Can a hormone shot cause bruising? I normally take delestrogen 40mgs, but i took a mexican shot and found a very large unexplained bruise on the back of my leg. Im pretty clumbsy so i coulda just banged against something, but with a bruise that big, i would have remembered hurting myself.

any shot can cause a bruise, the needle may have went a bit deep into the muscle.. no need to worry

ANY TYPE OF INJECTION CAN CAUSE BRUISING AND IT SOMETIMES CAN BE A COMPLETELY PAINLESS BRUISE .... YOU MOST LIKELY HIT A BLOOD VESSEL OR A VEIN SO I WOULDN'T WORRY...JUST MAKE SURE YOU ASPIRATE YOUR PIN BEFORE INJECTING!....ESPECIALLY IF IT'S OIL BASED

I hate giving myself shots in the leg because it's like 50/50 that it will bruise and hurt.

Yup, it's probably just a little local bruising--quite common from injecting...I would keep an eye on it and if it proceeds as a bruise normally would, from the purplish to yellow- brown and then begin to fade over a week or so, then it's likey just that.

However if it remains a deep purple and especially if it becomes painful, swollen, tight or inflamed, or you notice any oedema (swelling) round your ankle or at the back of your knee, get it checked ASAP.
