I’ve been on octreotide injections for 5 months now I receive 2 shots monthly. The first time sore at the injection sites ( one on each hip ) the second time I was sore for about 2 weeks, The 3rd time sore for about 1 day.. I now request the same nurse every time and I only experience soreness at the injection site for about a day.. I hope it gets better for your mom..

Thanks @vinnie694 for responding, actually in her case the pain subsidies from the injection side in a couple of days only but after that it spreads to the leg and stays there for a couple of weeks. Hope that as was in your case, her pain also reduce from the subsequent dose onwards!

Vinnie:
Interesting response -
Question:
Where are your injections being done such that you can request the same nurse?

Thanks,
