So, why may I ask, do you wish to manually inject? I did it the opposite way - started manually injecting & switched to the auto-injector. I like it better. I am not really a big fan of the new needles they introduced about a year ago. They are a smaller diameter needle but I think they do bend too readily and I find that it takes forever for the medication to be administered.... Apparently the upside is less inj site reactions but I never had a problem with that. Not sure what advice to offer, except go back to the auto-inj?? Best of luck....

Simply placing the heel of your palm on to the skin and pressing down gently is all it takes. If you don't have feeling in your hands/fingers, that should stabilize your hand and make it a lot easier. There should be a diagram in the box on the instruction page to show you what I mean.

Manual is better because I can inject slower which decreases any swelling. I have bent the needle before but it didn't cause any problem.
