Where I inject four times a day I'm finding I hurt all the time. I have lumps under my skin. Laying down to sleep is an issue as I'm laying on the lumps I injected and its very painful. I rub where I do it after. What else can I do. Even wearing clothes can be uncomfortable

Hello! Where do you inject? Do you use your tummy? I have not had this problem yet- was only diagnosed in dec 2012. I was told to very slightly pinch the skin on tummy where i inject, but was also told not to rub after. Could you move the injection site very slightly for each jab? Hope this helps.

Almost 30 years, majority of injections and sets in my left bum cheek.. Rotated with sets now in my right bum cheek. Tummy to muscly and slim to accept sets or injections. Legs too much blood to regularly use.
 
Bum cheeks always checked by me and consultants/dsns.. No probs at all.
 
I have to ask, how long and what gauge are your needles?
 
Hi I tend to use the tummy region but make sure you move across each time I was experiencing the same issues as you, I started moving across and thank God everything seems fine. All the best hope that helps.
