Little hard areas

[Jinjanut]

Next to my belly button where I have my injections it a little hard under the skin. I think its because I kept doing the injections around the same place. Anyone else had this? Sorry I feel like a hypochondriac keeping asking questions! Xx

Sometimes you get that with the heparin injections but it will go in time.....mine did anyway. If they havnt gone in a about a week Id get them checked XX

I've always alternated the areas for any injections, long term insulin. Are you referring to insulin or heparin?

Love and hugs xxx

You shouldn't massage with heparin. It's one if the few exclusions to the rule. Moving it around helps though. I had this happen once during my pregnancy (had them daily throughout) and it's just something that happens occasionally. So long as it is not red & inflamed, very sore, growing in size etc I was told not to worry. Mine disappeared (she says feeling her belly!) after a few weeks I think.

Never rub after your clexane injections! You stimulate the drug which is designed to stop the blood clotting and you will end up with bruises. Always go for a new area, if your anything like me you'll have enough tum to avoid the same hole twice xx

You could be withdrawing the needle to quickly,so the drug sits/under close to the skin..
I get a hard lump if I pull out to quickly...
I was told you have to count to 5 after you finish injecting before removing the needle.

I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for 6 years and 5 injections a day. xx

I was the same with insulin... but it's a different type of injection with heparin and blood clotting... (stings too) but I know what you mean Lisa... I've had loads of lumps and bumps over the years with insulin sites despite moving around regularly to legs, arms and tum...
