Inject sight for Lovenox

Can it be done on the butt? I am bruising so badly from this and was hoping maybe there was another way

Re: Inject sight for Lovenox

Different doctors say different things. Dr b told me my entire belly, from love handle to love handle or upper thigh. I never had the nerve to try upper thigh but moving it around my belly helped.

I was told the belly from he belly button down and from love handle to love handle.... I start on one side and work my way across to the other then go back to where i started.

ETA: if i do it too far on the side i get back pain though. SO i try to stick with the front rather than getting too close to the love handles.

when i was in the hospital they did the inject in the fatty part of the outside of my my upper thigh, although at that point it was heparin and not lovenox.

I was told belly and love handles too.

I had the best luck with the love handles...didn't hurt at all and bruised much less.

good luck
