Does anyone have any tips on managing the pain when administering the infliximab pen? I have to do it every 2 weeks and i'm now at the point where I'm crying in pain when it's happening. I've tried leaving it out of the fridge for an hour before injecting, changing from my stomach to my thigh, and asking my partner to do the injection, and it's still horrible. Is this the price you have to pay to manage your shit?

I'd prefer to manage the pain for the few seconds it lasts rather than have regular infusions at the hospital, but if I can't get it under control then maybe it's the only option I have.

Any suggestions welcome, but be nice please, I'm still sore from the injection!
