I got a tetanus shot yesterday and my arm gets sore when I sleep on my left side. Boooooo
Sorry, just complaining. LOL It doesn't hurt badly, it's just annoying. Please don't punch me on the arm. LOL
I remember after we got our vaccines in school some kids would go around punching people in their arms. They thought it was funny until they got a punch back. LOL
Oh, brings back memories LOL.

i'm glad you got the shot. its better safe than sorry. i think there's a risk of tetanus anytime you puncture the skin, so a doctor will recommend it, but its nothing to freak out about. i remember during my 2 week career at Petco this young girl i worked with got bit by a sick hamster while giving him medicine. i told her she should get a tetanus shot and she got all freaked out! i tried to explain that it wasn't a big deal, but she never came back after that.

My arm seems more sore today. I can still see the injection spot, it's red. Is this normal? Am I just being a big baby?
Waaa, my arm is sore.

Yeah, it's normal. It's like when you get a bruise - sometimes it hurts more the day after you get it. Wait a few days, and it'll get better. Ice it if it really is sore.

> sunnydaysThanks sunnydays
It got more sore, but tonight it's finally getting better. I hope I'll be able to sleep on my left side tonight.
I'm still glad I got the shot. Tetanus is nothing to mess around with.
