Weird Injecting experience, read because it may happen to you

[Gunsmoke123]

This morning I was performing my weekly injection into the right thigh. As I inserted a 23 gauze 1'' needle all the way into the muscle, I proceeded to pull back the plunger to see if I hit the blood vessel. In all my 30 previous injections I would normally see an air bubble floating through the syringe when pulling back the plunger. This time I found myself confused when I saw millions of tiny bubbles scattering all over inside of the plunger. So I injected .5 cc and moved the needle back a bit followed by another attempt of pulling back the plunger, and guess what!!! it happened again!!!! Anyway I injected the rest of the liquid, cleaned the spot and 8 hours later I am still alive so I guess it was not a serious issue. Anyway I just wanted to share this awkward experience with you in case something like that happens to you so you dont panic!

Take care, and good luck with your cycles!

you could have possibly had a loose seal where the pin screws on to the syringe.

^^ exactly; damaged syringe you should toss it when this happens and go for another.

No this time I made it extra tight, I know because I pierced the tip of my finger when I was unscrewing the pin before disposing.

damaged syringe sounds more like it, damn it!
btw its hard to toss something out when its already about to be injected.

syringes are cheap and there is no reason to take chances when it comes to your health.

Just transfer gear from one syringe to another its not complicated.

could have been overtightened sounds like; could have been a small leak in it somewhere these things are not perfect. It happens.
