So had my vaccine today and my arm now feels like I've been punched 100 times. Like a dead arm constantly. Is it normal? I'm not exactly a wimp when I comes to pain but this is starting to annoy me. 😂

Mine is still tender 2 weeks later. This is my 3rd time getting the vaccine. All were sore

The immune response starts at the site of injection hence the discomfort

Yeah it's fucking painful. Had mine last Friday and it still hurts.

Me too! I never bruised from needles before but just had the whooping cough jab and the glucose test, and both arms were blue and sore for days. Maybe it's to do with blood pressure changes in pregnancy?

My MW advised me to book it once I'd had my 20w scan. I'll be 25w when I have the vaccine.

Mine was super sore and tender for about a week, never had that reaction before and couldn’t sleep on it.
