Fever,Pain,Little swelling at injection
I got operated for distal radius surgery on 1st June.
Before going to surgery I got injected at left ,right buttocks.
After the surgery I used antibiotics and painkillers.
I stopped taking pain killers by doctor advise.
But on 10 I got pain at my left buttock and swelling and fever come and go.
Applying ice and started to take pain killers again but pain ,not going and fever also going and coming.
