Increase pain after intra joint injection is little worrisome. Please inform if ur knee s swollen, warm on touch n painful in most of attempted movements. If yes u shd consult to rule out some sort of infection.
Please avoid taking intra joint injections in future.
Next Steps
Please visit hospital for examination and blood tests to rule out infection
