A member asked:

Is it normal to have bruising after an ulnar nerve elbow ultrasound using a needle and cortisone injection?

Yes: A small amount of bleeding under the skin after injection is not unusual, especially if you have been taking anti-inflammatory medicines, which have some minor blood thinning side effects.
