Ice-pack, tylenol, and gentle massage usually works for me.

I took my grand daughter to the health clinic for her first shots, she had five, three in the top of one leg and two in the top of the other. She never flinched or whimpered.
When I went to med school I think I had a shot for just about everything there is, and, some things there isn't.
I remember when I had back surgery they forgot to put in a drain tube so, they had to put a wire up from the bottom of my coccyx and run it up into the center of my back, while I was awake.
Some people have had brain surgery and they've bean awake through it all.

Massage the arms and move them around. Ice can help, but the movement should work. You will not be sore tomorrow.

When you are having the shot do not tense the area or it will hurt much more. You may also be able to have a special numbing cream. if you have had a BCG at least you know it won't be as bad as that.
GOOD LUCK

Ice and motrin will make the pain go away
