I expected this to work right away (as in under 48 hours). I expected the swelling in my arm, forearm and hand to go down significantly but it didn't. It was very gradual over a period of 3 weeks and I still have swelling in my upper arm and my arm will be more swollen one day to the next. It has been very effective however in preventing another clot from occurring.

I have had lots of needles but this is one of the bluntest ones I've ever used. Especially when you have to have injections daily. Can the supplier provide better needles?
