Hi,

I have had some really nasty bruises from the copaxone, that took ages to go away!! It normally happens when I hit a blood vessel...

The bruises do go and I have slight marks where they once were.. no skin peeling though

Hi Kari,

I've been on Copaxone for about 14 months. I will ocassionally get a bruise, but I have not experienced, nor have I heard of anyone else experiencing, what you describe. If you haven't done so already, you should contact the Teva Shared Solutions people, who are in a better position than anyone to let you know whether others have had a similar experience and how to avoid it.

there is something i use to massage injection site, or other bruises. that is comfrey ointment, available in health food stores. it breaks up bruises sooner than if just left to go away on their own. also, taking injection deeper is helping reduce lumps. linda
