I've been exercising for a few months, especially my arms, and eating a low fat diet for quite a while.
Needless to say, I've lost fat on my arms over time (as well as elsewhere), but I've found the injections on my arms 'changed'. Like you, it feels like I'm hitting a muscle. I get pain to my arm pits, my muscles 'spasm' it feels like... no matter where I inject on the arms. I never had the issue before... it just started 2 months ago.

Legzz --
I have that problem (aching for 3 days, Ibuprofen every 3-6 hrs to get me through it) with arms, legs and hips. I finally quit doing all those sites, because I was simply not willing to hurt that much. I inject only in my abdomen, and only 4x per week, because Shared Solutions does not recommend using sites more than once per week. My MS Specialist is OK with that. (I actually made the change on my own, and told her about it several months later.) She says, "We do what we can." In spite of my decreased injection fx, Copaxone seems to be working. I had a UTI in December, which usually triggers a flare. This time, it didn't! ~ Faith

But I can only do shots in my belly. It hurts pretty well everywhere else. I have started doing them without the auto injector. They've come out with a smaller needle and it works pretty well for me. I really can't believe I got brave enough to try it w/out the injector...one day I just did it!
 My husband couldn't believe it...nor could I. But anyway, it leaves less problems at the site than when I use the injector.
