alternative injection sites

wondering if anyone knows what the alternative injection sites are.  I am on daily shots of copaxone, and I cannot reach the back hip area with the way my hands are - which is lousy.

The deal with the injection sites is the FDA requires SS to tell people to do it exactly as it was done in the clinical trials to the letter. Your Doctor or if he has an MS Certified Nurse they can advise you of alternatives. I went to my Doctor and his nurse gave me alternatives. each of us is different needs.

As far as the hips my husband gave me those injections. It made him feel good to be apart of my therapy.

Hi crwriter, it's good to see you here.  If I knew the solution, I would definitely share it with you.  SS won't share that information with you.... you have to talk to your doctor.    

Perhaps they can help you by phone.

good luck,
Lulu
