Hi, Three weeks ago I had a cortisone shot to help with a tendinites problem, a few days later I noticed a slightly swollen area above my right hand side collar bone, it is soft and painless, could this be related to the cortisone infiltration or not? Thank you
Hi Steroids reduce inflammation and swelling. It is unlikely to cause swelling. Any swollen lymph node or abscess should be ruled out. Any history of fever should be ruled out. Visit your physician immediately in case of increased swelling or redness or fever. Hope that was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards Chat Doctor.
