Was injected with steriod and ladcaine in my shoulder due to severe pain. This was not my first injection but this time a big wept popped up and it is real sore. Just would like to know why and if this is normal and should I do anything about it?

Hello Zeke2011 and thanks for posting today!

I'm sorry to hear about your should and the problems with the injection. I'd encourage you to call your doctor's office and ask them if what you experienced is normal, or if you should come in and get checked out. It is important that your doctor know about it in case it is an allergic reaction or something else happening.

Let us know what you find out,

Byroney
