What Causes Painful Leg Post Steroidal Injection?

My 10 year old has poison ivy over the summer. He had to get a steroid shot to clear it up. He chose to get a steroid shot in his upper thigh. Since the shot he has a dent in his thigh. At first it only hurt at the infection site. Now his whole leg bothers him. What could it be?

Hi dear,
This may indicate ongoing or spreading infection. A local examination or at least a picture will help us in diagnosis.
Kindly see your doctor for evaluation.
Thank you.
