Hello @noe73

I am sorry to hear about the injection site lumps you are experiencing. You mentioned that you have been using the pump since November. Is this a new problem for you?

The lumps range in size from a pea to larger than a lima bean. These have acumulated since the start of using the pump. I have found accupunture helps to diminish the larger lumps. Applying castor oil with a warm compress
is a traditional remedy used to reduce inflammation, which I find helpful .
