blood thinner

I have to have blood thinner for 4 more days. SHOTS in my belly. Well the first 6 were ok, barely felt them. These last one hurt soooo bad. I am not sure whats going on. We are using different spots all around the belly button. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Deb, I'm sorry your're not feeling good. I have to give myself shots too, but my surgeon told me not to do it in the belly. He told me to give myself shots in the thighs. He said that since I just had surgery on my stomach he didn't want the area to be irritated. Call your surgeon and see if you can give the last four in your thighs. Just a suggestion. I hope you feel better. ~~Diamond~~

When I was pregnant with my youngest I had a blood clot so I had to inject myself for a few months with the blood thinners. My nurse taught me that if you grabbed a "fold" of skin around the belly and pinched it before you injected yourself, it didn't hurt as much. That might help you? Vi
