Ive been on copaxone for 3 months. Im use to the burning and the occassional bruising I get, but I have had a rough 3 months. I have had several IPIR's, but neuro said to keep taking the med, so I have. The one thing I really am having a hard time with is that every time I inject, I get the lump under the skin.

The past 8 shots, all lumps! I have enough MS pain, I dont need any more! Im getting so frustrated with this dmd, Im ready to quit!! I have done everything SS has recommended, heating the area by heating pad or bath or shower, applying pressure to site for a full minute, dont rub the site for a full 24 hours, you can do that after 24 hours. I try to rub the site after 24 hrs but it hurts so bad I can barely touch it. My neuro suggested spraying on lanacaine spray before/after injection, that did nothing! Wits end... I am there
