I was just wondering, for people who inject in the upper arm, does it hurt? I have been thinking of doing this but am a bit worried of it hurting? ( After almost 4years, I still cannot do it myself)
I'm starting to notice very slight scarring on my thighs so was abit worried of permanently damaging/scarring muscle tissue.

Hi Hanhie
I just joined this forum this evening and came across this post. I was recently diagnosed (Apr) and began Avonex in May. I started feeling the paranoia of injecting in one spot (thighs) early on and have started mixing it up with my upper arms. To answer your question, in my experience, the actual injection does hurt a bit more than in the thighs. Once the injection is over typically I'm fine. I say typically because last weeks injection site is still very visibly bruised so I do need to inquire about that. I wouldn't discourage the idea of trying it if not for just one dose.
