Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The only bad part about hitting a blood vessel is that you will bleed. So long as bleeding isn't an issue for you, it won't be a major issue, just hold pressure for a minute or so until it stops bleeding. One other point....don't be afraid to try your abdomen, as that is not a bad place to inject, and I think it hurts less than the thighs.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Kirk, if you're saying that it hurts less then I'll give it a try, I guess I won't really know until I try it :-) -Ewelina > > The only bad part about hitting a blood vessel is that you will bleed.
