A member asked:
Why does my left thigh hurts so much after i injected into it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Pain after an injection can be from the medicine injected. Some cause a lot of inflammation and pain. Other times there is a bruise if a blood vessel was hit; that can cause soreness. These causes usually resolve quickly as the medicine/blood is absorbed. A worse cause is if a nerve has been hit. That can hurt for awhile. Such pain usually radiates into other areas.
