Hey guys, I did a shot of meth, it was about 30 units into my right arm in the vein a little bit above the crook of my elbow where the bicep starts and as I was pulling back the plunger the blood shot into the syringe fast, I thought it was kinda strange cause I’m used to see it go in slowly, so I proceeded to push it in and as I was pushing it, I felt slight pain/pressure but I continued anyway because I thought it was fine. It was red and it hurt a little when I removed the needle not unbearable pain.Im writing this about 1 hour after I did the shot. It’s not red anymore but it’s lsore/achey. Did I miss the shot? What does it mean when the blood shoots into the syringe fast instead of slowly flowing in? Should I be worried? What should I do next time to avoid this happening again?

I've known enough people who used pins to know they all missed from time to time and mostly they were fine. The link is just some issues that can turn up.
Take care of yourself, OK!
I don’t think I missed the shot, my arm is fine but does anyone have a explanation for why the blood shot into the syringe so fast and why the shot hurt going in and had pressure?Missed Shots: The Dangers of Injecting Drugs Outside the Vein
