might have missed the muscle

i am pinning prop ED and couldnt tell if i hit muscle for sure. i probably should have re-pinned but i plunged instead. should i just not worry about it?

If you missed the muscle and got fat instead because you didn't go deep enough, you can get a big ugly painful bump.

If you missed the muscle and got inbetween 2 layes of facia instead because you didn't get the muscle belly, you can get a big ugly painful bump.

But ultimatly it is up to you if you want to do it right or suffer the consequences.

What did you do that makes you think you didn't hit the muscle?

Like Amazon Doll said if you did miss, you'll have a painful lump and just have to deal with it. Not much you can do about it now, so don't worry about it.

You may want to read up on how to do injections before your next pin to make sure you got it down before your next pin.

Where exactly did you stick yourself? You are probably just being paranoid.

i pinned glutes....what makes me think its possible i didnt hit muscle is i normally feel the actual pin hit muscle. sometimes i dont feel it go in, but while im plunging i can feel it kinda knot up in the muscle. this time i didnt really feel it. i was mainly concerned with the effectiveness of the shot...would it be received full strength by sub-q method if i did miss? also, i definitely didnt miss do due depth...using 1.5" but maybe its the new pins. i am used to using 23g and switched to 25g.

I only use BD brand pins which are very smooth as it is and as soon as I started using 25g pins I don't feel it anymore.

Bro, if you pinned yourself in the glute and used a 1.5 inch needle, then there is no earthly way you missed the muscle.

I know that feeling you are talking about when the pin is about an inch in, as it hits the inner muscle and the muscle twitches just a tad...you don't always feel that...

No worries...
