So I just injected into my butt because I don't have any fat that I can pinch on my stomach and it hurts when I inject into my thigh so I thought why not..give it a try!

Everything went smoothly until I noticed that the actual needle tip was missing afterwards..it must be in my butt still..

Will this cause any problems? I mean it's only a tiny shard of metal right?

I won't be doing that again, I'll try my arms next time..

Call 111 for help and advice as an infection could be a real bummer, take care.
 
I was thinking of asking one of you guys to suck it out, you know, like poison with snake bites..

I'm sure the radiation in my body will dissolve it or something..lol

Or I could just grab a magnet

You remind me of the scene from 'Bananas'
 
I don't think this one time should put you off from injecting there though.....this isn't normally a regular occurrence...

maybe it was just your technique as it was your first time..
 
Well I don't think I'll try that. I have enough injection problems today ..... lol Seriously though mist you have to ring 111 or go direct to A and E. Just remembered though you are agoraphobic ....

Mr E just told me that needles can move about the body... he cited an entomologist who had one come out of his upper arm after going in his finger

I think you need some medical advice there mist! Did the needle stay in or did it drop off onto another surface?
 
I'll remember to never try that I hope you get help to get it out... I guess leaving it in wouldn't be good. Now I worry when I see my needle bent when I pull it out.... I'd freak out if it got stuck in me I think.

Call I11 first, or make an appointment with your GP asap. if all else fails then possibly a magnet, but not a fridge magnet as they aren't strong enough ;-)
 
Sorted. I managed to get it out myself with some nail clippers..

I'll try my arms next time because that was a pain in the butt..

Passes mist a sticking plaster
 
This guy may have helped..?



& this guy carries nail clippers...



But I have seen this issue with odd loose needle in in the screw cap before...
Normally noticed when affixing to the pen.
 
Well done for locating it and pulling it out by yourself; I'm a bit squeemish so not sure I could've done it (on my butt that is, not yours!!)

btw, I think you look good in glasses - prob better than without
