Bleeding after injecting

Hey, I just injected 1cc into my right glute. I've done it a few times now and I always pull back on the syringe to make sure I dont hit a vein. This time though when I pulled out the needle the spot I injected into bled quite a bit. I'm wondering if this should be a cause of concern because I really dont feel like having a stroke due to an air bubble causing a clot.

It happens sometimes. You might have knicked a vein. I have bled badly after a shot, but it never caused any problems. My concern was always that I just wasted a shot because most of the gear just bled out of my arm.

Yah it wasnt too fun; it's been almost 10 hours now and i'm still alive so thats a good thing I suppose haha. That was my second worry though, was that I wasted a shot but it really isnt that a big a deal if I did.

Stick with glutes if possible.

Pulling back on the syringe doesn't tell you if you hit a vein or not, it tells you if you are currently in one or not.

So, you hit a vein on the way in, no biggy. If it gets bad when you do these, take a mental note of where you were hitting it and move it around next time. You get to know your sweet spots after awhile.

You should be fine. Watch the injection spot..... If you get a lump or something like that, you may need an antibiotic to treat it. But it sounds like ull survive

no worries, if your alive 5 mins after the inject you'll live, just watch infections long term and your straight, as said before youll learn you good spots, mine are delts n glutes, i could shoot 2 cc into a delt EOD no prob, just keep a good rotation up and learn your body, youll be good

I always bled more doing glutes...sounds like you went through a vein and not injected into one...I wouldn't worry about it.
