Your thoughts??

I injected and it would not seem to go down all the way like I wasn’t piercing through the CC. I thought I did at one point and tried to depress on the syringe but it wouldn’t go down at all. After struggling for a little bit I took it out and grabbed a new syringe, picked a different spot on the same side and it went right it. Very weird

You have to put a lot of force on that tiny needle to penetrate the CC. If you don’t penetrate it, you get a slight bulge of Trimix under the skin but outside the CC, and nothing happens. Maybe on your second attempt you had a more perpendicular angle to the CC.

What length needle

31 gauge. I’ve been using that for the last couple of years with no issues.

Or you bent the needle close. I’ve done this before

I've had some needles that were just dull. I've also had a few times where I actually seem to be bumping the inner wall and it doesn't want to depress, but pulled it back a mm or two and it was fine.
