Q: Dents In Skin From Copaxone
asked by: Andria on April 20th, 2007

I've noticed small dents in my legs and stomach, which don't bother me but I recently got a huge one in my arm.

I don't care about the cosmetic part, but are these dents dangerous to my health?

Also, the places I take my shot are pretty much hard now, is this ok? Again I could careless about cosmetics, I just want to make sure none of this is dangerous to my health.

The Copaxone has kept me flare up free for four years now and I don't want to get it off it..

dents in skin and a silly poem thaqt helps me rotate my shots
I have taken Copaxone for 10 years. Once there was a hard bump and my DR. did a biopsy. It was scar tissue because I had not rotated =my injections properly. Now I am religious about this! I even came up with a dumb reminder system to help me remember:


Sunday is "funday" This is my favorite place to take me shot. (for me this is stomach-because it's numb!)
Monday is dumbday (this is where I gave my shot and had the biopsy)
Tuesday is "Bruiseday" for me this is my leg
Wednesday is Friendsday" This is a place I can't get to easily, and someone has to give me my shot
Friday is My Day=my other favortie place

Saturday is "Sat" day-yep, my butt!

dents from copaxone
Is because you have broken down the fatty tissue or muscle that is in those spots from over using the same place over, & over & over, its not good, i have a few on the side of my thighs. But you should stop using that spot were the fatty area is no longer their cause it is broken down & yes it will become hard after use. You need to stay out of that spot totally, it is not healthy for your skin or body.
