Bicillin users,

Do the painful lumps from injections ever go completely away. Its been nearly a week since my first injection, and despite heat/massage and exercise the thickness of the bump and soreness continues.

Thanks for your feedback

The homeopathic remedy Ledum palustre (wild rosemary) is for lumps left after an injection or injury. It can be bought in a creme such as:
Boericke & Tafel Ssssting Stop Gel 1oz

https://www.amazon.com/Boericke-Tafel-Ssssting-Topical-Ounce/dp/B00016QU6G

Here's one by Hyland:
https://www.amazon.com/New-Hylands-Bite-Ointment-0-26/dp/B00Z22D396/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1475075349&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=itch+and+sting+of+insect+bites+ledum

or by itself:

Or just crush a homeopathic pellet and put it in 1/4 cup water, soak a cotton ball and put it on the site. Secure it somehow or even you can put some drops on a band-aide.

Or one can take the homeopathic orally 3-4 times a day.

Keep up with the massage, try for good deep massages whenever you get a spare moment. Do this until all twinges of soreness are gone and the lump is broken up.

That's what worked for me!
