ugly bruising from hitting a vein,

Dave_19 · Sep 2, 2006

I have been too brave lately when poking areas like biceps & calves. I have been trying to bulk up so im not quite lean enough to see very vein in my body. I bruised my calve a couple weeks back from hitting a vein I assume, and today my left bicep, right now its just puffy, im expecting an ugly purple bruise by morning. I'm just wondering besides the bruise that this leaves, would there ever be any reason to worry about any thing? I cannot really imagine how it could be dangerous, but I just want to make sure, and this is the only place I could ask such a question.

It happens and you will get a nice black and blue from it. I have one in my left quad from a week ago..

bicep is a bad spot for it, I dont want to wear long sleeves for the next 3 weeks. I read online that vitamin c @ 5 grams and vit e will speed up healing time.

re

go to your local pharmacy and ask for a vasoprotector it really helps speed up bruises to go away.

I think this is the case, I can see my 2 main bicep veins and a couple that branch from it, so I figured as long as I don't strike these ones It shouldn't bruise, but I guess im wrong. Im not doing biceps again until im <8% BF.
