Sore Upper Arm

6 replies

Had the AZ vaccine at the weekend and other than a sore upper arm, no side effects. However, it’s now been four days and it’s still sore / tender and it’s not getting better. No problem with mobility but it does hurt more when I move it. I did sleep on it a couple of nights ago, which I doubt helped matters but I thought I’d have seen an improvement by now. Anyone experienced the same?

Mine was sore for about 10 days, no other side effects. All fine now

I have had similar after the flu jab. Ice pack and ibuprofen.

Yep - just the sore arm. It was similar for the flu jab, except for that I felt all over achy for a bit too.

Mine lasted about five days, same as the flu jab. After about three it was only really sore if I touched it.

Mine finally stopped hurting completely after about 2 weeks. HTe first week was really sore, hot and swollen at the site.

That’s reassuring - thanks all!
