Primo (from ampule) question...

[40butpumpin]

Maybe a dumb question, but...

I just broke (with my hands) a primo ampule. I drew it up right to the very bottom. Then while injecting I noticed it was somewhat harder to inject than my deca, seemed to require more force on the plunger. Is there any way the syringe could have sucked up some of the broken glass pieces and that's why it was hard(er) to push?

Also, after the injection I noticed blood dripping more than usual. I aspirated and didn't see any blood going into the syringe so I figured I was fine. But it seems to me I shouldn't have seen that much blood if I didn't hit a vein.

Any ideas/comments?

Thanks,
40

You may have gone through a vein, even though you weren't in one when you aspirated. Also different oils have different consistencies so I would not worry. It would have to be a very, very small piece of glass to get through the pin.

Thanks, bro. That gives me some peace of mind.

1. Definitely more viscous and requires a little more horsepower, specifically with a 23g or higher.

2. Consider scar tissue build-up as well. It doesn't take long to start developing "tough" spots. What does IM call it, "gettin' crunchy?" heh heh.

Later,
