Thanks everyone. I will politely make my request to inject slowly.

Kathy, they did inject further back this time so maybe this is why it didnt

This nurse did say she isnt there all the time but when she is , it is on

Friday so I made the appointment for Friday in the hopes she will be

there. (fingers crossed : -) jean
