What Causes Lumps In Abdominal Area After Injecting Lovenox?
Question Preview
I inject Lovenox twice a day and expected bruising but now I've developed some lumps in my abdominal
area. One is the size of a walnut and others are as small as a pea. My skins is a little itchy too. Does anyone know why? What can I do for this. I've been applying warm compresses but not noticing a change yet

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,In My opinion You should Get opinion of your doctor who prescribed Lovenox immediately and review its doses with INR.
Cause of the lump could be-bruise / or a fibrotic granuloma or/ could be resolved hematomas with fibrosis caused -by needle post injection.
or could be by disturbed INR status causing more post-injection hematomas at the injection sites.
Remedy-
Enough Rest and Sleep to avoid re-infection
Tranquilizers to reduce the Mental and physical stress
Antibiotics to treat infection if any.
Emolients
Anti-inflmmatory
Anti-Histaminic
Good Diet/ Enough Fluids/ and Vitamins to boost your immunity.
Hope this reply would help you
