Injections

I get a bloody eye almost every time I get an injection. I changed doctors hoping the new one would be better but here I am with another very bloody eye. This time he said he got a vessel with the numbing needle. Does anyone get the injections without the numbing injection? I know they use numbing drops but is that enough. Also, My eye still feels sore on the third day. Is that unusual. It’s never been sore like that before. Usually feels fine the day after even when it’s bloody.

  1. I know that taking blood thinners can cause bleeding with any type injection. Fish oil, vitamin E, and other supplements can also thin the blood and cause bleeding. Then there are people like me not on anything to thin the blood but I bleed easily and for longer times than others do. I hope you and your doctor can sort out the cause for the bleeding and prevent it in the future. Sharon, Patient leader
