Lovenox injections

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to psych myself up to give the Lovenox injections? I just can't seem to make myself do it. I've been working on this shot for half an hour. It's not that they hurt or that I don't know what to do. I just can't make myself do it.

I know it's tough. I had to do it for a week post-op. If you can't get someone to do it for you then you'll have to do it yourself. It is a good insurance policy against deadly blood clots. Close your eyes if you have to. Ben

I have 3 injections to go.. my husband gives them to me..I close my eyes.. It doesnot hurt at all and I ws told you cant mess it up so pich and squeeze..good luck

Hi, I've used insulin for about 7 years now and it is never really easy to inject yourself. However, my trick is to count to 10 and I must stick myself by 10. Usually I stick myself before the count of 10. A mind game is all that it is. Also remember, end result of not taking the shot is far worse than the fear in your mind. EW

Hi Cindy! You've got mail. Stacy

I have been giving myself Lovenox shots everyday since the second week of surgery and I still have a week to go! I usually go in the bathroom(the only room where I can get a little privacy and I tell myself that this is for my good. Best wishes
