[QUOTE="Chris1983, post: 2090411, member: 510159"] Hi there, thank you for your reply I started injecting into my stomach, while skinny I do have a little beer belly so it's the fattest part of me but over time it's starting to get very sore and tender. In fact, a couple of times inserting the needle has made me jump because of the pain and that's not a great feeling when the needle is already in there. Over the weekend I've been injecting into the top of my thigh instead, so far painless but I have noticed a small decrease in how the insulin performs. I'm guessing this is because I'm probably hitting more muscle than actual fat. I've not injected anywhere near my arms, chest or shoulders but they all seem to be aching, like I said it feels like I've pulled the muscles. I've spoken to my doctor about it but she said she had never heard of any such reaction but changed my long lasting pen out for a different one anyway. Perhaps it's unrelated and just bad timing, I'm not sure yet [/QUOTE]
