bloody freakin quad shot!!

[joeshow5]

Up till now I have been injecting in my glutes. Well, I felt like I wanted to try my quad for a change. I thought I'd start with just a little (1ml deca) followed procedure precisely as found on how to do injections. Everything went great except for all the blood after I pulled out the pin. I guess I grazed an artery or vein. The blood was pretty dark. I'm sure I will have a nice bruise. The thigh seems to be a lot more painful than the glute.
I was very careful to aspirate properly.
I don't think I will use quads again.

I've never had this and I only inject quads so might just be real bad luck

That sucks for me. Bad luck on first try. Maybe one day i'll try again.

definitely bad luck bro. give it some time you may want to try again.

oh

you prolly went throw a vein in the top layer ...no big deal... Next time after you pull the pin out cover it with a clean pad as soon as you pull the pin out. press down for 30-60 seconds or until bleading stops... Then rub area for 2-3 min helping the oil to spread out more...

ya man it bad luck the will probablly hapen to you 1 out of every 75 shots you take, thats the purpose of asperating give it another whirl almpst gaurentee it wont happen this time. also the dark blood is normal when coming from an artery or deep vein. look at the blood the nurse draws next time you get your blood work done it will look the same

Fortunately if you are shooting the Quad laterally

and at the meatiest part, there aren't a lot of large vessels in the area. Over many many years I have never aspirated back. Of course my syringe is allways full. Most of the time I get oil jumping out when I withdraw the needle but sometimes its a small amount of blood a bandage stops.

Most of us bury the 1 1/2 inch needle and then administer the oil as we withdrawl out to about 1/2 inch from the skin surface.

What i find absurd is the notion that you are checking to see if you are in a vessel at the point you stop penetrating, but you don't dump all three cc's right there do you? So you could have gone through vessels on the way in and never know it and you can be injecting into a vessel on the way out if you withdrawl while administering, The vessels to worry about are on your inner thigh and yes I would aspirate back there.
