Call your doctor. It could be a side effect or even an allergic reaction from the vaccine. If it is arthritis, your doctor can diagnose that also.

could be cluster headaches...they feel like migraines. could even be tension headaches. they can be terribly painful too, and are usually caused from neck and shoulder pain working it's way up into your head. i don't know how you got away with ganking some morphine, but i wouldn't advise attempting to inject yourself again...seriously. you don't know what dosage to give yourself, and morphine is not too fun of an experience...it causes most ppl to vomit harshly, which will cause you a lot more pain. if you're not injecting in a sanitary way, you can get an infection and get really ill.  i really do understand your pain...i have migraines and cluster headaches...tegretol might help you. other meds to ask about are, talwin, neurontin, ultram, even methadone...i've had to use all of them before. these drugs are highly addictive, and you have to be managed by a doctor.  you may need to have a cat scan to see if something is wrong in your brain, and causing the headaches. cat scans are not scary or painful, and they don't take long to perform. i hope you get some relief soon. take care.

You may have slightly torn a forearm muscle.\n\nRemember for 24 hours, R.I.C.E\nRest, Compression, Ice and Elevation\n\nHeat after that and anti-inflams.\nGood Luck

Don't look at what's going on. Unfortunately tetanus shots are administered through the muscle so there is going to be some discomfort. Just remember to breathe slowly. Think about your favorite things and even sing a song out loud. Don't be worried about the doctors or nurses thinking you're crazy because I'm sure they have seen and heard it all.\nGood luck and you'll do just fine.

As you probably already know... Tetanus is:\n\nTetanus [TET-nus] is a condition that affects the nervous system and causes painful, uncontrolled muscle spasms. \nPeople get tetanus when spores of the tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound and produce a powerful nerve poison. Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. \nTetanus is preventable through immunization. Because of widespread use of tetanus vaccine, the condition is now rare. I know that most doctors almost INSIST that senior citizens keep up to date on their tetanus shots.\n\nNOw...The first signs of tetanus infection are usually a headache and spasms or cramping of the jaw muscles (lockjaw). As the poison spreads, it progressively attacks more groups of muscles, causing spasms in the neck, arms, legs, and stomach, and sometimes violent convulsions (seizures... remember that the key word here is SPASMS

You can stick nicotine patches virtually anywhere - apart from close to your heart - with equal effect.  I've stuck them on my bum before now, but not many people know that.  Unfortunately, if the patches make your arm itch they will probably make anywhere you stick them itch just as much.  You can get other forms of nicotine replacement therapy, at the moment I'm using a 'pipe' with nicotine cartridges and am finding them much more effective than the patches were.  Good luck with quitting!

You may want to get checked out - as the pain from tennis elbo does not normally shoot to other locations in the arm.  It is typically localized to the elbow and surrounding forearm muscles and tendons.  \n\nIf you have tennis elbow - Early on start with ice to the affected area (off and on when you can for 48 to 72 hours after the onset of problems. Acute swelling can be worsened by heat. \nRest (no tennis) for a while.\nAfter the acute period, heat may be beneficial. \nThroughout, antiinflammatory meds like advil - if you can take these - are helpful as well.\nWhen back to tennis - test the waters. If aggravated, re-ice and take more time. Good Luck

Honestly it depends on where you will be getting the injection.  I've had eleven of them this year in various locations.  Most of the time I felt fine, tender yes, but other than that fine the following day.  It was the day after that when I hurt like crazy.   I was getting mine in a joint, my SI Joint and hip joint too.  And it ached.  Just be prepared for the worst.  Bring along whatever pain meds you have been prescribed.  And maybe a cooler with ice packs.  You may need them to help reduce swelling in the area of the injection.

Oh, ya. It hurts so bad. For three straight years I had the shooting pains of TN and a burning sensation on the whole side of my face and head. Couldn't eat, sleep, wash my face or teeth on that side, the slightest breeze would be almost unbearable. Tegretol (an anti-convulsant) worked for me pretty well, however I would still have episodes. My doctor discovered a herpes virus next to my trigeminal nerve. He put me on Acyclovir a herpes medication and I have been pain free for several months now. I do not have herpes anywhere else in my body. I hope you have a doctor that is helpful and empathetic. Only go for the surgeries as a last resort.

Registered Nurse here; First tell the person giving you the vaccination you are afraid, they should immediately reassure you, let you take your time, take a deep breath, vaccinations are actually given with a tiny needle, but I know they can still be uncomfortable.  Now you may think this rather odd, but I have used this technique, very successful in the past and present.  When I have a child, young adolescent, or teenage, or adult for that matter that is terrified.  I ask them If I can gently slap the site of the injection, if they agree, I give a gentle, firm, slap, followed immediately by the injection, I have yet to have a patient even tell me they felt the needle, nor have I ever had a patient to get upset with me.  I don't mean I slap the thunder out of them, just a gentle, firm, slap to the deltoids of the arm.

If you haven't had a tetnus shot in a while may wanna do that now. Get checked for hepatitis too. Never know where that needle was. Call your MD.

The site of a tetanus shot will be sore for about a week. It is normal.

The pins and needles thing is a side effect, supposedly it will "magicly" disapear. Pain and constant numbness sounds serious though, could it be diabetes related though? I dont know, go see a doctor. Whats you blood pressure? Remeron lowers it somtimes, might explain weakness. Whoknowes, go see a doctor.

Being sore after these shots is very common.  Try some Motrin and have her use the arm.  The pain will reduce over the next few days.  Should her arm begin to swell, she gets a high fever or a rash then call the doctor.
