I'm sorry to hear that the injection site is red and very painful. This could indicate an injection site reaction or possibly an infection, which needs prompt attention.
Here are some steps you can take immediately:
Since redness and severe pain after an injection can be signs of infection or inflammation requiring medical treatment, it is important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a doctor promptly. They can examine the site, possibly prescribe antibiotics or other treatments, and ensure proper healing of your leg fracture and injection site.
If you experience fever, spreading redness, or worsening pain, seek emergency medical care immediately.
