Had a steroid injection in wrist for tfcc tear a wk ago and now running a fever. area doesn't look or feel infected. is fever related or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the area is not : Red hot psiful swollen or otherwise symptomatic it is probably not related . However you should learn why you have a fever so if it persists especially with flu season upon us and you are getting symptoms then speak to your doctor.
