Have any of you had to give yourself the anti blood clot injections? Surgery is Friday and my Dr prescribed shots for 2 weeks. I watched a you tube video with good tips, but I'm still scared of giving myself these!

Yes I had to do the same. Very easy to give and the needle is very small.

hahahaha! Love injections is an entirely different subject.....but I hope I am "receiving" those quickly after surgery too I hate needles so the YouTube video was very helpful - freeze the area for 20 minutes first and take it sssssllllloooowwwww

I did not have to freeze any part of my body and I just took it directly in my stomach alteration sides. Did your nurse at the hospital not provide guidance/show you how to administer?

Surgery is Friday. I know they will show me but the freezing the area is a good idea. I don't like needles or pain

I had to take lovenox for 30 days. They showed me how at the hospital and Inever froze any part of my tummy. Had never given myself an injection before and was freaking out until I did it myself in the hospital. Be prepared for lots of bruising but very little pain. Think positive. You will do fine.
