Should get better.: With any type of trauma there are many events that can happen. Sometimes when the patient tenses up and the needle is put in, the muscles around the area tighten and spasm. It takes a few days for the spasm to dissipate. There are time when swelling develops, like any injury. Icing the area usually helps reduce the swelling. Occasionally a blood clot forms underneath the skin....
