A member asked:
If there were air bubbles in a syringe used to inject you intramuscular would you know by now if you had an air embolism if you were injected 5 days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need not worry, it is unlikely to have caused air embolism. Intramuscular injection is not likely to cause air embolism, and quite often the air bubble may have been absorbed or not even get to the muscle because it may have been dissipated in the process of injection. How is the site of injection? If it is okay there, then you are okay.
