Just curious. I am new to this Copaxone stuff. I have injected my thighs this week, and both sites now have bruises the size of my palms! Is this a normal reaction?
I have other smaller bruises that have happened on other sites, and they still stick around (2 weeks now) but, these huge bruises have me concerned that I may be doing something wrong? Or is this a normal reaction?
Anyone out there have this?

I've been on copax for about a year now, I don't inject my thighs, I do get huge bruises as well that takes almost a week to heal.
I know you're not supposed to massage the site but I found out it helps with the welts/ bumps by putting pressure on the injection site right after injecting.
Also, taking Benadryl twice a week can help.
I like to stay on copax for as long as I can despite all the skin reactions as the reaction from other drugs could be more serious.
