Painful Kevzara Injection

I got my first one the dsy before yesterday. The good advise on this thread helped, I think.
No pain at all.
I took the Kevzara out of the refrigerator, 30 minutes before I left, put it (the preloaded pen dispenser) in my arm pit under my shirt. I drove 45 minutes to my doctor’s office. She watched as I did my first injection. I pinched an inch of belly fat, 4 inches away from my navel and injected. I felt zero pain. Nothing.
Perhaps its temperature was very close to my body temperature and the reason for no pain.
Just thinking out loud. Hope this helps. You all hepled me think up this method.
I hope your experience goes better next time.

@stonewheel I do the same ... "I pinched an inch of belly fat, 4 inches away from my navel and injected."I feel localized pain as the kevzara enters my body but it goes away very quickly after the injection... No other issues with the injection... I think the secret is to inject into your body fat...
