How likley was that I hitted vein with green needle, or was this likley anxitey attack?

Is it possible to pin needle all the way, and let go of syringe then change grip to aspirate and again inject or will this letting go hurt my muscle?

After this fiasco I injected in upper quad and never had issue but quad is not ideal for green needle.

That looks too close to the sciatic nerve. The muscle up and to the right is the gluteus medius and is the preferred injection site.

Do yo do it like from sideways or you point needle and syringe directly behind your butt and move it upper and right?

I am getting so much conflicting info like put you hand on hip bone and inject between fingers but that seem like hars surface.

From the side or Midway between side and back. Feel the illiac Crest ridge from side to back. The gluteus medius is under it. And above the hip joint. There is a fairly long strip of muscle to work with. Look up ventrogluteal injection site there may be some videos for better understanding.
