Hi, I have gone through your question.
I would like to suggest you should consult doctor as early as possible. Dont panic, but dont neglect it also.
It can be related to the infection at the injection site. You have not mentioned about history of trauma at athat site. If its a infection you have to start on antibiotics as per doctors advise.
