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 just got done yesterday with 14 of them-two a day for a week. I don't know of a good way to make yourself do it, except to consider the consequences if you don't. You have my sympathies. Elizabeth

Cindy, I havent had the surgery yet, but I had to take Lovenox when I got out of the hospital for my achilles tendon surgery in April. I was like there is NO way I can do this, but its not as bad as you think! It literally is pain free..its just the thought of doing it. What I did was I got it set where it was suppose to go, and looked away and quick shot it in. No pain...and after doing it a few times, I could even look at it when I did it. Just remember to do it as there could be major consequences if a blood clot forms. You can do it!! Janine

Cindy, just have your husband or somebody else do it for you. You have to have this shot. I know a girl who almost died from a blood clot. This is nothing to scrw around with. If you can't do it, ask for some help from someone. But either way, DO IT!!! jean
