i have seen this site for years. it comes up a lot in my google searches. i just joined tonight because i have a question that i cant find any kind of partial answer to???? which i find weird cause this cant be the first time it has happened?
so my question is, why when you insert a neeedle and pull back would it seem like theres to much pressure in it and it slides back down, causing the air from the pull back to go into your veins? that cant be good. this has been happening for like 2 weeks. maybe the manufacturer is to blame. what causes...CAN I FIX IT... PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW CAUSE ITS STARTING TO F UP MY ARM. THANX
 
If I understand you correctly, there's nothing to worry about. Getting air bubbles in your veins isn't a big deal.

I think what you're saying is this, though I'm not positive. Correct me if I'm wrong; injecting problems can turn out very serious, even life-threatening in the rare extremes (not here though!):

You take a brand new or nearly-new syringe. Insert in vein. Pull back on plunger hoping to register. You see an empty space (what you describe as "air" in there). If you then simply let go, the plunger slides back down and the empty space is gone (unless you hit a vein -- "registering" -- in which case that empty space fills in because blood shoots in).

If I'm right so far, that's not "too much pressure." It slides back down because you've actually created a little vacuum inside the barrel (aka the "syringe" -- the empty tube part which contains liquid or, after you pull the plunger back, empty space that looks like air); let go of the plunger and it slides right back down; if you hold it until you strike a vein, then blood shoots into the syring/barrel and that empty space disappears. It's not actually air (I don't think!), just a vaccum with negative pressure.

Am I describing what you're talking about? If not, please explain your worry in a bit more detail

Careful! Keep somebody around when you do it if you're new.
