Accidently injected some air into my body

I was in a hurry today, and I forgot to get out all of the air in the syringe before I injected some HCG subcutaneously into my stomach. I only injected a little bit before I realized what I had done. My question is, What will be the effect of this? Am I likely to get an abcess? It seems like the injection site is much more sensitive today than it normally is.

Not a problem; nothing to wory about.
 
The effect is nothing.. your body will just absorb it... A close friend of mine is an R.N. and she says that it would take well over 5 cc's of air injected directly into a vein to kill you... and IM probably won't do anything..so in other words..relax...NO worries ;)

my doctor has told me the same thing... stop stressing.

Also do you see how quick nurses jab you with the needle and they have not got all the air out. I also have not had one nurse aspirate the needle when sticking it in me....
 
How weird, my buddy just told me today he saw that on a medical special. 5 cc's right into a vein. Yikes... that's a hell of a lot of air. My syringe is only 3 cc's, so I better get a bigger one.
