I did my second injection on Wednesday in my right thigh and within a few hours my right knee where I have osteoarthritis was very achy and I was having to limp around. Thursday morning my knee was somewhat swollen, achy, and stiff. It’s slightly better but not great on Sunday morning. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary prior to my injection. I haven’t had this type of arthritis pain and swelling in a long time.

I know most people have a reduction in inflammation but has anyone had a flare up after their shot? One of my main goals with taking zep is to reduce inflammation in my knee and this feels like a huge setback.
