anyone have problems with biologic injection site?

[libbie142]

Hi,

I’ve been on tezspire for a year and have always injected into my stomach (alternating sides) with no problems. I decided to change it up today injected into my thigh which was a lot more painful, bled, and bruised instantly. I’m hoping it won’t affect the absorption by hitting a blood vessel? Does anyone else ever get this? Is it ok to just stick to alternating sides of my stomach in future?

Thanks

Hi libbie142

I don’t think there’s any problem alternating between sites on your stomach.

I have been injecting for over 4yrs every 2 weeks and use various sites ( mainly in my stomach) but also in the top of my legs. You are right that it hurts more in the legs but I try to pinch as large a piece of skin as possible as this seems to help with the sting.

I think its important not to inject in exactly the same area consecutively but I find close by is ok.

I much prefer my arm above all the other options but you need a buddy to do that for you and as my husband is scared of needles that’s not really an option for me!!

Hope it all calms down soon.

😊👍

thank you so much, I feel a lot more reassured. Think I’ll just stick to alternating sides in my stomach from now on! ☺️

No problem… 😊 don’t beat yourself up about it… I think all that matters is that you are brave enough to do the injection yourself. So whatever suits you is just fine.
