I've been injecting Rebif since July with no problems until about a month ago. I'm single, so I do all the injections myself and only have my stomach and thighs to choose from. I alternate and it's been working well.
Then about a month ago one of the injection sites in my stomach got very sore, turned red then purple then swollen. It was really gross and I was almost ready to go see the doctor when it began healing.
I left my stomach alone for a few weeks but did another injection on my stomach a few days ago (not the exact same spot) and now that one is feeling sore and red and a little swollen.
Has anyone else had any trouble with injections in the belly? My thighs handle it very well but I find it less painful in the stomach. I just don't know why all of a sudden this is happening???
