Cortisone injection in ankle

I got a cortisone injection in my ankle last Friday due to inflammation in my ankle. I had ankle surgery over a year ago, and it still hurts. My ankle surgeon thought it was inflammation so he gave me a cortisone injection.

However, The cortisone injection site is dark colored with bruising around it. It does feel warm to the touch on the area where it is bruised. Should I be worried?
