I finished getting Makena injections last week...  21 in all, tomorrow I'll be 38 weeks...  My first child was born at 25 weeks, so, for me, it worked....

Sometimes I got some irritation at the injection site...  Sometimes it was itchy, sometimes it burned, sometimes there was a little knot under my skin (as you describe), someone's there was no reaction at all.
