Hello there,
I'm saber uddin. I'm 21 years old. Two months ago i had a knee sprain from playing basketball. My knee was moderately swollen, it was also stiff and i was only able to bend my knee upto 90 degree. From a MRI diagnostics i found out that i had little tear on my ACL. After being on physical therapy for two months i was able to bend my knee more however my knee is still swollen, stiff and the pain is less. Moreover, yesterday my doctor injected depo-medrol on my infected joint. And today my knee is extremely swollen and stiff, more than ever. I can barely bend my knee to 90 degree.
My question, Is this swelling and stiffness normal after being injected with depo-medrol ? Or is this a side-effect ?
