question

[mike525]

it seem's like every once in a while when i take my shot i get a quite a bit of blood coming out the injection area ," and some time's just a pin drop " i think i am passing threw a blood vessel ,
when this happen's i have anxiety for 2 day's after the shot , it does go away ,do you think if i use a longer needle it will go farther into the muscle and some of the test, does not go into a blood vessel a little bit?
i am using a 1 inch 22 g needle . also i no that it's going into the muscle because after i insert the needle i pull back on the syringe to make sure im in a muscle and no blood come's up into the syringe ,
thank's for your help

don't worry even if u passed through a vessel as long as u aspire and no blood is entering the syringe then u can be sure that the tip of the needle is deep inside the muscle. sometimes when injecting slowly u pass by a vessel and a little blood get stucked in the needle and u can see it coming in while aspiring but then u see the air coming through and no more blood this means ur safe and inside a muscle and u passed the vessel.
try a 21 g 1 1/2" syringe.
