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.
