Hi, is it your first time shut? If is, you should ask them next time to administer it very very slowly.

Have them administer it slowly, warm it up before hand and don't put your weight on the hip their injecting it in. That will cause your hip muscle to flex. I just lift up that leg on injection.

Yes, I do all the above, and get sore hips. I have arthritis pain elsewhere, never in my hips, and it happens after the injection, so I assume that is why. You shouldn't be getting big lumps if it is injected correctly - just little lumps that resolve quickly.
