[quote=Anonymous]I hate these shots. I find them so painful and I bruise easily even without the blood thinner. I use a 5% Lidocaine topical numbing gel for an hour before injection, then ice for 5 minutes before injection, then ice for as long as possible after the injection (I do it before bed, so I go to sleep with the icepack). My spouse injects me while I am laying down with my eyes closed listening to a podcast and he goes real slow. The Lidocaine has made a huge difference, though it has let me get lazy about icing which results in bruises.[/quote]
