Symptom narrative

About two days after the injection the patient noticed some bruising and dark blood vessels near the injection site. The shoulder was tender, too. It looks somewhat like purpura but it continued to move down his arm over two weeks with bruising in the area as it moved down the arm. Two weeks out now and he reports his shoulder pain is gone and where the blood is darker under his skin it is tender as it moves down the arm.
