I have to give myself lovenox shots for a whole month after the surgery... How about you guys? I'm so sick of doing it. They burn now that I am not on any pain meds, lol.

I was on it too. But I only had to do for 10 days. But they watching my blood though

I have to do mine for 28 days. The key to not have pain is to go in quick and at a slight angle and then do not rub the site. I've had to do these for 4 months several years ago with I had a pulmonary embolism. It's worth the pain of the shots if it can prevent the blood clot. Sorry you have pain!

I only had them during my hospital stay. I didn't feel the needle go in when the nurse would pinch up the skin and then give the shot. It might work for you too.

I had to do then for 6 days and it burned. I did it on my legs and ended up bruising myself. Better to do under belly button. Good luck!

30 days...mine burn sometimes too. I figure it's the angle or place causing the burn. ( operator error..lol) I have 8 more to go!

Only had them while I was in the hospital
