Less kicking after shots?

Connor had his 4 month shots three days ago. Up until then he was doing the whole 'anti-gravity' movement with his legs all the time. Ever since the shots he just holds his legs straight out and kinda stiff. I thought it had to do with the pain and swelling in his legs, because if I pushed up on his feet he will bring his legs up and play with his feet.. then slam them back down and that would be that until I help him do it again. Is this normal after a few days?

  • I know for my own personal dtap shot in my arm, my shoulder KILLED me for about a week. Maybe it still hurts him?

  • I know, I had the same feeling with my arm. When I rubbed his legs he would grunt a bit which is how I knew it kinda was sore.. right now he doesn't do it. Maybe he is still sore though.

  • Though they looked fine, Ginny's legs were tender for a good 5 or 6 days. I'd give it another day or two and call if it doesn't change.

    I will if it doesn't change, I did feel a big knot in his leg where he got two shots though. I thought I rubbed it enough to make sure it didn't happen but it is large right now.
