Actemra shots, specifically the Epi-Pen....still having problems injecting...have to push hard until I feel needle pierce skin....this morning I felt medicine drip down my leg, but some went in because I had blood and a pin hole in my leg. Don't know if i should do another or just wait until next week.

Do you get a first click, then a second click? It may be faulty, I would check with your supplier. I once had one squirt all over the room. My husband did it from then on and was very good at it. Hesitating is no good.

I get one click when a dye tells me it's done....maybe I released the plunger before I removed it though....I think I need to remove then release the plunger.
