Comment:
Started taking Lovenox twice a day after knee surgery to prevent clots. Only the first injection was difficult. (I just couldn't stab myself but now I've got my method down pat) Some hurt, some don't. Most result in long lasting deep purple brusies. About 30% give me a lump. I am OK with this medication and glad my use is short term.
