If you're experiencing bruising from using a pen, it might be due to the excessive pressure you're applying. For those with rheumatoid arthritis or hand pain, consider switching to a pen with a wider grip and smooth ink flow, like a gel pen. This reduces strain and pressure on your hands. You can also try lightweight pens with built-up grips for added comfort.

Due to my insurance, I had to switch from the Humira injector to the Hadlima injector. The Humira pen was much easier to use. The pressure needed for the Hadlima injector to activate is excessive.
