Last night was my 3rd injection. I stuck the needle in my left thigh and as I was actually injecting the med, I felt a slight pain (nowhere near as bad as where the medication was actually going in but felt very weird) that shot down my entire leg. Once I finished injecting, that completely went away. Is that normal? I go on the top of my thigh more toward the outside to avoid the sciatic nerve and I also pull back on the syringe to make sure I'm not in a vessel.
Maybe 10 minutes after injecting, I started feeling a little weird (I usually do but more last night, although it was the 3/4 injection so it's more than I've ever had before). Shortly after that, I started getting really shaky (like I was shivering but not cold but I couldn't stop shivering) so about an hour after, I just went to bed. I was a lot more shaky this time than the first injection (second injection I had nothing). When I woke up this morning, I was perfectly fine.
I really want to know though, has anyone else felt that pain shoot down their leg like that? Did I do something wrong? This med totally freaks me out and honestly, I think I'm looking for any excuse to call the dr to report why I shouldn't take it so I can start Copaxone instead.
