For my first 14 days of injections, the little sting was less and less and I expected it to totally stop with time. However, for the past two days, the sting and burn has been painful.

I fill my syringe, then I put the whole thing (recapped) under my armpit to warm it up. When it is warm, I swab my injection site, wait a while until it dries, and then wait a moment or so longer. I pinch the site fairly tightly, and slowly introduce the needle until it's fully engaged. I totally releast my skin-pinch and move my hand from my flesh. Then, slowly, I press in the plunger. When the syringe is empty, I wait a moment (count to 5) and I slowly pull the needle out.

For two weeks, this has worked fine. I noticed I'd have a little sting at the very end, but it was minimal discomfort, a little more when in my belly.

Yesterday, I injected into my belly, fairly distant from my BB. This time, it hurt. It really hurt. But I kept to protocol. Slow and steady. A couple of inches of my lily-white, british-isles-fair-skin reddened and remained red for at least one half hour (I didn't check after that).

So, today, I returned to my thighs. Followed protocol. The injection was painful at the outset and I could feel it seep into my tissues. I went slowly. It continued to hurt and sting, a real yowzer as I felt the fluid radiate up and down my thigh. Oww. Worse than yesterday, but my thigh skin isn't as clearly pink, just slightly discolored.

Does anyone have a clue what could be happening? I left the Hucog out overnight on Friday. Could it have gone "bad?" Should I inject more, or less, or mix a new batch (I have only 5000 units and wish I had some 2000 Hucogs). Has my body become resistant? Is it dangerous to continue? Do I need to angle down more? All sorts of questions come to mind!

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from occurring again? Have you had this experience and found a way to solve the problem?
