Sore arm for a day

whereisthekey · 17/12/2021 10:08

sore arm after about 3 hours. then felt totally wiped out and rubbish for 24 hrs. then woke up totally fine the second day.

Sore arm, tired, rash and just feeling off. The worst part is the pain in my armpit

I suffered mildly with jab one, badly with jab two, and had nothing other than a slightly tender arm after jab three.

I've got mine today! 1st 2 were AZ - headache and sore arm after the 1st, nothing after the second. DH didn't have and side effects with AZ but had a migraine the day after the Pfizer booster. Had covid approx 6 weeks prior to booster.

I had the Pfizer booster yesterday (had AZ for both previous jabs). My arm is sore and I do feel a bit tired, but nothing too bad.

Sore arm, bit tired, bit nauseous and headachy. Far far better than after either AZ, didn't stop me doing anything and had a v busy day yesterday.

Really pleasantly surprised

Thanks for the replies. I'm very tired today, feel sick and started a painful period a week after my last one ended which is weird. But no serious reaction.

Sore arm, slight headache. On balance, probably more fun than getting COVID Smile

None. My arm just ached at the injection site for a couple days . My first 2 were AZ so wasn't sure what to expect with Pfizer.

PupInAPram · 17/12/2021 15:58

3 day hangover. Not bad enough to stay off work though. Pfizer booster. Nothing at all after my first 2 (AZ).

Realitea · 17/12/2021 19:07

I had my pfizer booster yesterday and have had palpitations on and off since
Is that normal? Also feel quite tired and dizzy at times

Babyroobs · 17/12/2021 19:34

Sore arm and felt wiped out for the day after. Otherwise fine.

ChristmasAtHogwarts · 17/12/2021 19:36

I had sore legs and a headache after jab 1. Completely floored after jab 2 - shivers, exhausted, extreme nausea, headache
Mild headache after my booster but nothing else

My husband has got worse with each jab and he’s the only one who’s ever tested positive on a pcr (he had it the beginning of the year but I never got symptoms so not sure if I had it too?) he was horrendous after his booster: headache so bad he couldn’t sit up and was vomiting, sky high temperature!

Had mine about 30 minutes ago. Felt unwell for 36 hours after first AZ buy nothing after the second. I'm hoping for nothing more than a sore arm although I barely felt the injection.

I can't name my GP's surgery but they were so efficient and cheerful. I live about half a mile away from the surgery, walked there and back and had the vaccine in 17 minutes.
