The pain will be gone in about 2 days, so don't worry about it. Take some Ibuprophen and try an ice pack on your injection site.~

I remember when i got a tetnis shot and it does feel really sore a few days after. It just takes some time to relieve the pain and try not to move it as much. If you are a righty, they would have gave you the shot in ur left arm so that it wouldn't be used as much. but if it still hurts, takes some tylano or asprin. Hope you feel better!

The pain goes away in a day or so. Until then, you can put an ice pack on your arm to help. This shot is worth the pain though, tetnis isn't something to mess around with!

I don't know why the nurse giving the shot would not tell you, but if you rub the knot it left in your arm [butt?] it will help the absorbsion of the shot and it will not hurt as long or as bad.
use the heal of your hand and massage the area gently for 10-15 min every couple of hours.

Yup it may be sore for a few days. Do not use aspirin!! Try tylenol and if it doesn't feel better in a few days have your mom call your doctor.

Take aspirin and try to ignore it. It usually only hurts for a day and a half. I was lucky with my booster, it didn't hurt at all that time.
