Sounds like you smacked the muscle. As time marches forward, you will learn your body, and where the best picks are for poking.

hang in there. Tummy days are great! no muscle, all fat! woo!

Yeah, figured I hit a muscle. My "recovering" sister thought so too...I find it so ironic that she did it on purpose every day and when she finally stops after years and years, then it's me that has to start "shooting" up daily! Hey, have I been Punked? (Sound familiar?)

I was just wondering today what was so special about the "designated" areas for the shots.... would it really matter if I alternated between 4 areas instead of 7? I am a "by the books" kind of gal too and tend not to deviate...but I'm feeling a bit snappy today and might just break a rule someday!

So far I found the thigh to be horrible, my inner left arm is still bruised from Monday, tummy was no big deal at all and neither was the hip. Today I tried my right arm...more on the bottom side and only see a light bruise. I am a bit gun shy to try the thigh again but I think I am going to go to the "outside" to be adventurous
