    Any Avonex pen users getting skin indentations?

    Are any avonex pen users having any site issues like skin indentations or lumps? How about bruising and bleeding. I find that The pen doesn't give me flu symptoms like the regular avonex injection but I feel like my skin is tsking a beating. Who wants bumps and marks on their legs?!

    I can relate

    Hi. I do the Avonex shots and I do have indents on my thighs. I also have had bruising. The marks linger for a while too. I've been on the meds since 2008 and no new lesions. I'm not thrilled with the marks either.

    Best of luck to you

      Ouch

      I've been on Avonex for almost a year now. I haven't had many injection site reactions but, my upper thighs and getting very tender. I frequently have painful skin anyway so selfinjecting can be unpleasant to say the least. I have had some success with putting topical lidocaine on before and wiping it off just before the poke. Do the indents hurt? How long before you noticed them?
