Pain after subq injections

[stickersteve]

I have been doing injections for a few weeks now. I started with IM but hit a nerve in my thigh and the doc said I can switch to subq. I am using smaller 25 guage 5/8" syringes for the sub q and I still get pain in the injection area for the next could days after injecting. Thy suggested doing the thigh or upper arm. most of the youtube videos I watched show doing in the stomach but the doc said thigh and upper arm are best for subq. while the pain is not as bad as hitting the nerve with IM it is just a little inconvenient. If I have to live with it I can but I have seen other posts that say I should have no pain after.

Could it be the oil causing the pain?

Some muscle soreness isn't unusual, I would rotate sites.
