Yup, heparin (I think it is) abdominally. Had them daily after the  
knees. While in the UK, I reported a swollen ankle to the local GP  
and he sent me up to the Accy (Accident and Emergency) straightaway  
to check for DVT's. While I was waiting for the ultrasound a few days  
later, they gave me those to self-inject. It's easy - fine needle.  
But spectacular bruising until you get the hang of it.
