Hi sir this is uday. Last 1 week back I did get injection from private medical practitioner for some pain. I don't see he do change syringe and needle. After complete injection I asked to him are you changed to new syringe he said yes I did it. But I can't believe to him. I did get injection near my waist site. The injection name is intramuscular injection. Can I get any chance an infection through injection?

Its depend on that if needle is contaminated before use.

If it was reused then yes, infection can occur. The only way to confirm is to take the tests for the infections like hepatitis b and hiv etc.

Now a days docs usually changes synriges from patient to patient, but as you have'nt seen he did changed or not, it scares you a little bit intramuscular is not an injection but its given to muscles not in veins. Check if you got any symptoms of fever rashes or pain in the next 1- 2 months, then consult immediately with another doctor.
