anyone use the same needle to draw and inject?

Here is a picture of a used needle, so you might want to think otherwise as to why you want to switch out needles after they have been used once...

Only if I have to.

Why are you touching the needle at all? The needle is sterile... by cleaning it, you are taking a chance of actually making it unsterile. Also, this nurse friend sounds stupid. All those in the medical field I talked to said not to touch the needle. But if it hasn't hurt you yet... keep on going.

BTW, I always use a drawing needle. Usually 19 or 20 gauge. The needle I inject with gets the sheath removed seconds before injection.

No she isn't stupid you.....you....YOU ASS FACE. She is at the top of her class. And yes it is working for me so thank you.

Let's not be too paranoid about having to "re-sterilize" the needle.

Hospitals and doctors just take it out of the package and stick ya. They do it millions of times a day. Why should we be more paranoid???

Or why would "we" use lidocaine?

Man term that stick used 6 times looks like a piece of splintered wood! Good pics.

LOL... I just would not touch the needle. It is not necessary.... And it actually ups your chances of getting an infection.

I am not sure I buy all the posts about re-using. I have done this before in the past and I believe it soured an intire batch of Deca and gave me a should infection. Arm swollen up to twice its size, and not in a good way. Go to the drugstore but some more needles, not worth the chance!!! Not to mention, on the third or fourth use it is a major pain in the pass to get through the skin!!!

I don't think anyone would advocate reusing a needle after an injection. We are discussing changing out needles after drawing the juice. You should throw away every needle that you have used and never use it again. That goes for drawing and/or injection. Once you take it out of the pakage and expose it to air it is no longer sterile. Throw it away do not save it. That is not a good practice.

Yeah I am guilty of doing this.. but not all the time. Only when my pin stash is low and I haven't ordered up a new batch.

Not good practice, but I haven't had any problems doing it.

when using amps, if i get a clean break, i unscrew the needle tip n put the chamber up againist the amp opening, turn it upside down n suck it all in, then i put the needle bak on and inject

have been using my 500iu hcg's that way for a while now, makes drawing up and mixing much quicker n easier.
