Hi thanks for replying I have been on this for about six months and it seems to be all the time not as bad but some type of bruising but I ha e been doing injections for years only seems to be abtacept that it does it with.

It depends on the dispersal method of the injection. If they are pre filled with the button instead of the plunger then the injection uses compressed air to get it into you. Normally used under the skin on your stomach. The hospital told me they will always leave a bruise. It's not the person its the compressed air that does it. Hope this helps
