A member asked:
A lump is produced after injecting 3 ml of diclofenac in deltoid region to a female patient of age 45 due to dismenorrhea. what should i do now?

There is: not a great deal you can do now as it doesn't sound like it was injected into the muscle but rather the subcutaneous area. Use cold compresses and have only someone with experience with medication injection do this. Significant damage can be done by the unwary.
