I received a steriod injection 2 weeks ago. since then, i have been in intermittent pain and have severe swelling at injection site. what is wrong?

Have it checked: Could be an infection locally, or a fluid collection (the medicine carrier was not properly absorbed), or possibly a local reaction. All should be evaluated by a dr.
