Sore injection site

[Tutsy2002]

Hi all,

I inject my buserelin on my left thigh but it's now sore. Is it ok to inject on my other thigh?

I alternated which leg I did each day and tried to fund a new spot each time, so yes will be fine. X

Yep u can definately use other leg and avoid injecting near where u have before. Alternate if you can x

Thanks Lamb82.... I started on the other thigh last night.

I used my tummy and I've heard others say it isn't as painful there. The main thing is to alternate the sites so they don't get too bruised and sore.

Hey, I got told to use my tummy. Sit back on a chair (not that I needed to do that as I have an inch anyway lol) and so long as you pinch an inch anywhere under the belly button then it's fine! I gave myself a few bruises but at least you can move along the tummy if you do!x

Thanks Cinderella5......I actually tried the other thigh last night at least to give my right thigh a break.

Hi Titsy2002. Try putting an ice cube on the "spot" before injecting - often helps to reduce any pain. Good luck! Diane

Thanks for the tip Diane.
