location of xolair injections

[Guest guest]

As I recall when I was trained on giving myself Xolair before the black box

label, I was shown to place the injections in the fatty tissue of the arms and

not in the muscle.  Are those of you who ae having issues with the injection

process itself asking that the syringe be placed in the fat of the upper arm and

not the muscle area?

In addition to the injecting be done slowly, I have found that if I get the

injections further back on my arm, they definitely hurt less. There are multiple

nurses that inject at my allergist's office. I just ask each time that they

inject slowly & near the back of my arm and explain that it hurts less that way.

I've found that they are usually happy to comply.
