enoxaparin injection sites

They gave me the blood thinner injection after the His bundle ablation.

Is anyone else experiencing this. I think I really need some more injection sites to use besides the abdomen and the upper legs.

In one study, 50 women with thrombophilia (including 20 factor V Leiden heterozygotes) and recurrent pregnancy loss were treated with enoxaparin throughout 61 subsequent pregnancies. The live birth rate was 75% with enoxaparin prophylaxis, compared to 20% in prior untreated pregnancies [Brenner et al 2000].

So, in essence, you make it even more difficult to insert an injection. So, by alternating your sites, you lesson that possibility, because you give each area a longer recovery time. I can understand the difficulty in trying to give yourself the shots on the back of your arms, or on your backside hips. If my wife (who is afraid of needles and normally passes out at the sight of a needle) did not give me those shots, I couldn't do it myself.

d appreciate experienced opinions. My Support Services weekly injection map/planner has only 4 sites for each arm, 8 for the hips, 10 for the thighs and 19 in the abdomen. That seems excessively burdensome for the arms and not using the abdomen enough. For some of us, sadly, there is SO much adipose territory in the abdomen I'm tempted to consider the upper and lower row of the abdomen two separate 8 site zones and go there twice in a rotation.

wondering if anyone knows what the alternative injection sites are. I am on daily shots of copaxone, and I cannot reach the back hip area with the way my hands are - which is lousy.

It turns out that portal vein and superior mesenteric vein are thrombosed. They put her on enoxaparin and wanted her to rest for 5 days until the next control. She refused to be put on heparin or warfarin because of her history of gastrointestinal bleeding and recent surgery. We've been told thrombectomy would be extremely risky, given her medical history. I read somewhere enoxaparin only prevents further occlusion of the vein and does not lyse existing clot.

I’m still experiencing pain in both these injection sites. It’s significant pain and feels like a knot remains on both sites as well. Just wondering if there’s some “disorder” that may cause this. I know it’s not normal based on previous injections without residual pain. Thanks!

I am 27 weeks pregnancy and have dvt, start to using CLEXANE(ENOXAPARIN) I am really worried is there any harm to my baby Thanks & Rgards

I was switched to Copaxone the daily injection. I have been on it for about two years. On some of my injection sites, especially on my thighs and stomach area I have started getting like indentations. Has anyone else had this problem?

My Dr told me to stay away from injecting on or near those red injection sites. I dont know for sure why, but I have followed that advice. I hope somebody with answers to this will chime in. Ive never heard of using your arms.

Some diabetics I have spoken with about injection sites mention that, after years, some areas develop either a slight raising of tissue (almost like a large lump) or in some cases, some tissue atrophy in areas where injections are given. In order to give each area a rest, most doctors do recommend rotating injection sites. However, if you are not comfortable doing this, just watch carefully for any changes, and if you see changes, alter your pattern. Rotating around the area is a good start.

Does the skin or underlying tissue of your injection sites look or feel any different now than it did when you started? Have you been rotating site location regularly? Massaging the sites (starting 24 hours after use)? If it is a new problem that involves all sites you may need to ask your injection training nurse or your prescribing doc to take a look at what is going on. I'm not aware of any recent changes in the equipment. Please let us know what you find out.

I have clearly discoloured skin patches where my injection sites were. I thought they might go away eventually but approx 18 months post treatment, it's clearly not going to happen. They haven't faded whatsoever. Looks like they are here to stay. The left side is about 1-1/2 " in a ragged circular patch and the right side is blotchier and larger but same thing. Not going to look pretty if I ever get myself back into a bikini (hey, a girl can dream) but I'll live.

My injection sites on my abdomen are about 1-1/2" in diameter and the skin has lost it's pigmentation there. It's noticeably lighter and appears it will stay that way - two roundish shaped and lighter skinned "sites" on my abdomen. Along with the surgery scar, my poor abdomen isn't looking so pretty these days. Are those injection sites going to stay that way? Not a big deal ... just asking.

I've been on Copaxone for almost 3 months now. I've always rotated injection sites like you're supposed to. I'm thinking of retiring my legs though. I can inject my other sites with no problem but my legs are no fun. I always end up with a long patch of discoloration (melanosis or something), it bleeds and the medicine always burns a LOT when I do my thighs. Will anything bad happen if I just rotate 5 sites? Thanks in advance and I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

Yes I'm on the generic enoxaparin. I was on it with my first and forth (all 4 pregnancies were miscarriages). Now I'm on it again since 3 1/2 weeks pregnant.

I have kept an eye on the injection sites just because they are red, warm, and raised, but they have all been okay and all have eventually faded. I have many sensitivities and allergies so I actually was not surprised by this reaction. I figured I would react by getting red and raised areas. But I don't think one has to have allergies to get these reactions. Several people have posted about their injection sites. My case manager even told me some of the discoloring may stay a long time.

s the most complained-about side effect. You must massage each injection site, keep it warm, and rotate the injection sites so that each site has time to recover. If you don't, you'll end up like me! I had problems with some of the sites, so only injected in the hips, thighs, and stomach. After a while, the thighs ended up being so scarred that the injection would cause an IPIR. I also have it in the hips and stomach, but after the thigh IPIR I switched to Betaseron.

I find that the injection sites start itching about a week after the injection. The injection sites also have a lot of itchy, red bumps around them. I take a Benadryl at night and apply hydrocortisone cream. I use hydrocortisone cream during the day too. It works for the injection sites. Aquaphor might work for your tummy sites. I was using just my thighs up until injections 11 and 12.
