Sorry I am a bit late replying.
I did find that Taltz packed a bit of a sting to it. I always injected in the stomach (auto injector pen) I made sure to take out 20 minutes early or whatever the time was that was recommended by the doctor and at times I would have a red, slightly swollen area after injecting. I did not have that issue with Stelara (needle, injected in arm at doctor's each time) or Cosentyx (injector pen in stomach, self administered.) The nurse told me that a lot of people said the Taltz was a bit more painful than other injections. I didn't really consider it to be painful, there was an initial "ouch" with it and sometimes that lasted for a few minutes afterwards but had it worked for me, I would gladly have continued with the injections. I have not had much luck with totally clearing up my scalp psoriasis with any of the meds tried yet.
Oh, the nurse did say the stomach would be the easiest and probably less painful area to inject. I never tried injecting into my thighs.
