I once injected into some scar tissue from csections...ouch!  The darn thing was as big as a dinner plate...and lasted about eight weeks.

My only ideas are icing after injecting.  I always would massage the area before bed at the injection site.  I always took the shots in the morning because I swear they kept me awake.  

I hope this helps a bit.

Hey Mo,

Darn - sorry to see you are still having problems. Has the doc physically looked at the sites?
