Bubble at Injection Site - is that okay?

[booocooo]

Hello :)

I went to my doctor's office to get my shot (my dad usually gives it to me since he was a dentist and the best "shot giver" ever!!!).  The nurse didn't pinch the skin in my stomach (like I normally do) and immediately after my shot all the medicine bubbled under the skin.  She had me lay there for about 5 minutes while it went down and she gently "massaged" it down.  The site looks fine now - not swollen, red or anything, so do I need to worry about any infection/reaction?  Thanks!  Only 9 more to go....wooooohoooo!!!!

Like jmjm530 said. It will do the job.

I became very thin during tx, and had less and less to stick the needle into. (At least it felt that way, so i lifted the skin and angledl at least 45 degrees.) The last two months or so I got a bubble every time, but I felt the sides, so I know the poison went in.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. The important thing is that the meds got under the skin and stayed there.
