Worth separating two things that post #12 runs together.
Nobody has said the unglamorous part of injection-site reactions yet, so: most of the variation is explained by things that are boring to write about and easy to check.

Injection-site reactions: describing them precisely enough to be useful
This is a generated summary. It shows the 9 most-liked posts from a topic of 87, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
Adding the measurement that post #22 says would settle it.
On injection-site reactions: the maintained page in the documentation commons covers the general case with citations and a review date, which is more reliable than any reply here including this one.

Adding the boring version of injection-site reactions, because the interesting version keeps getting posted and the boring one is usually right.
Check the ordinary explanations, in order, and stop when one of them accounts for what you are seeing. Most of the time the second one does.

The published rates come from populations that were titrated on a defined schedule with clinical supervision. Rates from a forum are not comparable and are biased by who chooses to post.
Not a conclusion. A place to stand while looking for one.

m.malinowski, post #4: Vomiting: when it is expected (first-dose reactions or early titration) and when it is a reason to stop and seek help are different. Occasional vomiting during titration is ordinary. Persistent vomiting or vomiting of a new character later in treatment warrants contact with your clinician. Go to post
Everything in post #40 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.
Second-hand on injection-site reactions, so weight it accordingly — someone whose method I trust told me this and I have not verified it myself.
Post #66 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.
The claim about injection-site reactions upthread is stronger than its source supports. I have read the source. The source says "associated with" and the post says "causes".
