Looking for advice. I would say 1 out of every 3 shots really hurt (the poke part) the ones that hurt always leave red dots, the ones that don't, don't leave marks on my skin. I'm pretty scared of needles so I'm really struggling with the injections particularly after i have a painful poke. Looking for advice. Why do some hurt? I have a lot of stretch marks/loose skin which I am doing mt best to avoid. Any alternative spots to try? Is it something else I am doing? Feeling pretty discouraged. I had a run of about 6 that didn't hurt but the last few have really stung.
