Answers:
I had the same - especially after the tetanus, omg! lol!. the nurse told me that the injection sometimes bruises your muscle, but it'll go away soon!. If it doesn't though you should see the doctor, but more often than not it's perfectly fine

because you just muscled alot of fluid, it will be a little tender for a few days!. Totally normal!. If it swells or really starts to hurt see a Dr!. If it was interveinous, it would just flow through your blood stream, but most vaccines are done in a muscle, where the fluid just pools and then slowly absorbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because most medications made for injection are also mixed with a form of alcohol in order to dissolve the medication in order to make it an injection medication!. The pain will subside but the pain is very typical!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my arm hurt after the meningitis vaccine too,
you might feel this way for a good few days!.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if the pain continues for longer than a week,
i'd go see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a normal response after having any vaccination done whether is be intramuscular or subcutaneous!.
Take a little acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the discomfort!. If you experience any other symptoms, please see you GP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's going to hurt because they put a piece of the vaccination in, like your body is fighting against it, and also the needle caused swelling and heaviness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's very typical after any shot to be sore because they're injecting a needle and pushing fluid into your arm!Www@Answer-Health@Com

cuz the shots are delivered through the blood in your arm muscles!. it will fade within 2-3 days, maybe sooner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
