Question : Hello, i've gotten sick 3 times in the course of two months and to treat my symptoms everytime, The doctor would give me more than one antibiotic injection in both sides of my buttocks, i noticed that a sharp pain is developing in my left cheek and i am concerned it might be mixing with the silicone i injected a few years ago, it might be that it is irritated because ive been injected with antibiotics for my flu and sore throats way too many times in the same place, but i am afraid it has something to do with the silicone injections, whenever i stretch or jump or sit on it i feel a very sharp pain more than a regular bruise and the pain is definately inside and not on the skin
