A member asked:
I have had steroid injections on my leg for skin lesions 2 weeks ago and now am experiencing severe pain in the area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post steroid: It's recommended that you have a physician examine this area to check for abscess, hematoma, or early cellulitis. A nerve injury is unlikely as this type of injury from an injection usually shows up soon after the injection.
