Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, steroid injection can cause similar symptoms. But more than steroid injection, faulty technique of intramuscular injection appears more in your case. If injection was not given properly,there are high chances of nerve damage and cellulitis. So better to first rule out cellulitis at injection site. So consult doctor and get done clinical examination of injection site.
