Hi guys I have a 10 day rotation of injection sites. Most times when I get back to the first site, there is still a lump there that is way too painful to inject. Should this be the case after ten days or am I doing something wrong. I’m injecting 60 units of levemir using the novo nordisk pen and bd micro fine needles. ( God forbid, I hope I’m not being a sissy. Lol)

If that's the name they are looking for I am not surprised.......it is called.......
BD Micro-Fine™ + 4mm 32G Pen Needle.
As all the BD needle range are in the BNF60, the prescribing bible they only have to write a scrip for this and the Pharmacist can then supply it for you. Hope that helps.
Here is a link to some injection tips. Scan down to the section marked ..........

I use 8mm BD pen needles and don't have any problems, some Insulin users seem to get this problem.
Hope this helps........
