DO NOT DO THIS... Bad idea! I've been on Plegridy for nearly 3 years and my butt was an injection site. I've had inflammation in my right leg recently and I never thought twice about it until I quit using my butt as an injection site and the inflammation went away. Also, I have a bruise on my butt that appeared about two weeks after my last butt injection. I still have the bruise and it hurts to even sit down on it. My last butt injection was about a month ago. I called my neurologist and she told me what to do. I never knew any different because my butt was an instructed injection site I frequently used when I was on Rebif. I was taught this and was never corrected when I was placed on Plegridy, but in the instructions for Plegridy it doesn't say the butt is a recommended injection site. To make a long story short I don't recommend injecting Plegridy in your butt cheek.

@A MyMSTeam Member It is subQ. Good--I think I'll add my butt area into the rotation. That area is "fleshier" than my arms :)

A MyMSTea...

Is pleurisy subcutaneous? If so then you should be able to inject in butt area as well. I rotate between thigh, stomach and butt. I have red spots too, but I call them my leopard spots :)

Thank you.
