Hi all...
When I first started my copaxone shots about 6 months ago, the pain was from the MEDICINE- now the pain is mainly from the injection..... Could my husband be pushing too hard when he injects me? Would that make a difference?

@A MyMSTeam Member I am sorry to hear that! I am glad you are sticking it out until you find something that works, I pray you will find a medication that works for you and the pain stops!

@A MyMSTeam Member don't stop your meds... The pain is worth not having the relapses as often

Do you communicate with Shared Solutions? They are a group from the Copaxone people and they are wonderful. They staff 24 hr nurses, all kinds of advice and helpful tools. Warm compress for a few minutes prior, then ice after. It helps to numb. I thought it might be the 40mg vs the 20mg but after I changed the setting on my auto-injector, I am thinking it was just coincidence.

@A MyMSTeam Member. I am not. Have 1 month of teferdera. Trying to find something that works for me. All of the pain that i have had since on teferdera, is not nessery..non stop , MS symptoms. I have came to the conclusion that this is not working for me either.

@A MyMSTeam Member. I did. It did not seem to matter to them. Called many times. Then, stopped it all.
