The reason they have you pull back is so you don’t inject into your vein - blood stream versus deep muscle where it should go. I still pull back to make sure. Also why we check for air bubbles so we don’t inject into our blood stream - can be deadly 😬 BUT if your doc says ok to not pull back, then it should be ok. Mine still tells me to do so.
PIO Shot Question
PIO injections start today!!
I asked my doctor about IF we pull back on the plunger and see a little blood when doing the shot, do we have to discard the PIO and start over, or is it ok to inject with a little blood in it? They responded that they don’t pull back to check for blood anymore and we should just stick it and inject. 😬
First timer here so no idea if this is normal or not - can anyone share their knowledge/experience with this?? Helppp!
