is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 44

Questionbranch of 15 comments

is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 44, logged the same way every week so the comparison is at least internally fair. The pattern almost everyone here describes, written out once so it can be linked. A step up is followed by a rough window — commonly food noise arriving the day after the shot and…

How long after a step up did this start?

Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.

Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?

sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous

This is the shape almost everybody here describes, and it is the single most reassuring thing in the thread.

write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part

Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.

the constipation that arrives at week 12 out of nowhere is usually something else

the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and reflux is the toll for the first fortnight

Adding to this — holding the dose rather than stepping is the option people forget they have.

holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance

Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.

A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 10 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.

The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.

Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
