Hello,
I have studied your case.
It can be injection site infection.
You need to watch for fever and swelling,you can consult your treating doctor if symptoms aggravate.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

Dear Friend. .
By self injecting intravenous injections , you might have developed thrombophlebitis which can result in swelling locally and fever too.
It can be treated by using local dressings like Sumag dressings or applying thrombophobe ointments
if very severe , antibiotics may be required.
Other possibility which is common and should be suspected in persons who self inject intravenously is of Infective Endocarditis , which can destroy your heart valves.
I advice you consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. And please stop all these activities
