Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Thigh

Posted on Mon, 22 May 2017

Question: Back in 2006, I was involved in a trial study at MD XXXXXXX They gave me injections in my thigh that activated my Thymus Glad and reduced my testosterone levels. In the two years prior, I had fought Stage 4 melanoma,. I noticed a week ago that at the location where the injections were administered, my thigh is swelling. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the trial study. The swelling is in my muscle, and seems a little warm to the touch.
