Discussions tagged “self-injections”

I was recently prescribed Enoxaparin 100mg/1ml for blood clots and have been doing self-injections in my stomach area as instructed. I'm trying to understand and manage some side effects that have come up. I've had some bruising and irritation at the injection site, but I'm more concerned about feeling constantly tired and weak. I've also noticed some swelling in my arms. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues? I want to talk to my doctor, but I'd like to be informed in the meantime. This seems like a great thread to discuss side effects. If you're taking this medication, I'd love to hear about your experiences. Here is the link to the FDA for reporting any side effects I experience: https://www.fda.gov/medwatch.
