For some reason, other than the typical injection site reaction (burning for 20ish min), I don't have side effects using Copaxone, except on my right thigh.
I've done 2 injections on this thigh, and each time the area injected remains a huge bump (that's kind of tough) for up to 24 hours after the injection.
This only occurs on this 1 site.
Anyone else experience this as well?
1 large bump for 24 hours on 1 injection site

Thighs are my nemesis. They seem so fat to me yet they don't have enough fleshiness for the shot. i go shallow, yet i can have swollen ITCHY sites for up to 3 days. I found the reaction to be way less when I reserve my thighs for days I know I won't be doing alot of walking. I think the fabric rub intensifies the rx.
back of my arms can get a bit reactive as well, but all in all I gladly take these rxs. rather than the interferons.
