Pain at Imitrex injection site?

Hi All,

I have trouble with pain while injecting the Imitrex. Actually, I don't inject it myself because I fear I'll pull the needle away too soon. It's a sharp, burning sensation during the injection. Shots don't bother me at all usually, so it's not the shot in and of itself. It must be the drug or how it's being injected. I clean the spot before injecting with alcohol.

What am I doing wrong? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Michelle
