Frown Avonex site reactions?

Occasionally I have had reactions that would be like a mild redness and warmth to the area of injection. This wouldn't last but a couple of days and really didn't bother me that much. As they say, nothing to write home about. Well last Monday, that's Monday of LAST week, I gave myself my shot. it was one of those dream shots. You know when it doesn't burn or hurt at all and you can't even tell where to put the band aid because there isn't even a blood spot. So the next day the site is really hurting. It feels like a severe bruise under the skin. And it's still there after 8 days. If I sit or lay in one spot for to long, it's very incapacitating to stand up. I like to lay on my side to sleep and it takes a while for the pain to go away for me to lay on that leg. It hurts to bend over, etc. Any one else have any similar reaction? Should I call my neuro?
