@bkour Yes, there is a good reason for injecting into the stomach/abdominal area rather than the thigh. The injections are meant to be subcutaneous—just under the skin layers and not into muscle. For most of us, the abdomen is perfect because the skin and fat are loose enough to be pinched up, thus making a perfect injection site. Yes, you can use the thigh as long as the skin can easily be pinched up. The medication should NOT go into the muscle! And, also, you want a wider area to choose an injection site. The thigh really isn’t suitable.
Are you having concerns about injecting into your abdomen?

@bkour The clinical educator at Tymlos and my doctor both said that Tymlos should be in the belly area. I think @becsbuddy explains why very well.

What side effects that would occur in your belly but not in your thigh are you concerned about? I have had no problem with the injections, I started doing them in March. Initially I had little nausea afterward, perhaps something else, I really can't remember but whatever my side effects were they were extremely mild and dissipated quickly.
