I just got 2 shots yesterday…?

Yesterday I got 2 shots in my right arm and the pain is horrible! I barely touch my arm and i can feel exceeding pain. The pain has spread from the injection sites to below my arm pit and mostly around the whole arm (muscle, etc) I feel this might be some kind of allergic reaction because I got a tetanus shot on my left arm, and it just hurts when i apply pressure to the injection spot.

Is this normal and go away?

Or should I get another appointment for this?

Answer:
Anticipate the pain to last about 2-3 days or even for up to a week. (the 2nd day is always the worst.) That is absolutely normal. You probably have a hard time even lifting a glass of water I'm sure. Taking Tylenol will help the pain. Serious allergic reactions with this shot are very rare. They include; rash, itching, swelling, dizziness and trouble breathing. Call your physician though if you do experience any of those problems. Also a good tip isn’t to “baby” the arm try to keep it moving even a tiny if you can. This will speed up the healing process for the muscle that was injected.

Answer:
Sometimes it's the medicine that is injected that hurts, it takes time for the muscle to absorb it. The person injects it too fast sometimes. Give it a couple of days , try ice and massage it gently. See if it helps
