What Causes Bump At Site After Intramuscular Injection?
After giving a shot intramuscular, theres a bump on the site immediately. There was a resistance when needle was inserted but no medication backflow after the shot. And no blood was aspirated prior to the injection. What was the cause of bump right after the injection?

Hi,
It seems that injection might be given superficial rather than deep intramuscular.
So injecting material might have caused irritation and swelling.
Apply ice pack application 2-3 times a day for few days.
Apply Thrombophob cream locally.
Ok and take care.
