DD screaming in pain after having MMR yesterday

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

she had her pre school booster yesterday and she is screaming in pain when you straighten her arm. Is this right? I dont think it should be hurting her this much, am worried and not really sure what to do.

Doesnt sound right. take her back to the dr i think.

Take her to the Doctor.

given her some calpol, going to phone the docs when it opens in 10mins if she is not better. why is everything so complicated, I dont know whether to take her to school or not now.

Nothing else, just her arm, and only one arm even though she had injections in both.

I dont know which one it was, they blindsides me, I didnt realise I had aggree to so many, she had MMR, tetenas, polio, HIb and meningistus. poor little love, bit ott, think they could have spread them out a bit.

good grief. That is two triple vaccinations and one single - so seven in one go!
take her to the Doctor

no crying in pain in not normal

please take her straight to the drs. no school

well I did take her to school, I wish I hadnt and I am worried sick about her now, my friend who is a nurse had a look and said it was OK, I hve kept my mobile in my hand all morning hoping that school will ring me to bring her home. I hope she has been OK.

It wasnt swollen or anyhting, just sore, i talked to a nurse at school instead, she had a look at it and told me it is OK and what to look for, problem is dd can be a bit of a drama queen so I am never quite sure how bad things are. She pulled a sicky on me last week now i feel really guilty.

My arm always gets very sore/stiff when I have injections. I always thought it was a normal reaction.

Same here christywhisty, I remember tetanus being particularly bad.

yes,definitely tetanus the worse

Ds couldn't walk for two or three days once after an injection, so I sympathise totally. I think the jab must just have gone into the muscle too much and damaged it too much for him to walk without pain. He literally was unable to walk - well, unable in the sense that he couldn't because it was so painful.

Well vaccinations can make the muscle sore.

How is she today? If it's still really painful it might be a good idea to get her seen to make sure there's no nerve damage (although that is very rare).
