Yeah, you'll be fine. Just don't do that every week. I get a nice little red patch on my skin a couple days after the shot. Lasts about two weeks. Helps me pick a new location each week.

Exactly what I have, red, stubborn patches.

After the injection, I realized that 2 weeks in a row I injected in the same thigh. I hope it's not a big deal, just more bruising I guess?
