Tetanus shots have to go into the muscle, hence the pain. They basically did inject a golf ball into your muscle. :(I got a tetanus vaccine yesterday.... I'm in sooooo much pain! :( :( :( my arm is all swollen and it kills to use my biceps so lifting my arms and holding them out is so painful. It feels like they injected a golf ball under my skin. The worst part is I have an 8 hour shift of cashiering tomorrow. bring on the heavy items like bottles of soda, giant ham things and huge packs of water bottles. anyone else ever have this problem? how do i make it feel better.. ive tried ibuprofen.
