That sounds frightening, Spike. I wonder if the shorter, thinner pen needles now have reduced the risk of that happening because I haven't had any problems with this and use my legs almost exclusively (except in the summer when my upper arms are available because I am wearing T-shirts).

My doctor actually said that with the needle I am using, I can inject anywhere and it will be absorbed, but I haven't messed with non-traditional sites for the most part (I have used my arm between my elbow and wrist, but she said I could even use my hand!!).
