What Causes A Painful Lump On A Epipen Shot Site?
I was stung by something not sure what didn't see it. I was pulling weeds in the yard. I had to use my epipen. It was on my upper thigh. It ended up turning bright red hard as a knot and whole top of thigh swollen. It has been 5 days from the sting and know it is purple the size of a softball . Is this normal?

Hello,
The possible reaction to Epipen shot is either poor absorption of the drug or else. Primary relief with ice application 3 times a day, later on if persistent has to consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
