Sorry to hear about the pain. It happens to most people with the tetanus shot.\nIt will go away in a few days.\n\nI'm sorry I couldn't get this message to you earlier.\n\nDo NOT get vaccinated.\n\nA vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than  a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.\nThere are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.\nJust sit back and think for a while.\nIs there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.\nWe have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.\n\nThe Vaccination Hoax\nhttp://www.whale.to/b/hoax1.html\n\n\nIf you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at\nhttp://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm\nYou will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.\n\nIf you want to study the history of vaccination, see\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/vaccination.html

You can relax. When I went to the Philippines a long time ago, I had to go through a series of shots. Yeah, it hurt a bit, and a couple of shots hurt for a couple of days. After a while, you'll see no evidence that you ever had any shots. And the good news is that your arms will be fine. Enjoy the trip.

i got typhoid when i went over to india and had this colossal pain in my stomach and because i was living in a little village, the local doctor was a hack. i had about twenty injections in my arm at one point, and i was throwing up everything that i was eating so they had to put me on a glucose drip. it took me two months to get better and when i did i looked like a skeleton.

You'll be fine! Just relax. Shots don't really hurt as bad as you might prophesize. Just look away when they give them to you. Talk to your mom while they give you the shots, to distract you from them. \n\nAnd the physical isn't that bad. They just take your weight, height, and maybe a urine sample. \n\nGood luck!

If you are in the position to offer someone else or yourself cyanocabalamin then you should KNOW how to administer it...\n\nShouldn't you?  \n\nIf you don't know, don't do it!  Plain and simple!  You could really hurt someone by giving a shot wrong so why would anyone tell you that?\n\n\nOkay good...  I feel better now! Thanks for clearing that up...You just never know on here...\n\nI would never tell someone how to do anything that dangerous on their own when they shouldn't be doing it!  \n\nAsk the doctor who prescribed it he should have specified on the script... or call the RPH who filled it and ask him?

I'm not. I have had numerous shots in my lifetime. It's really not as bad as some people think.\n\nAs a matter of fact, I even watch them give me the shot.

Good grief, I just answered this about 4 minutes ago. Shots themselves do not damage the area of injection. It is the material that is being injected that causes the damage. Ordinary medications, innoculations, etc. given by a Doctor do not cause damage. Street drugs such as heroine, cause irreversible damage to the sight of injection. That is why IV drug users have track marks. Look at diabetics. They give themselves injections daily with no damage or signs that they have injected anything. If you are so worried and want such hard evidence perhaps you should talk to your doctor or some health care professional.

I have had 7 ESI (epidural steroid injection) in my back.  It really doesn't hurt at all.  They don't give you a shot in the disc, they shoot the steroid in the muscle in the area where you are having pain.  You will feel some soreness for about 2 days but then most people get relief from the original pain.  \n\nA shot into a disc is called a Discogram.  This procedure is done in preparation for back surgery and it is extremely painful.\n\nI hope I cleared things up for you.  I have been through all of this and am now getting ready to have back surgery but please keep in mind my case is unusual.  Most people get relief from the steroid injection.  Please feel free to message me if you need more information.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!  :)

I was shot in the left bicep with a .223 british military round. What did I think before? Well before it happened I thought, my god I hope I don't get shot, I hope I shoot the other guy first. When it happened it felt like a really big bee stung me on my arm, and then it started to burn really bad. Afterwards I thought, I hope somebody shot that son of a byatch, and somebody had already.

I agree, check with your doctor to be sure. I am not sure from the way you have listed things above exactly what shots you got when. It would be unusual to get a Pertussis only, for instance, and I'm guessing you got a DPT in 92 and again in 98. In that case, you are not due a DT booster (i.e. Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoid) until 2008. It's every ten years from here on in.

I'm starting next month.  Maybe you can try different infusion sets?  I know for shots I bruise sometimes, mostly in my thighs.  I would say if what you use now doesn't work, try different sets.

Well unless you are a nurse its pretty dim!  You could end up with an infection and be very ill.  Where did you inject, did you even consider the damage you could do by putting it in the wrong place and hitting a blood vessel or nerve?\nBut you wanna take chanches...go ahead.  I wouldnt DIY and I AM a nurse!

Don't look at it -- a tetanus shot is a small volume given with a fine needle and you may hardly feel it unless you look and "know" you're getting stuck.  \n\nTetanus shots cause a mild soreness, but if you exercise that arm right away it doesn't became bad and doesn't last as long.
