Sandy - Where are you injecting yourself? Are you injecting yourself around your waist or in your thighs? Are you pinching a fold of skin at your waist or thigh before you inject yourself? Are you changing the injection site each day? Every once in a while when I inject myself it feels like it is burning as I inject the medication but not each time. Most of the time I have not gotten a good pinch on the fold of skin before injecting myself.
