Honestly having had a shot in the stomach before its not that bad. It sounds terrible but you can barely feel it. Its not a high nerve area

Yeah, I spent a couple of months in the hospital a few years ago. Tiny little auto-injector. Can barely feel it.

Make sure to brush up on your pharmacology before you get admitted to the hospital.

Does the patient get to pick which spot?
They let me pick. I tried the arm but the stomach is less painful.

So it sounds like the choice of belly is just for convenience and the injection could be given in the butt or elsewhere.


It’s only given subcutaneous in the fat like insulin, not into the muscle. That’s why they use the abdomen. Hospitals get penalized if a patient gets a dvt after surgery or hospitalization, plus potential law suits. I was recently in hospital for 2 nights but they didn’t give it to me, just baby aspirin. Maybe because I’m younger and low risk and could move around some

Did you really just compare a drug therapy that has been around nearly a hundred years to the highly political, emergency use vaccine?

Holy shite.

Yikes. I sure as hell wouldn’t if I were admitted for any non-hemorrhagic event, for what it is worth.

They're known to be safe.
Except for infants in NICU at certain hospitals where the nurses complained they couldn't read the labels. Of course with infants, especially NICU ones, they are so tiny it's easy to overdose them with everything.

I've had 2 major orthopedic surgeries in the last 12 months, both which required bed rest for 1-2 weeks.
I also had pins installed to stabilize my SI joint in my pelvis about 5 years ago and had to lay in bed for a month.
I've never been given a clot preventative.

I took the shot once, burned like hell, since I was constantly walking the halls of the hospital I saw no point in it and refused it from that point on.

Lovenox isn't a new thing, they have been doing it for a long time. They want everyone staying in the hospital to take it.
