Hi Michelle,
Injecting into your upper arm is a problem unless you have 2 hands!. Byetta has to be injected between the fat and muscle layers, which is why pinching is recommended. If you have a fat layer on your arms then you could get away without pinching but would probably need to use a small (5mm) needle. Injecting into your stomach shouldn't result in bruising. Are you using a fresh needle every injection?
