Just learning where to post things on this site :) Already posted this in a group and now trying the forum too...I read some past posts but nothing quite answered my questions...
Does anyone do gentle massage or “skin brushing” techniques to prevent scar tissue from forming after removing a pod or infusion site? Are there any other techniques you use (besides site rotation and Ultrasound) to prevent or reduce scar tissue?
I am very petite, but muscular, with very little fat, so I don’t have a lot of places that I can place my pod. I tried the fatest part of my thigh and still hit muscle recently, owww! Also, my abdomen and love handles are off limits from years of injections and low absorption now. I’m having to reuse the same sites on my arms and butt more often than I’d like so I'd like to prevent/reduce any scar tissue as long as I can.
Also, when I was doing MDI, my former doctor told me NEVER to rub an injection site immediately after injecting. Does anyone know why this would be?? I tend to massage a site immediately after removing the pod, which is the same concept...
