what's happening is you're likely developing scar tissue if you're injecting in the same place every time, make sure to switch legs each week and don't inject in the exact same place each time

maybe it's IM in general? like you know it's going to hurt so you're anticipating it hurting, which makes the hurt seem more prominent? or E is changing your skin already. do they do subq injections with E? that's what I'm on for t and it's much less intimidating for me
