Hello I am new to this forum. I am writing on behalf of my mother who has to inject insulin 5 times a day.
She is in pain each time despite trying smaller needles as suggested by her nurse.
Can anyone suggest any remedies to decrease the pain of an injection. She has tried injecting into her stomach but gets bruised really easy. She cannot easily inject herself into the arm so she tends to use the thighs.
We have looked into EMLA cream but that is not recommended for continued use?
Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
