Title says it all really. May call the docs when they open - feels 8/10 on pain level. Swolen up really really big (about 2cm outwards from normalarm).
Normal? I am 31 wks and just want to check verything is ok.
Thanks

oh yes, whooping cough jab hurt for 2/3 days :-\ as flu one was only 24 hours.

My flu one didnt hurt at all and neither did this one. Woke up with Popeye shaped arm post spinich and panicked. Good to know it's normal though. Thank you :-)

I had mine last week. My arm didn't swell but I did feel like I'd been punched in the arm repeatedly by a large boxer. It hurt a LOT for about three days...

I had mine on weds, I'm also 31 weeks. It was a little swollen but really uncomfortable. Haven't been able to sleep on that side.
