I'm really worried because I've had 20 injections of dexamethasone, gentamycin, and deriphyllin in my buttocks over 5 days. Didn't feel any pain during the injections, but now, two days later, there's pain and these lumps have formed on both sides. Been using thromophob cream and taking Zerodol SP for 10 days, but the lumps and pain aren't going away. What should I do?
