Ive never recovered from elbow steroid injections im very swelled up but the mri showed nothing was wrong , what can i do , im in agony dr , thank you?

Epicondylitis: Injections in themselves create an inflammatory response at the site. I think you just have this - given the swelling and pain that is still there. The steroid is supposed to reduce this as well as help the underlying issue. It would be good to know the time since the injection.
