I've recently got a painful hard lump on my buttock after an injection, and it's making it really tough for me to walk. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Hi, Im sorry youre in pain. A hard, painful lump after an injection could indicate inflammation or an abscess. Apply a warm compress to reduce pain and swelling, avoid pressure on the area, and consult a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment.
