Hey there, I've got this problem:
When I remove the pin after injecting my left gluteus medius, there's always a bit of fluid leaking from the site. It looks suspiciously like the oil I just injected.
It happened every time I injected this site for the last 2 weeks (3 injections), and only there. I've hit that muscle many times before without any problems.
Can somebody tell me what is going on here?
what do you mean exactly by "LEAKING" ?
do you see the oil coming out of the injection spot and running down your thigh? or do you just see some of the oil SURROUNDING the injection spot?
remember, when your trying to remove all the air and bubble out of the syringe, you will inevevitable push some oil out the needle and have it run down the needle .. some folks say that this is good because it will act as a lubricant... So some of that oil might be the oil that was ON THE NEEDLE, and once you push it in the skin, the skin holds all those oils from entering your body, and they will just pile on the sides of the injection spot... does the visual make sense?
You can try to push the air out the syringe, and then wipe the needle with alcohol swap, wait till it dries and then inject.. see if that fixes it
