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.
