Hitting a vein?

[Hermione]

So I just took my Humira (pen) as usual, and it hurt more and had tons more blood. Has this ever happened to anyone? I think I hit a vein

Probably a very minor one. It's a subcutaneous injection so the needle doesn't go in far. Still usually hurts!!!

Yes, I've had it happen twice. Large bruise developed afterwards. No adverse affects but I cannot tell for certain if it worked/went in properly.

 

[Hermione]

I haven't had any bruising at all! Just more blood pouring out. Glad to hear it's normal!

This happens every once in a while. It's difficult to know where all one's blood vessels are. Put a Band-Aid on it and go on with life. A little black and blue but no biggie.

Good Luck

I think I hit a vein my last injection. Bled a lot and I was worried that some of the medicine came out w/ the blood. The humira nurse line said it should be OK though. I've since developed a huge bruise!
