PIO Welts?

I woke up this morning to find a welt where we did my PIO injection last night. It is huge, red, and itches like crazy. Has anyone else gotten one of these before? I am not sure what caused it. I have been on PIO for almost a month now, and it wasn't a new vial so I can't be allergic all of a sudden. Anyone got ideas?

    I used to get them once in a while. I always thought it was just a "bad shot." Like maybe dh hit a tough spot or something. I got them less often when I was really good abot leaving heat on the injection site for a while after the shot. It's not unheard of to develop an allergy to the oil after you have been on the PIO for a while. If you keep getting them consistently I would call the RE and ask for a different type of oil. I am so happy for you :)

    Oy, I had no clue you could develop an allergy after being on it for so long. I will have to call my nurse today.

    Welts from shots are the worst. I hope you can find something that doesn't irritate you.
