I had two injections, hep A and typhoid, done 3 weeks ago which came up in a bruise, swelling and was very sore. The swelling went down in about 3 days and the soreness became less severe after about 4 days. However, now it's 3 weeks on and there is still a bruise which looks the same as when i had it done plus there is still some soreness if its touched or i lie on it. Should I be concerned? Just to add: i don't bruise very easily at all

    This happens with the TB injection, pain should go after some time, but the bruise might be with you for life.
