That used to happen to me, every single time I injected in my thigh, my arm, or my hip. I called Shared Solutions multiple times. Tried all their tips. They thought, too, that I must be injecting into a muscle. The site would ache for 2-3 days. It would hurt so much (in multiple places, because Copaxone is a daily shot) that I would take Tylenol or Advil evety 4-6 hours, always. At night, the pain would wake me, so I'd take it then too.
Finally, I called Shared Solutions to have a nurse come and re-train me. She said I was doing it correctly, and I was not hitting muscle.
I talked with my MS Specialist, who approved me injecting only in my abdomen, and, only 4x per week, so I didn't use the same site more than once a week (due to concerns about dents).
Has been working fine for me. I've been doing it that way for over a year.
