What Causes Redness Around The Injection Site After Receiving Steroid Shot?
Hello. I had a steroid shot in my elbow about 3 months ago. (1st & only steroid shot for tennis elbow) Every since, my injection site still to this day has clear fluid coming out and has redness around injection site. The arm seems to be getting a little stiffness with just a little pain coming back like when I had before the injection. Is it common for the site to leak and the skin to loose color around injection site?
