I have been taking lovenox shots since I came home from the hospital. This morning I notice red lump on my right side. Has this happened to anyone else.

You will probably get lumps and/or bruising at injection sites.  I had these for a few weeks even after I stopped the injections.  My center required these for 4wks.

Hi, I work with lovenox in my real life. I agree with above poster that this is not unusual and the bumps might hang around.  Your bruises frequently get worse over time. You would definitely want to contact medical team if the bump is hot and sore.  And , of course, running this by your team is never a bad idea so they can ask more pertinent questions that the we might not think of on the forum.

I did have a 'welt' type bruise at one of my injection sites.
