Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.

I think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
Staph infections can range from minor skin problems to life-threatening conditions, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, take a sample of the infected area, or order imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. If left untreated, staph infections can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads to your bloodstream.
