It is common to experience mild discomfort after a diclofenac injection, but severe pain and tightness require attention. First, apply a cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the area for 10-15 minutes to reduce inflammation. Avoid massaging or rubbing the injection site, and keep the area rested. While this is often a temporary reaction, please consult your healthcare provider if the pain worsens, or if you notice signs of infection like spreading redness, warmth, pus, or if you develop a fever. A quick evaluation will ensure everything heals safely.
