aspirate? how much?

[Anybody]

If I am not in a vein, I usually see the beginning of a small air bubble forming when I tug on the plunger.

thats about what i would say

ditto ditto

If you're in a vein, blood should appear in the needle's drawing base almost right away on a tugback as small as 1/10 CC.

I think you will get mixed answers on this.
I personally, have just reinjected. I would clean off a new spot with running alcohol, then aspirate and reinject.

same here its all good

If I hit a vein and see a little blood in the syringe upon aspirating, I usually just pull the pin out maybe 1/4" and aspirate again. Usually there will be no more blood and I just proceed with the injection in the same location at a slightly shallower depth. Has worked ok for me. When It doesn't work, I have pulled out and cleaned a new spot and reinjected with a new pin (using the same pin works ok too but it's less sharp than on the first poke so it will hurt slightly more)

you don't have to have someone with there foot on your ass leaning back and pulling on the plunger. just pull on it a little, if it doesn't go back easily and you don't see blood you aren't in a vein.

how about you aspirate no blood comes out and you still get a nasty knot for about 4 days in your legs?? ED jabs are killing me
