I have heard of others using the INside part of the thigh, but I just dont have the courage for that. I use the OUTside part of the thigh. I go as high up as the butty area.

Im sorry you still have lumps/bruises. It took me a good year to get adjusted to the meds. lumps, itches, swellings, and so on. Most people say at 6 months they just sort of settle in. for me, it was at least that first year before things settled.

As for your trip, double up on bum shots. I have lots of real estate to chose from there. I dont use my arms anymore. I do double bum. So, if you use the outter thigh, up high, and the double bum and tummy, you should be mostly covered for your trip.
