Does pressure feeling mean you hit something?

[ryan04]

Every once in a while when I stick a needle in my thigh I feel pressure, like something's pushing it back out. I always pull it out right away and hit a diff. spot. Does this mean I hit a vein or something?

Go ahead and push it in, if you hit a nerve you will know it. If you go through a blood vessel and then get into muscle, asperate and dont see blood you'll be fine injecting there.

Yeah it mean you in the muscle. There is going to be some pressure when you get into a muscle, this is why it is so hard to asperiate when your in the muscle.

this is the understatement of the century!

I usually get that when I am tense and the muscle is not fully relaxed, also in spots where I have scar tissue

It may be a fascia.
Just jab it. Don't go slowly.
You will feel more than pressure if you hit a nerve.
You don't need to pull out.
