I'm wondering if anyone else has managed to inject their Imitrex (autoinjector) into the bone by mistake.  I got tired of jabbing my legs (already take shots for something else too) and I've tried the belly but there wasn't quite enough cushion there to make it any better.

Finally tried my arm out of desperation and must've missed the meat, because the shot went in and got STUCK (painfully) in what I assume was the bone.  I'm assuming this because when I tried to pull it out, I had to tug, and then it got hooked in my skin.  When I finally yanked it out along with a bit of my flesh, it was definitely hooked at the end.   

Aside from a sore arm, I'm guessing no harm no foul.  But does anyone else think the autoinjectors are just a little too... forceful?  (I've tried disassembling and injecting myself per this site's instructions, but I usually need to dose around coworkers and that just looks weird.)  I guess it's time for syringes and gallon-sized vials.   

Oh, I should also have said that the Rx info that came with the Imitrex kit said that the upper, outer arm was one of the two acceptable injection sites (the other being the thigh).

I am taking DHE in the muscle. I like it a lot better. I didn't do well with imitrex and I also tried a few other things such as some nasal spray. The DHE has been the only thing that has worked for me.

I've taken ALOT of Imitrex injections & still will if I need to, but I find that the more Imitrex I take, the more Imitrex I NEED to take. I use DHE IM injections now to try and prevent the attacks when possible. It'll even stop most attacks but sometimes I still end up wishing I would've taken the Imitrex instead (for the "10's"). I take up to two 1mg IM injections per a day of DHE.

Remember not to mix the two meds though ! Be safe !
