I have been on copaxone since november 2008.
i am currently experiencing lumps on all my injection sites that are extremely slow in going away which creates anxiety and problems.
how can i get these lumps to go away faster so i can rotate again?

I did Copaxone for a while and finally quit, one reason being those lumps.

Do you rotate your injection sites? Or do you rotate and when you get back to let's say your stomach area...do you inject in the same injection site?

I was told within 24 hours of an injection to go back and gently massage the last injection site and that would help minimize lumps...didn't work for me.
