I keep injecting into the wrong spot. Usually how I know is it feels harder to push the plunger down on the syringe. And I bleed a little upon removal. How I find the spot is I feel different spots on my leg to see if it flexs, I find the spot and mark it. Disinfect it and inject. Usually turns out fine but these past two times I’ve been bleeding and harder to press down the syringe (as stated) and I don’t know what to do.
as @BassaForte asked: is this IM or subq, and where are you injecting?
I inject subq in thighs and abdomen and sometimes I hit some kind of blood supply.
It usually hurts more when injecting, is harder to push in, and blood comes out of the injection site. Yesterday when I injected, when I first put the needle in, it hurt and was bleeding, so I stopped pushing it in, pulled it out, and injected somewhere else nearby (after a breather, it’s extremely mentally difficult for me at that point).
I’m not sure there is a way to know whether you’ll hit a blood supply or not - I need to learn more about this as well. I have read the suggestion that you can learn generally where the blood supply is or not, but I’m not sure I have noticed any pattern, it seems a bit random to me.
