When using Glatopa (generic form of Copaxone), does the pain and bruising at the injection site ever stop or is this my new normal? At first it wasn't too bad, but now I am not healing. I have bruises all over my legs, stomach, and back hips.

Thank you <3

@A MyMSTeam Member I just remembered a trick a friend taught me. She was diabetic and bruised easily. About a half-hour before you're going to do the shot put a tablespoon in a ziplock baggie and put it in the freezer. After you've done the shot, use the round part to rub on and around the injection site. The cold minimizes the bruising and numb any residual pain. I hope you find something that works for tuùùh u hhùj14⁴4 uh hh j jjljjlķ 1pm u

I used to take. Copaxone for a long,long time but then they came out with a pill that does the same thing. It's called Aubagio 14mg.tablet it's so much easier than doing the shots.

My opinion is that you are not injecting correctly. I recommended you get your nurse to show you how to inject correctly. I never had bruises. Good luck

As cynthia wrote fine tune the needle depth, i used to take copaxone and added or subtracted the depth to get a better result.
