Where to take Leuprolide infusion? Arm or stomach?

I just recently switched from monthly firmagon to 90 day Lupron shot. My options were butt or arm. I chose my arm. First shot was fine, second time, I couldn't lift my arm for 3 days. Overall, I feel much better on the Lupron so no problem.

Firmagon is different. The others are Leuprolides; Firmagon - though still being an injection - works differently.

The others are LHRH Agonists; Firmagon is an LHRH Antagonist (like Orgovyx). So, its administration compared to Lupron may be different (but similar to Eligard?).
