A member asked:
I have a dark circular bruise on my left arm and my whole upper arm is sore after an injection, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can happen: Dark circular bruise is most likely due to small amount of blood that seeps under the skin after the injection;normally your entire arm should not be swollen or sore, but on occasion it does happen, sometimes cellulitis of the site of injection can occur, contact your doctor for further evaluation.
