How long was your arm sore after your Tdap shot?

Question

I'm in a lot of pain any can still barely move my arm after my shot last week. I'm not sure if this is normal or if I should call the doctor.

Answer

I had to look it up online because I've never had that reaction from getting a vaccine. I thought it was odd it felt like I got punched in the arm for about 3 days haha. Glad I'm not the only one

Answer

When I had mine it hurt really bad for about 5-6 days to the point where I couldn't even sleep on that arm cause it just killed!

Answer

Answer

Answer

Mine and my bfs arm hurt for about 3 days

Answer

If it's been a week and your arm is still that sore I would call your doc. My arm was very sore afterwards as well but it started to feel better by the third day and by the fourth day the pain was gone.

Answer

Is the tetanus shot the same thing as this? Or is this a new combination

Answer

1 day, maybe less! I was really active after I got the shot, cleaned and cooked and took the dog for a walk. No idea if that helped, but I do remember it being sore in the past - just not this time.
