Knots after Lovenox shot

I have two huge bruises with knots under them after my Lovenox shots about three days ago.. They are not warm, but are sore. Does anyone have an idea on how to get them to go away faster? Do I need to call my Dr.? This is my first week on them so I have a while on the shots.

    When I was on lovanox and I gave myself the shots I would have the same issue. But when a nurse would do it the bruises didn't seem as bad.

    At almost 36 weeks my bruises and knots from heparin are huge. You kind of just have to roll with it. Sucks the worst when the ultrasound tech pushes hard in them!
