You probably hit a capillary, nothing to worry about. It could be a vein too but I don't know how big your needle is since Jim never took Rebif. The bruising comes from the blood under the skin and the fact you take an aspirin. No one can tell where those pesky little veins are so it happens time to time. Just apply pressure when it happens and all should be fine.

Here's to a better shot on Monday!
