[QUOTE="laurakirkup, post: 1858231, member: 297428"] Hi all, The past month or so I have really noticed big bruises and lumps on my injection sites, I spoke to the nurse a few weeks ago and her advice was to just keep rotating. I have been injecting for 22 years now and have always rotaed sites as much as possible, (I’m quite slim so there’s not much space to rotate) my concern now is that I’m just injecting into bruises that are already there, and it looks awful! Boiling weather and I have huge bruises over the tops of my legs making me super self concious! I am having the same issue in my stomach with lumps as well, I just feel like I’m stuck at the moment. A few years ago I used to inject long acting into my bum, I was told now the only sites to use would be my stomach and legs but does anyone still inject in there bottom? Even if I can do it for a couple of weeks I feel I really need to give my legs a break. *I will be on the pump soon and not have this problem for much longer but right now it’s just painful! Any advice appreciated! [/QUOTE]
