Everyone's so unique.
The 'hips' (I call them the bum cheeks) are my easiest place to inject. I go right for the fleshy fatty area. I don't follow the Copaxone 'grid' really that strictly for the area, because I find that the grid was not where I have the most padding. No problems since I started winging it.
My arms are the worst now, namely my left arm (I have my muscle spasm... it seems I have muscle spasms no matter where/how I inject there) and my stomach because the burn after is the most intense of any of the areas I do my shots.
I'll settle for the few minutes of pain every day over the idea of my disease potentially progressing quicker without this medication, but I also have not seen the allergic reaction side of the shots, or IPIR. I've been lucky.
