The hard spots your legs should go down over time, but you're probably going to have to wait a while. I usually change my sites every week, but to be honest I'd wait a couple of months before even thinking about going near your legs again.

If you're having trouble finding places to pinch, may I also suggest a shorter needle? A 5mm needle can usually be injected without a need to pinch up.
