" Now will these areas also develop hard spots over time and continual use? And about how often should I switch areas? How long should I give my legs before I use those spots again? And last, will those hard spots, in my legs, go down any, or will they always be there? "

I've got hard spots in my legs that have never gone away, & my arms are pretty wrecked as well. (I've been doing it for a looong time)
A good way to rotate is to move along in a line say 1cm apart over the area & then start the next row 1cm up & do the same thing. That way you can make an area last quite a while. while the previous ones have a rest.

This might sound a bit obsessive at first, but if you multiply the no of shots per day, by the number of days you intend living, you'll soon figure out why it's neccessary! I intend living till at least 95, so good maintenance is important.
