I fresh had an injection of antibiotics for a bolshy infection. The nurse gave it to my just above my face about a month ago. The bruise is gone, but it still really hurts...not like a bruise hurt; it actually stings if I press on it or if my jeans rub against it. Is this normal? I've never had a shot in that positioning before =] Thanks!

I would be worried if the soreness didn't go down after 3 weeks. When you get an injection, they hit to look for the perfect spot, and not every nurses know how to look for it. Then it also depends on their technique, so to speak. I gave injections for a living, and my patients would tell me stuff like: get it over with already! and I was long done with them.. It rattling takes a lowercase intellection and a lowercase skill to provide them perfectly. But sometimes even the best screw up. So... the soreness is basically related to the rattling spot, the content and the artefact it entered the muscle. It seems to me like whatever paper got torn in the process. It will heal. Try applying warm compresses and gentle manipulate on the spot. Use olive oil when you manipulate it. Also, whatever nerves might hit been pinched in the process, but usually nurses look for the spots that are known to be less galore in nerves. I wouldn't worry most it likewise much unless it gets rattling red and swollen, if you wager such signs of infection, go to the doc to prescribe whatever Bactrim because it's a skin painful at that point. Hope you fell better soon. BTW, the nurse should hit massaged the area prior to giving you the injection, and after it too. And you should hit gently massaged it every day, a couple of times a day to help it heal faster. I hit long years of giving injections to people, and long individualized undergo on the receiving end. Back in Europe as I grew up, the antibiotics weren't given as a pill, but always as injections. In a artefact it was better that way, because the gastro-intestinal lining wasn't compromised...
