Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below My buddy always does my injections. He went out of town, so i didn't want to miss a week. So i did it myself. Here is the problem, i forgot to empty all the air out of the pin before i did it. So i injected while there was a good amount of air still in the pin. How big of a problem is this, should i be concerned?
How dangerous is this?

It shouldn't be a problem. You're still feeling fine now, so nothing to worry about. Now it's time to start doing all of your injections.
A common injection technique taught in nursing school and informed about in most every nursing text book is called an "air lock" in which 1/4-1/2 cc of air is left in the syringe at the time of injection. This air bubble will force all fluids out of the needle upon injection and produce pressure within the injection site to help disapate the injection fluid. This is for IM injections only and aspirationis a must as it is with any shot. This method is most commonly used when the injected fluid is irritating to muscle and/or subcutaneous tissue.
Re: I feel better now
Aspirating is VERY important bro. You do it before you inject! To aspirate, you pull back on the plunger before you inject. If blood enters your syringe when you pull back, then your syringe is in a vein and you need to withdraw your needle and shoot in another location. If when you pull back nothing comes out, you are fine to inject your juice.
