Copaxone- depth?

Hi, I have just this week started copaxone. In my hips it seems fine, feels a bit like a bre sting for ten minutes or so but I can deal with that. The difficulty is with my thighs.

Pain at injection sites Copaxone

Hello, So I've been taking great care with where I'm injecting and rotate them not injecting in the same area more than once a week. Usually I'm lucky not to have any pain for days afterwards but the past three injection sites are very sore which makes having today's injection quite difficult. Not...

Stopping copaxone

I just thought I would post on here, not really sure why but I just need an outlet.

Just Started Copaxone - When Will The Stinging End?

I had my first injection of Copaxone on Friday morning and I was unprepared for the stinging that followed which lasted over an hour. I had my second one today and again the stinging was unbearable. Has anyone been on Copaxone injections? Did you have this experience? If so, how did you combat it?...

Copaxone

I was moved from Rebif to Copaxone and I'm struggling. I find the after part of the injection painful. The needle depth is set to 11, which is 1 off the highest, and I'm small (5ft 1, 8.3 stone) but I get a build up of the fluid, bruising and generally feels like I've been pushed in the stomach for ...

CIS patients, anybody is on Copaxone?

Hi there I just recently had an episode of optical neuritis. These conditions are considered to be a first sigh of MS. My doctor recommends Copaxone injections for 5 years. I am thinking. Is anybody there in the same situation or had similar issues?
