I took vitcofal 2cc injection yesterday on my buttocks and have also been advised by my Dr.to take Cap.RejunexOD once a day for four months.Injection is to be taken once a week for five weeks.This was due to my B12 recording 138.Pain in the buttock still exists and there is a fear of taking the medicines. Pl. advise.
Dear patient Post injection pain in your buttocks is common and is due to mild inflammation. It subsides within two to three days. You should apply ice packs at local site of pain. You can take tab ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day for pain relief. But if there is redness at buttock with fever infection is possibility and In that case visit to you physician is recommended. If you don't want to take injection oral medications are also available. Only it takes longer time to correct vitamin b12 deficiency. Thanks.
