Had cortisone jab 4 days ago now arm is swollen warm and sore is this normal ?

Cortisone Shot: A cortisone shot into the patellar tendon is not indicated and my concern is that it is either infected of you have an infected overlying bursa. This is not normal and should be rechecked by the physician that gave you the "jab".
