Is this much buising normal?

Question

Is this much bruising normal with Lovenox injections? I've been taking them for almost two weeks. It's not really sore, just unattractive.

Answer

Yes. As a nurse I've seen much worse

Answer

I inject also. As I've gone along, the bruising has gotten so much better. I'm 27 weeks now and hardly ever bruise.  It was all purple for the first few weeks though! Try to keep the needle super still to reduce tissue trauma and inject slow, then hold it there for 10 seconds.  Doing that has helped a ton. I tried it while riding in the car one time...definitely do not try that!

Answer

Yes. Rotate sites you inject in and don't rub the spot after injecting.
