The cortisone injection site on my ankle got bigger it seems and it is still discolored. The bruising is still around it and there is also bruising to the right of it. It is still painful. Should I have my doctor look at this?

Thank you for replying. My ankle is still sore from the cortisone injection. The injection site is still discolored and large. There is still bruising around it and to the right of it. This had been over two weeks now. I am worried! What should I do?

Thank you for replying. I did call last week and talked to the nurse and she talked to the physicians assistant and he just prescribed prescription pain pills which gave me wicked headaches and had to stop taken them. I was so upset that he didn't take the time to look at the injection site.

The doctor who gave me the injection was a physicians assistant. This was the same doctor I saw a couple of weeks post op. after I had ankle surgery over a year ago. This wasn't the same ankle surgeon I had during my surgery, who gave me the injection almost three weeks ago.

Should I call my regular doctor? PCP?

That injection in my ankle is bothering me alot. It had been almost three weeks and the injection site is still big and discolored. There is still bruising around the site and to the right of the site. How would I know if it was infected or not?

Any adivce would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
