pretty hard to draw

[Wizwell]

I draw with a 20g. I inject quads, delts, triceps, or pecs with a 25g 1 inch. Glutes I use a 23 gauge 1 1/2 inch.

It's quite easy to draw w/a 23g pin(I use a 23g to draw and pin(1" at least -quads - glutes I use a 1.5" pin but can use a smaller one but choose not to) it's all dependent on ones bf% on what you'd be able to pin with!

And always change pins when drawing and change thT out for another freshy!
