M3 insulin type 2 diabetes:For a few years i have been injecting insulin into my thigh and my hip joint was very painful and getting worse by time. It got so bad that i could hardly walk 30 yards without stopping with pain. I don't know why but i changed the position of injection back to my stomach, the pain stopped after a few weeks so i checked with my Doctor if the pain was due to the insulin and not with diabetes, he could not answer straight away but advised me they now do a rotation with injecting. Arms, left then right and so forth with the stomach and thighs. I was not aware of this and thought if anybody was experiencing the same symptoms as pain with injecting in the same position if this information would help them.

Yes your Dr is right that it's important to rotate injection sites, the following has diagram on where you should inject insulin:
