How long do the small knots from a copaxone injection typically last?

My copaxone injection knots varied in time they hung around but usually 2-3 weeks. Didn't hurt just looked ugly.

I'll have to tell my daughter that ,she would get a kick out of the Macarena deal that's good thinking with that one

Couldn't be more thorough with the sites. I record them on an app. For Copaxone, I also log them in a book, I write the spot # so I never have a chance to double up on it.

I get painful lumps too and my daughter who is a RN rotates the sights from hips to arms and she's very gentle just the meds from the shots really burn,itch, and get lumpy for a few days

I do rotate as well. I'm very careful and follow a strict rotation chart. My next appt isn't until November... Guess we can discuss it then.
