Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Infections can occur as a result of injections.
They are normally associated with redness, increased warmth, tenderness and swelling.
It would be best to be seen by your doctor for assessment to rule out infection. This would require blood tests and imaging of the joints.
