How long should i wait for injection swelling to go down
Before I make my way to a doctors office how long should I wait for swelling in injection site to go down? Last Thursday I injected shoulder and I have redness and warm area from shoulder down to bicep area with a hard lump in injection site. Since last Thursday it has gotten better but it still hurts when touched. Swelling is going down and has gotten better over the days. but not sure if I should wait it out or go get a shot or something. A guy at my gym who has a lot of cycles under his belt told me its happened to him about 4 times but never has went to the hospital. He told me to take some Advil to relieve pain and put heating pad on. Both of those things seemed to help a lot.
