Auto injects cons?
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2024 2:07 pm
The recent post of “auto injects” submitted by DRJ made many good points (Pros) for using an Auto Injector. I am still having major issues with injecting on my left side. Yesterday, I actually started to bend the needle attempting to inject on that side. It just wouldn’t go in. I switched back over to the right, got the meds in and had a successful outcome.
I am seriously considering trying an auto injector, but have some fears about it. Since I feel pain sometimes while the needle is being inserted, I pull back and adjust the angle or spot and try again. I would believe with an auto injector, it’s a quick hit, pain or no pain.
Anyone ever use an auto injector and then go back to manual insertion for whatever reasons/bad experiences? If so, what were the reasons?
Thanks,
RJ
