Tips for Lovenox injections

Mindy

Hi ladies,

I am 6 weeks today! High risk due to previous blood clots. Today was my first injection of Lovenox and my goodness it was awful!! There was crying involved. 🤦‍♀️ My husband was the best about it and super understanding and reassuring. I thought the worst part would be the needle. Man was I wrong! The pain and burning of the shot was horrible. It was like the pain just radiated further from the injection site. I’ve watched some videos online but was wondering if anyone has experience with it and has tips to help with the pain.
