Feeling Bruised

[Rosie Girl]

I was wondering if any one else always feels bruised. Like if I scratch anywhere it will almost feel like I have left a bruise where I touched. It also happens many times if I try to massage a sore muscle.

Can anyone identify?

Where do you do your injections? That happens to me any time I get a flu shot, but I don't inject Avonex in my arm like they do flu shots, and so far, I haven't felt any soreness in my thighs. I've only had 3 injections so far though, so I'm far from being experienced at this.

Hi

I've been on Avonex for nearly 8 months. I alternately inject in my upper leg area. I've been fortunate so far. Only hit a bad spot once - and even then, it was only tender to the touch for a day or so. I use the pen so perhaps that helps. During triation, i had no issues other than thrusting the needle into my leg

I wish you well!
