For the ladies who have gotten the Tdap vaccine: did you have bad arm pain? I got mine yesterday and I can barely lift my left arm it is so sore! Does anyone know what can help besides Tylenol? Thank you!
YES! It was the worst! I wish I had a miracle cure for you, but nothing really helped me. It helped a bit to rub the injection spot and then Tylenol. Good news.. it subsides in about 2 days. Feel better!
Yes it was sore for a few days the first time I got it. I got it again at 32 weeks and this time I vigorously shook my arm right after and moved my arm a lot because it helps lessen the soreness a bit. But it's totally normal!
Thank you everyone! Ill try swinging it around some more and getting the blood going. I couldn't even sleep on that side last night and it kept me awake. But now that I'm up and active, it's not as noticeable.
The nurse who administered my shot told me it was best to keep my arm moving and active to help decrease the soreness. It was uncomfortable the first day, but after that it was just tender. I forced myself to move it a lot and I really think it helped.
Yes, mine hurt for about three days, and possibly just by coincedence those three days were pretty miserable overall physically, but just like a headache it just goes away and you feel a million times better. Last time I got the TDaP I had multiple glasses of wine, this time I just did nothing.
I only had a little bit of soreness for a couple days (only hurt when I touched it or laid on my side). It is perfectly normal to have a lot of soreness though. I was surprised I didn't

Re: Tdap arm pain
Yeah, it's the tetnus in the Tdap that causes that pain. I didn't take anything. I just dealt with it. It goes away after about two days!
Oh shoot! I didn't even think of this. Thanks for your input!
