What happens when you get a dexamethasone injection and they miss the muscle what are the symptons and the effects?

If a dexamethasone injection misses the muscle and is administered into the surrounding tissue, it can lead to localized pain, swelling, and potential atrophy of the tissue. The medication may not be absorbed effectively, reducing its therapeutic effect. In some cases, it could also cause skin changes, such as thinning or discoloration. Overall, the intended anti-inflammatory benefits may be diminished, and additional medical attention may be required.
