Swelling and redness at the injection immediately after the injection is normal. Please apply an ice pack prior to the injection and a warm compress after the injection. Walking around and warming the medication in a bowl of warm water will also help with absorption. Please notify the office. The swelling and hard bumps persist for more than 24 hours after the injection.
