Some injections hurt worse than others - why?
We all know that the Dupixent auto-injector pen hurts. Does anyone else have experience with some injections hurting significantly more than others, though? Some injections it's fine, just the usual pain from the pressure thanks to how fast the pen injects the meds. But some injections hurt like CRAZY the moment the needle goes in and I can't hold it on for even a second.
I'm always consistent with my method - I set the pen out at room temp for several hours, I inject in the abdomen at least two inches away from the navel, and generally lower down on the abdomen than the navel. I make sure I switch between the left and right side of my abdomen every injection.
So, I'm stumped as to what could be causing the excess pain. Any ideas?
