What Causes Redness And Swelling At The Site Of The Steroid Shot?
I recently went to see my Dr concerning a back injury. I was given a steroid shot and pain meds. I have been in pain alll eek. The steroid shot only giving me about 24hrs of relief. My symthoms have been a severely burning pain on my right thigh and pain in my right hip which I thought was a possible pinched nerve. The pain continues down my right leg to my knee. I discovered tonight that the place I was given the steroid shot is reddened and swollen looks like I have two bug bites at that spot. Am I experiencing steroid poisoning?

What Causes Redness And Swelling At The Site Of The Steroid Shot?
Hi, The redness and swelling at the site of the shot indicate possible inflammation or early cellulitis via the shot. Local application of ice with anti-inflammatory medicines will cover it faster. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
