bruises on my belly

i was shown how to do it, i am sure to try harder. and its no big deal in the scheme of things i guess. thank you all so much, and i hope this day finds happiness in an unexpected surprise.

Well do you know how to properly inject yourself? And also it depends on the needle (its length) because I have been on needles for 5 months almost 6 and I have only had one bruise, and this is because I hit a capillary. You are supposed to pinch the site where you are going to inject, and then after the injection let it go and remove the needle. I hope this helps.

I too take shots and get bruises. I am on an aspirin regimen, but I was told in a class I took to learn how to use needles that if you hit a vein that causes the bruising. I don't bruise everywhere, so that must be it.

hey i am on needles i dont bruise but not on any blood thinners, did you ask your doctor or educator, take care

good advice you guys. no, no asprin. and i do pinch, its not a big problem, i lost my bikini body in the 80's haha, (wish i could remember where i lost it) it just bothers me, thats all. thank you all, i hope is a good day for all.

I'm not on needles myself but my Mom is, and I know that she bruises and then again she is also on asprin.

Are you taking some kind of blood thinner or are you taking something (like asprin) which has a side effect of thinning your blood. My bride had to take coumadin and she got bruises. I take Aggrenox which thins my blood. I get bruises too. Perhaps you might contact your Dr or Pharmicist to see if anything you take has that side effect.

Hello
When I was on shots I needed to let the insulin get room temp and inject it slowly to keep from getting bruisis it helped to lightly pinch where I give the injection.
Hope this helps you
