Yesterday I did a delt shot.
I had just finished the injection but the needle was still in when I thought I heard somebody coming. I pulled the needle out fast so I wouldn't get busted. I bled a lot and was actually quite surprised. I aspirated, so I know I wasn't in a vein. Still, a ton of blood came out and ran all down my arm.
Thankfully, nobody came in. I cleaned the blood up as fast as I could. Luckily it clotted fast so I didn't bleed for too long.
However, when I just looked in the mirror tonight I noticed that my delt is bruised. It's pretty small, but at the center of the bruise you can see the needle mark from where I shot. It doesn't hurt to touch or anything.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I don't know whether I should be worried or not. As I said, the bruise isn't too big and it doesn't hurt. I guess next time I'll know not to pull out too fast.
Thanks!
