I got a tetna shot 2 days ago. My arm is still killing me. Is this normal??

Question

I can't lift my arm up over my head, even to shave my armpits. I can't lay on that arm. Nothing. It hurts. So is this normal???

Answer 1

YES!!!! I have had about 2 tetnus shots and there is nothing that hurts worse. For the week after you get it your arm will be very sore and tender and yes it will even be hard to raise your arm. It will slowly get better but the tenderness should not last more than a week!! Hope this helps...

Answer 2

Tetanus shots can be quite nasty it usually takes a week for it to calm down but if u are worried see the doc
