Cortisone shot in knee servere leg pain

Question

Asked for Female, 17 Years

I have had knee problems for three months and went to the doctor. They did a MRI and it was clear. They were worried it was a torn meniscus. The doctor I saw today told me I had an inflamed plica. He gave me a cortisone shot in the outside of my knee and a knee brace. This was at 9:00. It's now 1:35 am and my whole leg is swollen and hurts to move
