[QUOTE="Westley, post: 2662201, member: 254425"] I occasionally get painful temporary bumps like that when an injection wasn't deep enough. You don't want it too deep or you hit muscle which is painful (and absorbed much quicker), but too shallow is also bad. It needs to reach the subcutaneous fat, and if the needle doesn't get all the way through the outer skin layer, it forces it apart in a painful way. You might need a slightly longer needle. [/QUOTE]
