Is it going to be like this every time?
I got my first IM injection (self-administered, under doctor supervision), it's been almost a week now and my leg still hurts and I've had a couple of moments where the muscle feels a bit swollen... Is this normal? Will my body "get used to it" and stop reacting like this eventually?

Yeah, when I initially injected for the first few weeks it hurt for several days after each injection, but soon it started to only hurt for maybe a few hours, and then it's fine.
Edit: to clarify, I transitioned in the opposite direction, but I imagine IM injections would be similar.
Ah, thanks. That's good to know.
