I had some lumps that took a full year to go away. I do have some questions for you tho.


is it hot? red? inflamed? Do you have any red streaks leading away from it?

It could be a cellulitis which can result from injury or trauma to an area of skin or muscle tissue. I would suggest having your MD look at it. More quickly if its red/swollen/angry but if not, just have it peeped at during your next check up.

Auto injectors for ALL DMDs are tricky. its a balance of shooting deeply enough to get the meds in, while being shallow enough to not nick a muscle (unless you are on avonex) and each of us has our own personal layer of depth on our bodies. I used the side wall of my thighs because the top side had virtually no fat, just a lot of muscle. I found a nice fatty pad on the side to jab. I chose my hip versus my bum bum because if I got a lump I found it uncomfy to sit or lay in my chair. I used the back side of my arm where more fat lives. Learning these things on YOUR body is an experience.

Best of luck.
