At this point you shouldn't be aspirating blood, and therefore you are safe to inject. My nurse said that if you aspirate blood you just need to pull the needle out a little, and try again.

Two years after you posted it, I had to give myself my own PIO shot when my DH had to go out of town. I didn't think I could do it, but this post gave me the courage. I'd given myself the subcutaneous injections before, but never IM!!! Thanks! I’m so glad you had this post!!!

It's a little bit of scar tissue, nothing to worry about. <br/><br/>As for the flu vaccine being injected when blood was seen in hub... the nurse must of nick some capillaries, I don't think she cannulated a vein as you would of had some pretty bad side effects. If you were going to have a bad reaction from it, you would of had it already. The reason for lumps at injection sites is due to the needle going into a tense muscle.

You do need to discard the medication if you aspirate blood. First of all if you only change the needle it makes it difficult to see if you aspirate blood the second time. Second if you inject the medication with the blood you are putting the blood that came from a vein into a muscle, and this is what causes bruising. Just a comment about when you aspirate the needle.
