Bent Needle
When preparing for my pegasys injection, I noticed that the needle was bent (slanted at an angle).
I was afraid to use it, so I discarded it and now I am short a needle.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Guess from now on I should look more carefully at the needles.

if in a pinch just run to yur pharmacy...if they don't have that size needle they will sell you a syringe that you can draw the meds into, Good to have these on hand.
I noticed the needle was slightly bent just as I was injecting and I kept going. Not my proudest moment but like you I have an allotment of needles. I think you did the right thing because I have still have a major bruise and it was four weeks ago. I asked specialty scripts for extra needles in the event it happens again.
