I have a little meat on me and can never seem to find a vein. I had a blood clot in my left arm a couple years ago not drug related, and i am right handed,, so shotting in my left arm im agasinst and can't seem to find a vein. I take a hot bath to bring out the ones in my feet but still find it hard to hit,,, I'm new to shooting up but am still trying. I don't know how people suck up blood and push off with onl;y one hand,, it seems impossible when i try. any suggestions would be apreciated. I am new to blue light as well and find it difficult to find forums im looking for,, and my past posts,,Any two cents on the matters presented in this post would be apreciated thank you,, is the vein right opposite to the welbow a vein or artery,, how do you tell the difference.
 
just try the inside of your right elbow..... practice makes perfect....or have someone help....

id start with that spot always, until you know what your doing....
 
You really need to learn how to do it one handed. You push in with one hand, grip, and use fingers to pull back blood and push in.

You can use a belt to tie off and make veins pop out more. Different people feel different about tying off, but it will make veins appears, thats all to say...

I've shot in my hands, feet, arms, ankles, wrists, and groin
 
Okay your safe, I saw a doctor do this on tv. Wrap a Tourniquet around your arm to apply pressure, usually at the top of the arm leaving the outer elbow exposed. As the veins in your elbow area, you stick the needle that has been properly checked for air bubbles in the largest vein. Once you stick it in, its best to pull back just a bit to make sure you hit blood. Finale step is to push the button. I hope that guy on tv knew what he was doing LOL
 
^^^ Some people argue about removing the tourniquet prior to shooting, after drawing blood.

Personally I leave it on, and find it easier. As soon as I'm done though I drop the spike and take it off as quick as possible. May not be the safest, but easiest imo, and worth the extra pressure risks. Make sure if you do this it's not too tight
 
once your in the vein there is no longer any reason to keep the TQ tight except for the visual affirmation that there is indeed a vein in that spot...

from what i understand if you are in a vein and the circulation is cut off when you inject there is a possibility of liquid backing up escaping from the punctured spot in the vein

just my 2 cents : )
 
Yeah I just to keep the belt tightened after I had registered and could never understand why it looked like I missed but now I know it can and will come back out through the puncture in the vein, so as a rule I personally always loosen my belt after registering.
 
make sure to stay hydrated, the other day I had blood drawn and my veins in the hands weren't sticking out at all so the nurse said that means I'm not hysdrated enough.

What you see on the inside of the arm bend is a vein. It's one of the first vein's I was able to hit, and I'm sure it was plenty of other people's first easy to hit vein as well.

You can tell artery's from vein's because artery's have a pulse.

This thread should give you quite a bit of info.

Oh, and 95% of the time I don't even have to pull the plunger back, I can see a tiny amount of blood register, and that's all I need to know.

I also had a hard time finding veins at first, since for whatever reason they just don't show through my arms at all. A nurse taught me how to "feel" for them, when you tap your arm where you think a vein might be it's a little spongier, not sure how else to describe it but you CAN feel them.

Also, I find it's really easy to find veins on the top of my hands, plus the skin is tighter there and helps keep the needle from slipping (I've almost never missed a shot with my hands).
