Quit HT once due to pain. Back on it, no choice. Iget a shot every 28 days. Usually abdomen is sore, red and swollen for around 10 days. Anyhow Dr. Gave me a script for Lidocaine. I rubit on theinjection site and cover it with saran wrap so it does not rub off. Helps alot with the shot.
After the shot I apply it to the site for the pain. WORKS!! It will kill the pain.

Those of you experiencing pain might want to talk to your Dr. About this.
