[mnpower]

Title says it all I guess
Im not really scared,i know this has happened before but now I am curious why....

I take all percautions I was my hands soap water whole shabamb clean the area for 30 seconds with alchol pad clean the bottle draw up the oil, switch needles inject done.

ON my right quad I shot 1mg test prop 1 mg tren ace and it hurt for a while then it go a little red and a small bump...but time came around for the quad again i was a little hesitant but did it again...reaggravated it same lump. it doesnt hurt unless i poke at it. this morning i really started digging at it and now its brusing. Any idea wtf I did? Hit a vain?

What size pin you using? You probably hit a vein. That is why you aspirate your syringe before pushing the plunger. Pull back on the plunger a little to see if you draw back and blood. If you do, go to another location. I hit a vein once, didn't aspirate and when the needle was pulled out, I shot a jet of blood across the bathroom.

I recently pinned my tricep and for about 2 days I had a red circle around the injection site and it was pretty painful. It cleared up on it's own though.

Don't think this is worthy of it's own thread, but what does it mean when you have bruising close to an area that you pin frequently. When I say close to I mean clearly in a spot I've ever injected but too close to not be related?

A bruise is type a of hematoma or blood outside of the any blood vessels. So it could be caused when you push your needle through a vein. When you withdraw the needle, blood leeches into the surrounding tissue causing the bruise. Just realize that it is entirely possible to go through a vein, aspirate, and have no blood in the syringe because you are not actually in the vein.

Ive had that happen cause I hit the same area and it was still a little sore, wasnt really paying attention to where I was sticking myself. But I can report that if you hit scar tissue it hurts lick a bitch!

Makes sense, I've been pinning quads alot and have some bruising on both. I always aspirate and the bruising is on the inside of the quad where I've never injected. Guessing I just went through a vein and some blood traveled there.

Ha yes I've developed some scar tissue as well, gonna have to drop quads for a bit. Isn't too much more painful when I hit the scar tissue but it's wayy harder to push through which does make it unpleasant.
