Hi @traclynne I am sorry that your injections were painful. I have never had any problems with pain on injection, I get them in the same location as yours on my right side. The only time I had an issue was when I started to come out of the sedation at the last two and they hurt like heck! I made sure my doctor knew and have not had any issues again. I know that a lot of people say they do not get any relief from injections but for me they work extremely well and relieve my pain for a good 8 months. I hope that you will find the relief you are looking for.
