A member asked:
After being discharged from the hospital after surgery, i developed a hard ball of skin on my forearm where a shot was given, why & what kind of shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forearm: There is no way to know what shot was given simply by the fact there was a reaction to it. On your forearm, it was more likely to be an iv insertion or blood draw as most injections are not given in the forearm generally. If it is not painful or red, give it time and it will probably resolve on its own.
