I get three shots per week, two in stomach and one in upper thigh. Finding going though them harder each time we arrive. The thigh injection very painful and slow.

Most probable that you have fluid in your abdomen. I have the same problem. Can be controlled with dieretics although it’s a yo yo proposition. If you are at the point that you are throwing up fluid… read more
..I mean from the injectable form given during induction
yes, they change locations....wondering if a slower injection would help? Anyway, I'm past all that .....for now, anyway.
I find with my fingers that if I give them a really good shaking for 30 seconds it almost completely goes away, for a while. Cant figure out how to shake my toes so i massage them and it helps a bit.
