Notice a lump on my tummy… advice please

[Lata7384]

Hello Ladies,

Hope you are doing well. I am on Enox 0.4ml injections but I noticed a lump on my tummy. I had a sudden strong pain and it turned to a massive bruise. The bruise is fading now but notice a lump. Is it normal or should I contact my GP? Please advise.

I'm not sure with Enox as I've never taken it but when I was injecting lubion and Clexane they caused lumps and pretty big bruises. I posted here about it and some lovely ladies suggested to place an ice cube on the injection site before injecting and after injecting hold a cotton wool ball firmly on the injection site for a few minutes. When I started doing this I stopped getting big bruises and lumps. If your worried I would suggest that you speak to your clinic for reassurance.

same as stars all around I got a lump with clexane and lubion too and clinic said it can happen but you should give them a wee ring if you’re worried xx

Clexane is a brand name of Enoxoparin so all three of us who have responded are on the same drug - this is really common, my stomach is like a leopards and full of lumps and bumps, they take a while but go eventually! Good luck x
